Many Good People

This rant is happening more and more often on a Monday now. For years it’s been on a Sunday. But I never write them in advance, which means I was always carving out time to work on a Sunday. And I want Sunday to be a day off, where I can relax, do fun things. So this is more of a Monday thing now I suppose.

Things are thinging. Know what I mean? The world is on fire. It feels like there’s so much bad shit being disclosed at the moment that it’s impossible to process. Actual global overstimulation. I don’t know what to do.

How do we react? What is appropriate? It feels insane to be continuing the grind, paying taxes, scraping together money for rent, while we find out that so many of the people in charge of us are deeply evil. Deeply fucking evil. It doesn’t make sense anymore.

Are we meant to know this much about the world? Is it too much? Regardless of whether it is or not, this is our reality. We do know this much. We are all-seeing. And we’re not built for it, at least not yet. So we’re all numbing, flattening. We’re in freeze mode. I think that’s what’s happening. It’s what it feels like.

But there is also, simultaneously, so much good. So many good people, all trying to make this place better. We have to remember that, try to focus on it. Avoid falling into cynicism. Anything but that.

Wherever you are, I hope you are well, that you understand yourself, that you know what you’re here to do. And if you don’t know, don’t worry. There’s still time. We are distracted and it’s hard to know but the purpose will find you eventually, and it will welcome you in.
