“I don’t like you” — four words that come with no blessing in the 21st Century — an expressed opinion that no one wants to hear — a part of your psyche that should be hidden away to preserve social graces. How did the 21st Century regress back into something that now more resembles the values of the Victorian Age?

To be “controversial” means one is forcing an opinion into the world that seeks to disturb the value judgements of another — which is exactly what one would do if the baby food of choice is a publishing mindset.

An expressing mindset is hardly the same thing, because reflection is not the domain of the majority, it is the thought patterns of a marginal group — and self-expression is all about thinking out aloud. Unfiltered thinking is dangerous in a heavily filtered world — and our world today is filter-filled.

Political correctness aims to civilize our savage self and bring a bland human being into existence who has found a way of appeasing every opinion and eradicate any possibility of a backlash. Political correctness as a means to combat abuse is hardly note worthy when such correctness itself is an abuse.

If bullies need to be stopped, they need to be directly confronted with their actions and challenged — which isn’t political correctness at all, and all that political correctness does is whitewash history — so Gandhi is led as an example but the militant movements in India at the same time like the Azad Hind are forgotton, Martin Luther-King is eulogized but the contribution of the Black Panther movement and the radical call to challenge from Malcolm X, tamed down. Instead we become the antithesis of bullies with political correctness — because we still want others to do things OUR WAY.

The “LIKE” generation, the “Happiness Movement” all have a positive contribution to our psyche, because a smile is more healthy than a frown, but sadness is a healthy phenomena when one knows it was born from nature, not from political correctness. We need to let nature happen and step in when nature becomes cruel — and “cruel” is a human word, not a word that evolves in nature.

So I want to be an anathema to everything we try to do in the name of humanity that ends up having unintended consequences — simply because it’s underlying nature is actually a corruption of our humanity. At the same time we have to balance our humanity with the ecology of nature that supports life on a living planet. Nature operates on Venus to, but humanity can’t live there — nature there is as unfriendly to humanity as human beings can be ignorant of the cause and effect relationship to nature.

Even if we can eliminate completely all negativity in human relationships and all negative words, should Yellowstone Park erupt as a super-volcano, the first words coming out of human beings in its destructive path isn’t going to be politically correct — all that is facile and unnecessary falls away when the shit hits the fan.

We human beings are creative and innovative beings but in order to employ the full range of our faculties and capabilities (as such), we need access to the full gamut and range of our humanness. Some of that range may not be “liked” on the public stage — but it is liked when we put an empathic story around it — and we end up trying to fix people — instead of trying to figure out what health care is — and that HEALTH should bethe focus when we say “Health” and Care — well that is something we do, rather than talk about. Otherwise we are in the realm of Disease Care — or far worse Disease Indifference. Today Health Care really reveals itself as Health Indifference.

So I have expressed thoughts that used to be in my head — and there is no pennies in heaven for having expressed them — no branding component to package them as a sell job to anyone who happens to read them, and no agenda to transform the reader into a believer or someone who will be a consumer of the published product. Here it is — a real anathema — someone writing for nothing but the love of it, without desire to create followers for it, without need to transform words into financial return or to try to change the world. If I change myself towards a wiser existence, I automatically change the world towards a wiser existence.
