Happy New Year From the Ship of Fools

New Year! What a crock of sh**t. No one is interested in the slightest in taking a close look at their ongoing situation. Like dumb rats they follow each other over the cliff, following the pied piper of self interest. They invest in illusion creating relationships with temporary meanings which vanish into the mists of time immediately the body is finished. The 100 year span allotted comes and goes in a blink of self absorption that blinds any attempt at analysis of the situation that unfolds right before their noses. No one asks, "What is going on here? Who is really in control? Why all these species of life coming and going? Why some suffer while others enjoy? Why the huge diversity of the creation?" The penny fails to drop: diversity of species, destiny, work, alliances, tastes... it all has to do with desire upon desire upon desire stretching back to time immemorial. Why, if everyone is equal (as we are on the spiritual platform), do we start off with varying handicaps? Why do the innocent suffer and die? Why do we get bad even when we do good? Like dumb animals no one asks, no one cares. All caught like hares in the headlights. Splat!
