THINKING OUT LAUD.

I kinda don't even know where to start this.

I keep thinking, as I round third, - which I never saw myself as doing as I never saw myself as an older man, that somehow my lifetime was this world’s human's opportunity to evolve and freely feed, clothe, water, and protect each other, rather than wage war.

What an arrogant sense of being. That I’d think “OK, 65 years to get this shid right since *I’ve* been watching, World, so GO...” What a dork.

It’s a wide-eyed, immature, self-centered toddler-like way of seeing the timeline of the world that I never grew out of. Quaint and cute in one way maybe, but dangerously myopic in others, leading to some insane surreality and maybe even depression once one sees the folly of hoping for some utopic (made that word up), paradisal (that’s a real word) place of being. As long as I can remember, it was my way of doing my day-to-day, protecting myself in an abusive house, dealing with the idea of my ultimate demise while still hoping, wishing for, fostering, and making for myself a great place on earth right now and here.

Religious friends and family, a lot of them, seem to have a great hereafter to hang on to once they’re done with the Big Green Ball, and Great Books telling them to do the best they can here and it’ll be great over there. I guess that’s ok. I hope there’s an "over there" or "up there" only because I’m sure that's where my dogs are.

The above is my justification for saying this: “I’ll never understand war and power, any belief that leads to those two things, and, with all we are capable of, how anyone in this world could possibly be hungry, thirsty, or broken from the actions of another whole group of people”.

I never got it. I never will. Bless us all. Thanks for listening. xovg
