Thoughts

Paying attention to the news is both exhausting and depressing. Covid, medieval Afghan thugs, medieval Republican thugs, Manchin and Sinema, increasing climate disasters, and so, so much more.

I suppose there are a couple of bright spots like Biden's Herculean effort to evacuate Afghans in peril, and Nancy Pelosi's ability to pull together the Democratic caucus. But for the most part, the world, at the moment, seems to be mostly doom and gloom.

Do you suppose humanity is a mistake? If some sort of "Supreme Being" exists, would He/She/It have created this? And if there is no supreme universal intelligence, are we just random atoms floating around in an indifferent vacuum? (Full disclosure: I'm a devout agnostic.)

Yesterday evening, I had a couple of drinks, turned off the TV and sat around for a while wondering if "God" was some kind of eternal version of Donald Trump. Then I picked up a good book I've been reading and escaped into a comfortable parallel universe.

Devout agnostic? Then why bring up God??? Guess God suits you only when it comes to punishing Trump,

"CURSE YOU, GOD! WHY DOESN'T THE WORLD WORK EXACTLY LIKE I WANT IT TO?!?!"

Because there are 7 billion other people who think and act just like you do.

The fact the DUmmie ponders that pleases me.  Just think, cyrano will spend his WHOLE life knowing when he dies he will spend eternity with Donald Trump.  For him a terrifying prospect which makes me smile even more.

It also means God agrees with Donald Trump in all things.  Or the other way around?  Either way, bad for DUmmies.

Did Cyanose's word side salad have a point?

Times are tough, listening to the news? Tell it to the starving people of NoKo, victims of Kim II's and Kim III's policies. Tell it to the Vietnamese Boat people. Tell it to the people of the Killing Fields. Tell it to the victim's of Mao's Cultural Revolution, Tell it to those who starved due to Mao's Great Leap Forward. Tell it to the victims of Khrushchev's agricultural experiments. Tell it the people of Stalins and Lenin's Gulags. Tell it to the Jews, Romani, and etc. who died in Hitler's concentration camps. Tell it to the Ukrainians who died in Stalin's Holodomor. Tell it to the "Kulaks" purged by Stalin.

Cyanose is a self-absorbed ass.

That's pretty much it. Everything has to be their way.

1. I too have been questioning the nature and future of humanity.

It appears humans have not evolved much since medieval times.

Man's ruthless aggressive pursuit of power, control and wealth may have helped the species survive short term. But it doesn't appear to be a good strategy for long term survival of humans.

It doesn't matter if we are God created or random atoms. Either way we are flunking the test.

The test of morality or the test of survival of the species.

PS. I had to take a news break. Only watch fun TV shows or movies.

And just read the news here on DU. It is helping a lot.

If we're just random atoms how can there be morality, let alone a test of it? If we were never meant to be here - only an accident - then our survival is as inconsequential as our beginning.

The universe is primarily waste and its fate is absolute ruin for spans that far exceed our flashing collective existence.
