A premise is a terrible thing to waste, or a waste is a terrible thing to mind, yet, either way, the train maybe falls off the tracks, or someone is inclined to push someone onto the tracks in front of an oncoming Subway, and not the one Jared found himself feasting on to lose some weight a few years ago.
We who sit reluctantly or by choice while the events of the present unfold, gathering the bits and pieces of concerns of our fellow participants involved with the revolutions or evolutions we so generously call a life, wishing, I suppose that we had one, are always free with our suggestions or implications, I suppose, of where do we go from here.
Generally or compellingly I sequester those emotional and incoherent brainwaves that tend to incite fervor or it's nearest relative, a conscience, to expel some rumors or misaligned dogmas or just planned obsolescence so I can somehow wake those long forgotten memories of "Those were the good old days..." and to remind us that if that is all there is, then let's begin.
Okay, somewhere in time, whether it be the establishment of what we so loosely call Democracy, or down the line, the peevish concept of a middle class as opposed to dictatorships or Theocracies made their way into the mediocrity of our consciousness, and now, since they only hold out a distant thunder of every succeeding in their grand themes, we do have the opportunities to change our course, starting Now.
This idea of supporting the ways of government, who by the way, is suppose to be supporting us, is pure and simply poppycock. Sure if you want to say devote or make your life's work helping other people confront and deal with their circumstance or fate, so be it, but like any other profession you indulge in, do it because you want to, not because you have to, or in your own mind, are being forced into. Like myself, I was a vagabond for years, and instead of paying to learn something in a classroom, I went out and learned about things I wanted to create or be involved with and got paid to do so. This was in response to my brother dying in someplace other than his comfort zone that he had grown up in, though it was in an effort to fulfill one of his maligned sense of duty to his own state of mind. If, I said to myself, one can be so gratuitous, so could I, but in my servitude to those whims, I tried to be less of a burden on society, and more of a burden to myself. It wasn't until it wasn't fulfilling my personal prophecies of commitment or success that I changed direction and pursued other inclinations. Now that I have reached a pinnacle sometimes reached by chronological age, or by having fulfilled most of my attempts at personal endeavors that I am capable of letting the next generation of pupils of life do the same journeys by being supportive of their initiatives by doing those things that others consider to some degrees the tail end of the wagging Dog.
The same is true of any or All of the global communities that share this particular form of consciousness. Everyone, in some segment of their lives can do a variety of both satisfying and that feeling of accomplishment employment, and then be supportive by doing the dirty deeds done dirt cheap, so others can participate in expressing their own creative energy on their environment. As a child, the family gives you support, or the educational community of your choice gives you support, or your faith community gives you support, or the neighborhood or gathered friends give you support. When you become older, you return to this wonderful place where others donate their time and effort to make you feel wanted and desired. In between these two states of mind or life shall we say, you are responsible to be the support for the young and the old. Just be aware that this is your duty or responsibility as a member of society, whether or not that you like it.
Some of us took on this type of responsibility early in life, feeling as if it was a calling. As a functioning member of society, you may do this unwittingly, or you may do it reluctantly, and grimace in pain and yet it is all there for you to see. In this train of thought, this idea of collectivity or connectivity, while you are processing and dealing with your own individual thoughts, seems to have broken down with some of the recent occurrences being brought to us regularly through the massive social media, including simply put, 24 hour a day news cycles.
These historical pastimes of cultural upheavals have been there for eons, and yet we presume or assume that it is in someway only for the whites of our eyes to see in our presence of minds. There has always been layers of society, and minorities and women who have been subjugated, and lots of people who have been made fun of, or bullied or those mentally or physically challenged to be neglected or pushed out of the mainstream, and then those so inclined or so maligned to push back against the "MACHINE", so don't dwell on how significant the signs of global warming or violent outcomes to uncomplicated problems when they show up to wake us up from our day to day doldrums collide head-on into our awareness.
Kicking the can down the line in time is a favorite pastime but knowing when to let the thoughts that what goes up must come down, spinning wheel got to go round, talking about your troubles, though you never learn, is not a problem solving way to confront such anomalies, if they were ever anomalies to begin with. Instead maybe if we become aware of the fact of these challenges occur because of the choices we made in passing the buck, and facing them head on with everyone in mind, maybe what some of us refer to as solutions, then maybe we wouldn't have to continue the ongoing onslaughts of death defying leaps off of some inane cliffs that we ourselves from neglect created to experience so often. Give everyone a chance to be creative and a force in this Gestalt of Consciousness we created to either evolve into or ascend up to..... I am after all just parlaying a smattering of incoherent and often times diabolical rhetoric in order to peruse on incite your mind into action, hopefully forcing you to step down off your soapbox and becoming your own strawberry in a bowl of peas....Me again

Who Knew
Sometime between the twinkling of my eyes heading into what would be a full night of different dreams including playing a little ping-pong, and talking with my father during some holiday celebration that was not involving Santa Claus and some end of days consternation, I had thoughts of a long and often twisted diatribe of unknown perimeters.
By the time I found myself behind the keyboard in front of the monitor, I cautiously thought maybe it would be a waste of time, but seeing as the weather outside is still malingering around stopping me from pruning a few more fruit trees, I am compelled to perform a few less stringent dances about the condition my condition is in.
I can say since my teenage years this idea that Thomas More had about Utopia leeched into my brain and convinced me as far as the ability to produce this type of misanthropic notion was within the realm of what we call Human Existence. Human existence in my mind took in what we refer to as consciousness. This means the ability to reflect, to think about what just happened, and to look forward into unclaimed territory, what we would call the future. Now I am well aware that when more than one Human is in the room, there can be disagreements, and maybe even conflict, or consternation for that matter.
Yet in all my experiments into extrapolation I have found that there are solutions to any challenge or quagmire. I am also aware that the forces of nature conclude that for balance to take place such as the Ying and Yang principles, and for that simple oddity that for every action there is a reaction, that for every positive existence there is an opposite negative existence. That does not in anyway proclaim that with our ability to reflect on these occurrences that we have to always conclude that those things are necessarily bad or evil. We spend so much time talking rather than just accepting that these are going to be around in the form of consciousness we have chosen to experience that we stand around sulking or pointing at one another as if that is somehow a solution to the previous event that just occurred. Good luck with that one my friends.
Social media has interrupted our ability to be involved with making the attitude changes we need to in order to temporarily change our direction and focus until the next event occurs to give us more challenges to meet. We are always going to have challenges to meet, and sometimes they are going to come quick and steady and we just have to realize to accept them and deal with them as they pop up now and again. Each time we can try something different in order to possess some type of clarity and different outcome, but nonetheless this is how we have chosen to experience this form of consciousness. Now here is where the commitment changes and the direction of my diatribe begins to waver into "Go ask Alice when she's Ten Feet Tall, or the Pills that mother gives you don't do anything At All.
We are not at a crossroads, though we do have many paths to take as Robert Frost once lamented. It is possible to achieve community where we are all concerned about one another. We don't need to exist in this cold hearted world where the imbalance of mother nature and the imbalance of fiscal policies find ourselves in a Thelma and Louise moment. It is unforgivable that most of us must perform and act out our lives in day to day permutations when those who seemingly are supposed to be role models and the keepers of the so-called Gate stand around in Glow in the Light jackets and lean on their proverbial rakes and pitchforks.
There is social injustice around the globe all from this concept that you can't feed, clothe and house all of people that find themselves glued either to the past, or yearning for the future. If you give them what they want NOW, then what occurs after that will be a better impression of what is to be. It is not this idea of more taxes or spending less, when it is totally unnecessary for this lame idea of money co-exists with our sensibilities concerning proliferation of equality. There will never be equality because each one of us contains our own uniqueness and how we express that in our external world will be different so at times others will see those differences as a threat. Get over yourselves. Diversity, if you haven't noticed, is the way Mother Nature Rolls.
If everyone had a job, not a paycheck, and they could go out and purchase anything they wanted in order to display their individual uniqueness, then all these bloody scenes we keep being subjected to wouldn't be happening to the degree we seem to be experiencing, and they wouldn't need to be splashed across some social medium screen to exacerbate and blow out of proportion any of the initial reaction to any given situation. One small step, one giant leap for mankind to assess and accept the challenge, and God forbid, solve one crisis at the moment of impact and worry our little perfunctory minds about future ones later.
The money we spend on government jobs, providing government workers a decent salary and pension, with COLA's to follow is bigger than most of the problems we face as far as fiscal policy goes. These jobs do not produce a product, they don't make any money, so they have to be paid for by people who work for companies that make products that produce income by taxing those incomes. Well, if the materials are there, and the products are being made and sold, and the packaging and distribution necessary to bring those products to the global markets are there, then why does the idea of exchange of some currency have to be part of this particular cycle. Why can't all of these forms of commerce just take place naturally, giving everyone the ability to express their own uniqueness and perform their resposibilities as a day to day function as a part of this particular cycle.
This takes in the idea that everyone can be what they want to be, and as far as reality goes, believe it or not, without the concept of money, the Universe would unfold just the way it was suppose to. We have, in other words, lingered and become addicted to the idea of money as a way to achieve success. We do the things we want to do anyway, living on credit, living above our means, so we can feel empowered and self-reliant, and we suddenly wonder when mental health and feelings of inequality take a sudden disastrous expression to shock our senses in an attempt to bring us to our senses. Laugh if you will, but Climate Change and Mother Nature's response to our inappropriate behavior and lack of existing side by side to all the other inhabitants and forms of consciousness that we have created in our own minds is just the beginning as we meet the exponential challenges that we have set in motion.
Lately I have heard just go home and hug your family, whether it be in response to another event, or the inability to secure meaningful employment and the idea of Healthcare being out of control, putting off a lot of people's decisions to give themselves even some increments of preventative solutions, shortening their lifetimes by decades. Community, charity work and being involved with those around you, sharing and helping them through the hard times is a closer approximation to solving some of these, what we call disasterous outcomes, from occurring in the first place, and when it doesn't, just deal with the initial challenges, and look forward to the ones to come, and just realize that this is the way realities, and the Universe rolls, and go with the flow of consciousness in all it's beautiful inclinations and outcomes.
This doesn't even begin to fulfill my desire to wake you all up and get you off your butts solving what little nuances that have you all up in arms, but for now, I must bid you farewell and hope that sending these few words out into the Universe, helps you with any complaints you have, so the world we live in will be more seemingly cooperative for all of you, and again as my friend Paul says..."Think about It".........Me
