      I know. It’s hard, but doable. It took me a lot of shit to get there, but it is possible. And it’s a constant fight. It beat me down bad, but not nearly as bad as others. Same for all of us. The answers escape me tbh. I don’t know if there really is a cure for suffering. I’m starting to think it’s just our biology, and this is just how it is. But I’m trying, and I guess that is what life is. (:

        I think the main part biology plays is how fragile we are and that we aren’t built to generate profit (certainly not infinite growth for someone else).

        The rest is just how many barriers there are, and the greed of the few that has been shaping things before our days (relatively recently for humanity, though). In many cases it’s not even an explicitly devious thing, but just something somebody thought was a good(/profitable) idea 40+ years ago that is now deeply entrenched in how people think.

          I agree. But that innate creation is of our own biology. It’s a cycle. And people seeking out power is not a new thing. People have been suffering at the whims of others since the dawn.

          I think the mind is a powerful thing, more than we let on. I also think being conscious is sort of an unnatural state, if you will. At least how most people perceive their own. We are kind of out of touch with ourselves. That is most likely by design at this point. We have an unnecessary middle man, money, which we pray to, instead of ourselves. And it fucks it all up. Now add over population…jeez

          I dont think there is a right answer. That’s our plight. We are on a slow crawl as a species up the evolutionary ladder or bust, but we’re figuring stuff out too late to fit everyone on the ark.

          I don’t really have a point, I just felt like thinking. I always leaned more spiritual than anything. I’m more active now than I have been, but my thoughts always end up coming out like nothing, as if i put obvious under a microscope. I guess that’s the point. Lol oh jeez.
