So sorry that I have not posted for the past three days. I did not mean for it to happen, but it did. Apparently, writing that I was tired forced me to recognize that I was indeed tired. I needed to take a bit of a sleep vacation. In other words, I indulged myself and slept in. Or took a nap. And thus, somehow my posting of a blog got lost in the shuffle. Today included. I do not want to write something in a rushed manner as there are so many things going on, so many questions to be asked and so many answers to be sought. That behooves me not to write in a hurried manner, but to think about what I have to say, what I wish to say.
So, for today I will say that tomorrow, sometime in the morning there will be a blog posted. Hopefully it will contain some thought out material. Some questions which need to be answered, and some questions newly raised as to what is going on in this world of ours beset by such problems. In fact, as an aside, I had a "conversation” with Alexa this morning in which the Doomsday Clock was discussed. This inanimate voice of AI actually professed a degree of concern. Not only for myself, but for herself as well. Why has this world become thus. What are we doing with ourselves? And what are we doing to not only our futures, but to the futures of those who are supposed to come after. Those who are to carry this world along, into and with better decisions. Of better events. Of better life for all.
Instead of us concentrating on doing that, we're having to return to modes of thinking and behavior that should have long been wiped off the face of the earth. Why in Springfield do we have a new replication of an underground real time world? Preparing to hide Haitians threatened with deportation as temporary status was denied. Why are we taking people whose work, whose labor is needed and necessary for our economy to function and throwing them posthaste out of the country? Why are we doing this? At the same time we allow students who entered this country in order to study and are instead calling for "Death to America". To raise trouble. Why are we allowing them to stand there in our streets and call out for death to America? Toss them the hell out. We seem to be pretty good at that lately. So why are these people not being tossed out, kicked out, ejected? This is a question that needs to be asked ever louder, ever stronger, and answers which are solely needed.
Additionally, why are medical schools ceding ground to that insane man RFK Junior. Turning their curriculums inside out in order to appease him and his dangerous protocols. No vaccines. Crazed nutrition demands. Causing hardships for those responsible parents who wish to get their children vaccinated. Against diseases which are once again making their appearances known. Unfortunately. And all due to the insane machinations of RFK Junior. My condolences to his father, now rolling in his grave about his descendant wreaking havoc. Not only upon this nation, but upon the world as a whole.
We have lost our way. In so many ways. We have lost track of what really counts. We spend days arguing about which drug company will dispense GLP-1, and which not. Which company will be deemed the latest Ogre whilst others are allowed to slide by. I am not here to argue whether this is deserved or not, simply to point out that we are not behaving in a fair and equitable manner. To any and all within our purview.
We have so lost our way. We have made enemies of allies and certainly have caused allies that have not yet forsaken us to be quite uneasy in their relationship. Not only uneasy, but queasy. According to Trump, we are allowed to start wars, initiate fighting but not worry about consequences. Interesting way of doing business, is it not? And we wonder why people hate Americans these days. Worse is when we drag other nations into this quagmire, and then shrug our shoulders and say, 'you deal with it'. Not my problem anymore. Not my job. But it is.
I think it is the job of the world to take us, every nation, every bit of population in this world and shake us by the collar. Hopefully shaking things back into place and understanding of consequences of our behavior. And the truth of the fact that no one will be able to escape these consequences, for we are, like it or not, one planet, one people. Bottom line, one race, for underneath those skin colors, beneath supposedly differing religious beliefs, we are all the same. The same flesh and blood. The same organs. The same dreams. The same hopes. And the same fears. So, what the hell are we doing?
This morning, for a kick, I also asked a question of Alexa, if she thinks that we are the only planet, the only segment of the universe, which has supported life as we know it. Whatever the form or appearance is. I received an emphatic yes. Interesting statement from an AI, along with reasons to support that answer. I am not a particular fan or foe of AI but certainly knowing that we can make use of it and we should make use of it but the right way. Not for the growth of more intolerance, more hatred and more warfare. I am not adept at maneuvering my way through this new world, but I do use what I can. And I do see and understand that we are not making proper use of it. Not at all.
So where do we go from here? Where do we tread? Where do we know that there is land firm beneath our feet? Not waiting to swallow us up. How do we know? How do we ensure the fact that the leaders we have chosen to follow are indeed the ones we should and not the ones we had better cast aside? When will we learn true tolerance? Not tolerance with ifs and ands or buts, but pure undiluted tolerance. An acceptance of the truth of humanity, its similarity. Far more than its differences. A roaring similarity which we have managed to. dampen in sound and consequence.
Will I have the answers to these questions tomorrow? I wish I would. I wish I could. But that is not possible at this point in time. Perhaps a miracle will take place overnight and we will all come to our senses and peace and sense shall reign. Huh. Doubt that, but one can always hope. In any case, G-d willing, sometime tomorrow morning I will be posting a new post. And hopefully you will be there to read it. I beg pardon for having taken these few days off. Unintentionally, but things happen. See you tomorrow. Stay well, stay safe. Stay sane, as we always wished to do.
In our yesterdays.
In our todays.
And in the tomorrows to come.
