Random thoughts better kept to yourself.
The world is a mess. Happiness is defined by ignoring the mess. Is this real happiness, of course not, but it is the best that most people can do.
Why is the world a mess – no one can really explain it, however technology outstripping our moral capacity to deal with it can be a good start at understanding what is happening.
Another dirty little secret: Our leaders do not have a clue what to do about it. This explains the surreal feeling our political debates have about them. People floundering for answers they do not have, act this way. They do not know any better, but we should.
So be it. What do we do about it?
No much, but at least we know what is going on. Is this too cynical for most? Perhaps, but realism is still the way to recovery. Hard pill to swallow? You bet, but swallow it you must if you intend to build a real life for yourself.
