Loathing Life
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within
yourself, in your way of thinking.
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear
never beginning to live. The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts
make it. [Marcus
Aurelius]
There appears to be a feeling
amongst the world’s human race that some lives matter less than others. This is
in my opinion the root of all that is wrong with the world today. Truly, it is
disheartening to feel this way as it reflects a cold and callous way of
deciding which is more important in our lives and which are disposable or not
included in our own priorities in life. Surely this method of determining
importance borders on asinine and incompetent decision-making processes; at least
that is how I see it.
This decision making is
ignorance at its best. After all is said, in whose interest in the decision
made? You have ask yourself, who benefits the most out such ignorant blurts or
emotions; yours or mine or some other third party? Asking this most important
question might re-direct your heart back where it belongs. Kindness, compassion
and other positive emotions have been eroded or erased and need to come back to
the human race.
Why is government teaching us
how to hate so much and how did these hereditary traits and propensities to
hate strangers or things unknown to warrant such a feeling? Hating strangers
makes no sense but is the root of all those chants that some lives matter more
than other humans, including those of animals who have done us no harm at all.
Within our own scheme of
existence, we have devaluated the lives of others. We have lost our belief that
all men are created equal and we have lost our respect and dignity for the
irreplaceable fact that once a human life has been taken, it cannot come
back. To kill someone because their
lives don’t matter is delusional and surreal to the human emotions. How did it
come so far we can execute without conscience and lose our grip on the matter
of existence or in this case, co-existence with each other.
This is no longer about
survival. This is not about preserving our freedoms and rights. This is about
homicide or genocide by engaging in a thought process that is arbitrarily and
randomly seeking out victims of death by justifying the means to preserve one’s
own life. This is wrong and should be addressed morally and legally by
government and society in a manner that may nurture a comeback to civilization.
The paths have been designed
by government and radicals whose only interest is to eradicate opposition to
their own viewpoints and political gains. There is no legitimate cause to kill
people without just cause or reason as our wars have clearly demonstrated, the
collateral damage is much worse than the war itself. Wars are not
character-building experiences; they foster death. Wars undermine the civil
minded means to preserve life and in the process, justify such loss of life by
saying it was meant to be due to their own naïve lack of confidence in mankind
and its existence here on Earth.
Man does not breathe a sense
of divinity and to entertain the notion that we respect life less for some more
than others in itself is contrary to the moral compass we grew up with. Even
the evolution believers can see how this has evolved into a killing spree of
man and animals around the world.
What does this say about us
and our human nature to be a civilized nation? Where are the reflections of
human kindness and compassion towards man or animals in our world? Our world is
but a small speck in our universe. We had better make the best of it because
Earth is all we have. There are no escape routes to another world. This is the
world we live in and in order to survive, we must learn how to start to get
along with each other all over again. It is a practical matter that is an
essential part of our survival.
We have to stop letting the
political rhetoric and other distracting hate messages; providing us easy
answers but the wrong ones morally most of the time and dodge the lethality of
such cheapened value of what we know as life. We need to make such warmongers
and haters uncomfortable to preach such practice and show them how cheap and
immoral they really are.
We need to take control and
support the positive practitioners who embrace life; life of our human
partners, life of our animal kingdom and life of our plant. We need to restore
the human experience of love and compassion for life. We have drifted from our
own morality to please others or to ignorantly follow those who have preached
hate and war rather than love and peace.
If the dead could speak, they
would warn us of our destiny. If the dead could write messages, they would tell
us fascinating tales of how we are heading down the wrong road to hell. If the
dead could show us how to live and how to love, we would benefit from their own
experiences and find better solutions. In the end, if the dead would guide us
down a better road we are presently on.
Today, we live with the
reality that only the dead know we are on road or path that takes away our
dreams, our comforts, our rights and freedoms to a point of no return. If the
dead could talk, they would accurately foretell our future and we already know
that by our own chance of knowledge, the future is bleak and dark.
Life itself is not a
laboratory where things can be set up to be perfect in nature. The fact is that
life itself is puzzling and counterintuitive just like the truth is for us.
There will be contradictions and deeply held beliefs that cause us to think one
way or another. One has to really think and study deeply in order to find the
truth and even the truth can be misleading or unclear, causing more confusion.
The more one thinks the more
sense it seems to make to find a better solution or outcome. That is the human
method or solving problems and no laboratory can replace the human mind. One
can use the human mind to set up the laboratory but the experiments are created
from the mind. Thus the truth can be painstakingly hard to accept at times and
tampering with these results to find your own truth is what has brought us to
the point of no return today.
When all possibilities are
checked, we choose the least favorable to human life and preservation of such
existence. At the end of all this work, we discard the good and preserve the
bad; that’s how we determine which lives matter. This is how the bar of life is
reduced through selfish experiments and thinking with error causing the end
being what the mind produces as facts. Instead of preserving life and devote
the experiment to such positivity and joy, the experiment creates an idea that
is found to be worthless in value thus we discard the good and remove from the
clutter of human error, the wrong morality to kill instead of living.
