It’s a long hard road with a lot of work within, which never begins until you let go of the comfortable lie of modernity. Those you think are your enemies are full pro on this power thing. The damn shame is, the greater enemy are those who will play your “sides” against one and other, though we all have our issues.
I hope this war ends soon favorably for the Ukrainians. Trump is tacking this down as a tough business deal. Different kind of war than Zelensky’s experience. They could get fleeced.
In your mind you were just comfy and now you notice virtue is collapsing somewhere in the world. The war isn’t where the bombs drop, it is everywhere this damn mechanation of power presses upon us. Which for modernity is by umbilical.
If you cannot see what I mean for yourself, just do extra sit-ups and pushups and don’t be the slob when the yolk of civilization falls upon you and yours.
This deserved a more dignified answer, I’m not trying to troll.
It is like watching a car crash in slow motion, wondering why everyone doesn’t take sensible road safety into consideration, and for the other guy (usually) shit is just happening.
I guess the world comes down to those who see we are intrinsically beset by our own worst enemy, ourselves; and those who look (rightly in some situations) to the blameful others. And that’s a sad shit storm founded upon a recipe of mass delusion in the populous mind.
You may be looking for too clear an explanation.
Lack of generational seriousness about power in this world is one complaint with your tone. You’re the armchair critic of good faith gone wrong. (Slight trolling there).
I know you certainly aren’t “the problem”, you’re a noble heart, I feel you. You aren’t the solution either. You don’t have the mettle in you to even understand the problem, let alone the solution.
