ABSURDITY AS THE NEW REALITY

    “It's absurd!”

That is the statement that I am making far more often these days than ever before. That is the reality of the world today. Words and statements are presented as words direct from the Heavens and spouted forth to be accepted by willing ears and challenged minds. Making no sense, yet they are the apparent favorites of too many of this world. Herds of the unthinking and/or underthinking beings gather together to cheer that which they should boo with enthusiastic derision. How is one to make sense of what is nonsense, what cannot be sense, for it is just absurd?

More absurd than the words themselves are the contents of those words. So often, too often, people stand with posters and banner, pins and ribbons, and chant in hypnotic rhyming words and tone, blocking and intimidating to the best of their ability, ostensibly putting forth deep and righteous thoughts. With a few more seconds of sensible    perusal of planned chants and plans, the innate absurdity of the garbage they were peddling would have been blatant and unable to be ignored. 

More bizarre is the fact that what they were championing, all these protesters, hoodwinked and overflowing with hatred, was contrary to civilized and enlightened society for they stood there urging, praising, murder and havoc rained upon whom and what they disliked. Their suggestions, their words of praise, are anathema and yet too often they found supporters, some equally as hoodwinked, and some simply overflowing faulty barrels of toxic contagious Evil. 

It seems as if the entire world has gone off track, wobbling on its axis, and brains are exploding. Adults who should and indeed do know better, joined in on the fun, so eagerly displaying their progressiveness and desire to atone for past contrary words and actions. What was not known then, but is well known now, is that these protests, these marches, these ugly demonstrations, were not so spontaneous. 

Clearly definable lines of connection between organizations of terror and campus organizers, of intense preparation of material and accoutrements, of funds at the ready, all so necessary for success of their obscene actions were uncovered. Yet, absurdly, the followers of this roiling ugly faith, dripping anathemic corrosive words of condemnation and threat for all who did not follow along, continued on, just dumb and dangerous herds. 

This discovery, so late in its finding, in its late and still denied and defied acknowledgement, spread rapidly to streets and campuses of nations round the world. Absurd - yet there it tis, a new reality. Ugly. Nonsensical. Homicidal and Suicidal. A gaggle of ugly geese laying rotten eggs. The air of the world suffused with the reek of sulfur straight from the lowest depths of Hell.

Absurd, contrary to common sense, to anyone with a modicum of sense, with a few working gray cells is the pushing for, advocating for and urging of murder and chaos. It will only result in a formidable backlash, a reversal of the hatred, a focusing on the instigators, discounting their pathetic words of defense and the end will be worse than the beginning. 

This has been proven so since the beginning of time, as soon as two people emerged from their respective caves, yet on we go maintaining this most clearly fruitless, negative behavior, too often, most often, with resultant conditions worse than ever. 

Yet we do not catch on, do we?    

The primary definition of insanity.

 Even more absurdly in our ugly reality, instead of choosing leaders of wisdom, of compassion, capable of thinking out of the box leaders, so desperately needed, we instead turn to the absurd. Once again. Too often again. Look around the world at the nations of the globe and see how many of these "leaders” are criminals of more than one act, in such careers of long-term duration, and crazed with greed and desire for power. 

What the hell is the matter with humanity?

 What the hell is the matter with us, at least those of us who know better, who have working brain cells?

One such leader is bad enough, capable of causing great harm. Worse is the rate at which they are proliferating, at the rate of rabbits and roaches.

Simply awful.  

Yesterday we had a mixed bag.

Today, that bag carries nothing good for us.

On the morrow - Well, we had better search for a fresh new bag, untainted by what came before.
