Well, one thing that I realized in 2022 is that you just can not force people into doing good. Even if it is to save their own asses. They have to want to do it by themselves.
True. I guess the same goes for not being able to force people into doing evil. It just makes it easier for them to commit evil acts when it also helps them to save their own asses in the short-term. They also have to want to be evil, whatever their motivation, or sometimes their innate nature.
I want to be the first to comment . To set the tone. To let your admirers go get tomatos to throw at me. So.....here it goes: It kinda hurts me , because I like you. I like many of your articles. The "truth and reality" parts, especially. The questions, as in Musk's real motives , your seeming clarity about the direction we have been and are still headed (vaccines, rna, etc) . And then , imo , you are faced with the dilemna that bloggers find themselves in . How do I conclude my article. "why, i have to write something positive. C'mon team, we are down 30 points but keep on fighting! ." That's good ! And so we put together a word salad . People smile and praise is given .
Ninja sits in a corner and reads it again : "Lately, I’ve began to look at our collection of lost souls and awakened souls, somewhat differently. I had been so focused on right vs. wrong and truth vs. lies. I had never stopped to appreciate how much beauty there is in seeing. I had never paused to realise how much joy I get when I witness others waking up to the true nature of their reality."
Ninja is at a loss for words. I will need to go over that with George when we have dinner . I have told him that the direct humor is not going over so well with the sensitive souls who feel enlightened, awakened. They say it is too dark . George told me he just didn't care anymore . " Just find the true nature of your reality, Ninja " ......... sighhhh tomatoes. i guess i just like tomatoes
Fair point, I can see how it may look like I wanted to end on a high. I used to end most articles bleakly. If I feel there is something positive to share, I'll write about it. Sometimes we are xx points down and that's that. Some people I know who are awake seem angry and bitter and hopeless because of how much they know, and how everything seems to get worse. Others who are just starting to wake up, seem to have gotten their spark back and they care about world events once again.
I have upset friends with some of the things I have written, and no doubt others won't always agree with everything I write, and articles won't always hit the mark. I don't want to self-censor on how I see things, but I always welcome feedback and constructive criticism. Thank you.
And a fair point on your part, as well. I guess I get a bit upset when there are sentences expressing something that is beyond my comprehension . Maybe i am just dumb 555. Your statement "Some people I know who are awake seem angry and bitter and hopeless because of how much they know, and how everything seems to get worse." I can understand , and what is often lost in my comments is that I advocate and I think practice , the art of being strong and doing the best to improve ones self. I don't like to harp on it...... but the degree of hypocricy i witness even within "our fellow patriots" is what irks me the most.
I do think you write well .... and have my support, as well as being a "devils advocate" at times.
It's ok to disagree and express other viewpoints. It's healthy. I am aware of how idealistic I can be, probably to the point of naivety and delusion, in my hopes for people rediscovering their lost humanity.
It hurts having so many friends and family that are still oblivious to everything that is happening, or distancing themselves from anything that would upset the apple cart. It will probably take most of them years before they acknowledge all the tyranny and genocide we are living through now.
Yes, I'm in the same boat. Most of all now, after three years of daily anguish, (and still none of the normies in my life show any indication of waking up let alone apologizing) but your words "beauty of seeing" sort of express how I feel about *myself* which is a kind of ego-less self-appreciation/admiration for who I am... a feeling of appreciating God in my life (non-religious though. I can't do Christianity anymore). At least I know who I am at the core of my being, and I venerate only the truth. Which for me is who/what God is.

Think of the irony . Here is an oft quoted masterpiece , usually thought of in a positive light . chai mai ? Yes... the irony. Could we get 10 people, a 100 people.... a million people together to see if they could peacefully agree which of those "things" , at this time in history . fall into which category . And I would surely bet all my worldly possesions that the ensuing "debate" would turn into another chaotic example of human "togetherness" . Kind and soft at first, till the volume turns up, the egos get inflamed, and voila..... another media forum filled with trolls and vitriole . Say it ain't so .
We are all a bit delusional . Many others even more , oblivious . Could it be self=preservation ? I could stay on the internet from now till eternity and never finish reading the things "WE" need to do to regain our humanity. To destroy evil, in all its forms. Everyone must make their own choice. Actually, i think i realize that those majority might be right to not want to "think too much" . My daughter is a PHD and she says as much . What does it do (if we can not change the world) ? Maybe intelligence , as well as ignorance.... is making the right choice regarding "wisdom" .
For those who are idealistic (myself being one) ........ the best I have come up with so far to survive knowing the dire straights Freedom is facing today... is just :
Which things should I accept. Which things do I think I can change ?
I am not ashamed to admit I feel hurt and angry at the state of the world. I do not accept it , but i do try to do what I can ""Be the change you wish to see in the world".
