I am avoiding watching TV. It is so painful and I don't have that kind of loooong suffering talent. I have spent a lot of my time meditating. Meditation is not going: :ahummmmmmm". Meditation for me is opening my mind-field for battle between opposing point of views and I am the referee (the judge). I ask first a question like: "what happened?", "what went wrong?" and throw that to the battlefield. Reasoning, common sense, history; all of those come to have a conference and try to come with answers. This is different from a husband and wife situation. When she throws at you a problems she is suffering over it, it will be a sin to come with an answer...all she wants is your support and that you are just listening and understanding. Well, I am coming to better understanding of where things went wrong. In my assessment I never leave the "Bible" out when I am trying to figure out something. The Industrial Revolution $$$$$$ changed our agrarian society (natural good and free community living) for a synthetic one. Nothing is wrong with the free market society. That was what we lost for "crony capitalism".
What do these have anything to do with what is happening today? A lot. The re-engineering of society (progressivism) benefited big companies against the small businesses and money took priority over many more important things in society. Our soils became damaged because big companies were interested in money much more than selling healthy products. One of the results was a deficiency of zinc in many people. The deficiency had become so chronic in our days it is affecting the mental health of especially the youngsters and the seniors.The re-engineering of society caused that many women had to abandoned their well appreciated nurturing of their children for more money in the household.
The ingenuity of the people was substituted for the non-sense of politicians. That is why we need to bring down Washington. They keep trying to bring their phony solutions that is just making things worse. They bought much of our freedom and paid us with a little bit of security. They had created all the mess and they blame other things in order for us to take our eyes from them. Well, we can create our own security. We are not secured anyway. Not that I want to be one hundred percent. If we feel secured then we stop the search for ingenuity. The more people that feel secured the more static we become and innovation will stopped.
