state of the union...

what lives of inconsequence we lead. sometimes i wish i could kill the Myself and care for Another other than Me. it is unfortunate that it is so fiercely against my own nature to do so. we occlude oursleves in our own prisons of selfishness. we seek comfort and relaxation in the company of a glass and plastic box. we work to get the paycheck, to pay the bills, to lease the new car, to get to work, to get the paycheck. we move through life enjoying our bmw's and macintoshes and tivo's and leather couches while our brethren and sistren starve to death on the streets not simply from lack of bread, but lack of Daily Bread.


it is a pitiable day when one feels convinced that to be charitable, loving, peaceful, forgiving, kind and self-sacrificial: the things that we hold to be fully


humane.


is, in fact, to be completely


inhuman.








(more positive posts are coming, i swear! i have just been a bit discouraged and unimpressed with humanity as of late) ;-)

Humane . . . inhuman . . . It's a seamless continuum. Misery . . . happiness . . . one can't be had without the other. Accept; delve in; taste fully; it's only ONCE around . . . Jan Forever
