Whatever You Do, Stay Sane
August is a month of calm before the perfect storm.
Enjoying your summer? I hope it doesn’t rain too much and you get enough sunshine. Unless you are in the south of Europe or sub-Sahara. Then you are waiting for the rainy days.
Enough of a small talk.
Do you feel the storm approaching? Not the natural one, the one which comes from the sky. Not that one. I am talking about the shit storm we are going to go through which will come from the useless people with ties under their necks. You know, those from the TV screens.
They kept us confused for a long time now, as soon as we started to relax they gave us more things to worry about.
Be honest with yourselves, nothing makes sense anymore. We are trying hard to put nonsensical things into order, but the people with ties under their necks keep messing everything up.
Revolution is coming. I have no idea who will be instigating it but it’s coming. Riots on the streets, looting, death is over the bent.
You don’t have to believe me. Keep pretending that everything will sort itself out. They keep telling you that the “normal” is gone but your heart wants to believe that the “new normal” won’t be that much different to the “old normal.” I feel your pain. I wish I could tell you that “Everything will be alright.” It won’t.
We live in a complex reality, nothing is simple over here. It has become too complex and it has to be taken apart and rebuild anew. Unfortunately, the people with the ties under their necks think that they know better. But they don’t know any better. Greedy, power-hungry people can’t know any better.
It’s up to each one of us to build our own reality. People are in pain. It churns their souls, it makes them do stupid things. Nothing good can come out of it.
A compassionate person sees himself or herself in every being.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Peace and love. (we will need it).
