A Bit of Thinking on the World of Consequences

 

We know everything we need to know, we live and we die. Everything else is indulgent. 

I say this because I feel it may be a waste of time to think otherwise. We wake up everyday the same. As people, not the same because we learn and grow, make mistakes and make corrections, change our hair, change our job, change our location, but we can't change our skin, bones or blood. Unless we survive a horrible accident in which the surgeons had to skin graft new skin and do a blood transfusion. And all this for our outward appearance. The things that are easier to change are on the inside. Our knowledge, our hearts, our perception of who we are in the world.

But it is in the world. The external world is all around us. When we go to sleep and wake up it is in the external materialistic world. A world full of trees, rocks, bugs, animals, and other nature side by side with the world we have built for ourselves. The world of buildings, roads, houses, huts, factories, cars, mills, trains, and semi-trucks not to mention other people and their emotional turmoil. The world of consequences. 

This world of consequences is where we can die. Where a car crash can leave us dead. A tree can fall and destroy our home. Too much rain can flood our town and we can drown. The external world where we have to go and make a living. Do a job to have money because that is also apart of the world we have built for ourselves. The world of money, economy, politics and war.

These are the things we have to worry about everyday. Not if the world is a mirage, or a simulation, or if it is even real or not, because it feels pretty real to me.

A place where people say to live your best life, but also fear the unknown. A place where the best things in life should be free, but aren't and the things that are ruin your day like rain at a picnic. And so the people cry never thinking for a moment that they didn't pay a thing, because if they did, they would pay for sunshine and let the world dry up and die, because we don't owe nature a thing.

That nature that brought us to life. How I think many people inside their hearts and minds hidden away from the conscious selves condemn the day are ancestors became human. It would of been easier to stay animals. I wonder if they tried, but intelligence was too much for them to hide away from and thus the wheel was born forever leading us into the future where we are right now together. 

A place where many want to stay while others want to run far away to a place that is today for some, but is yesterday for them and others want farther ahead on the surface of Mars married to a robot named Irene-867-9 who uploaded their new software Shitake 15.7 this morning with new and improved sexual performance that have kept the two of you in bed all morning. That place WE will never be, that place YOUR children may never be, and THEIR grandchildren have a chance if we don't all die before the year 2084.

I realize this has gotten Sci-Fi, but it all happened in the external materialistic world I mentioned before. That world where climate change is real, for better or for worse, yet people would rather solve the puzzle of the universe rather than educate the undereducated on the fact that we owe nature everything, and the more we believe we don't and our true alliance belongs to 1's and 0's that never show themselves to us, is dumb. 

Yet as I said, we can learn and grow. It's not too late to bring back our focus on the world of consequences, OUR world, the one where we live, the one that we created, the one that we molded into our image and no one else's. A world that would be easy to say, "We found gold on Mars and it will pay for everything." Because that's what half of this all is, Make Believe.

Money serves important functions for motivation and progress. But you can't force life to be born then deny it the essential needs it has to have to survive: Food, Shelter and Health Care. It's like saying, "Land of the Free! Except for all these rules and regulations you have to follow because we said so or were paid to say so." Fascism and Corrupt Capitalism: There's no freedom in that.

No wonder why we wish for more supernatural events to occur to save us from ourselves. To return us to our animal state of murder and mayhem with disregard to moral obligation, conscious guilt or empathy. Just as people wrote the Bible, they will also write The End of society. Of us? Who knows, but as long as the world of consequences exists, we will all be gone one day. So do as they say and live your best life without worrying what history will say, because it to will be long gone into the void of decay.
