Understanding What We Are

There is a huge resistance to this suggestion, almost a war against it. And the reason for this, is simple - we have become horrible persons - the opposite of what we should be.

We should be good to each other, but we are not. We cannot even be good to ourselves - because somehow, this does not feel right.

It hardly needs be said - that we are not aware of this, and do not want to be aware of it.

I want to find something to blame for this situation. Something that made us be bad. But this is impossible - the best we can do, is accept that it has happened. The last thing on earth, that we will accept.

It's not hard to get people to recognize that something is wrong - but next to impossible to get them to say what is wrong. All they want is action of some kind, but what kind of action does not seem to matter.

Let us consider - the election of Trump in America. This was the result of a chaotic political situation, where almost anything could have happened - but he stepped in and clarified it (or seemed to clarify it).

The net result, has been a worsening of conditions in America - that seems to satisfy Americans. To put this another way - Americans are destroying America, and Trump is helping them do this.

This is not an unusual situation - Athens destroyed itself in the 5th Century BCE - as its own historians recognized. And Athens was a democracy, our first one.

Human society seems to go through cycles of Construction and Destruction - and now we are now in a Destructive phase. A global one.
