From corporate and government corruption, the wars at home and away, to the lacking trust in our systems of information, it is easy to make the mistake of losing sight for the future. I will not preach to you about ‘waking up’ but the signs of revolution are not hard to notice, and I wonder whether or not we are prepared for the times.
AI technologies expanding rapidly under global corporate control, recognition of long-awaited UAP cover-ups, government censorship, and the entanglements and intimidations of our nation’s adversaries, all under a veil of sugar-coating and wasted press conferences. Is anyone else in silent fear?
I fear the weight of the times, and I can imagine the repercussions of our current decisions when based in such fears. FDR had said that we have only to fear “fear itself,” and to be guided by fear is to gamble away the chances of a choice, a choice to do right without the fear of being wrong.
Too many folks my age see this moment now as the time of ‘storming the castle gates’; too many generalizations of smashing the ‘system’ and destroying the ‘establishment’. And replace it with what? What is the master plan? Are we so in fear of the flaws of such ‘systems’ that we must throw them out entirely? This type of thinking is not healthy for any kind of revolution.
I fear we pick at problems too much, posing complaints and our awareness as viable solutions, when it only gives a broader platform for the problem to stand on. We think charging ahead with our mouths and our pitchforks will be an act of heroism, of doing our part to some higher deed and those not aligned be kept out of mind.
Who are we to think of us all as such heroes? Who are we to think of ourselves as the hand that all should want to be lent?
I only press what I guess to be a warning for those too excited for a revolution, that we shouldn’t be too quick to call out ‘Final Answer’ when trillions of dollars, billions of lives are on the line. Consult with your neighbor without the fear of uncertainty and of being wrong. You are going to be wrong in life; it is best to find a right way to handle it.
The best thing we can do is learn. All of humanity has evolved on the basis that we’ve learned something, adapted, passed onto generation after generation, learning more with each perspective. What will we learn in this time? What will we teach? Perhaps it will be the hope in our ability to learn.
