Destiny cannot be escaped!


Hello dear reader.... and probably it is "reader" in the singular quite literally.
There may not be many reading this these days, but I'll keep writing as if there are.
Anyway... the topic for this post is the way people deal with what seems to me logical conclusions & consequences.

One of the things I will never understand is why more often than not people will tend to believe that the worst will not happen, when the worst is happening all around the world every second, and has been as long as there have been people












Think of the person waiting for the results of their recent medical checkup... and horrors the prognosis is not good... and this person immediately say to himself or outlet..."why me?", "why me?" Maybe they smoke too mush, or drank too much it doesn't matter they could be a total health nut that treats the body like a temple... the answer to the question ... "why me?"is... "Why the Fuji not you!"
Then there is the person that spends life cutting corners taking the easy way and then when the inevitable reckoning comes it all "What did I do to deserve this?"
Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying that everything that happens to people is deserved, it's just that most could be expect.
Take my first example... Smoking, drinking, and the like lead to a well known conclusion, so each time you take a drag on that smoke, you should realize that it maybe leading you to an early grave. (oh ... not for nothing but I feel I should say I am a smoker)
Then there are the social dilemmas that can be predicted ... but somehow sneak under the radar.
Like why don't my children have any respect for me?
Well since you've made no attempt to explain to them why there must be bounderies and such,
of course there will be a train wreck.
As sure as there is a sunset every evening.

Take Me Away!

Theres always a lot of talk about what we deserve... or don't deserve much "damn... I didn't deserve that" or "What did I do to deserve this?" But I think the real point lies in the idea that for some reason we tend to believe that the universe (for lack of a better term) has some interest in what happens to us. I mean does the universe still sob over the fate of the dinosaurs? Does it ponder still over the fates of the many we have all lost? If I trip and fall in the path of an oncoming tram will the universe, god, buddha or the tooth fairy send a card to my mom to say " That was just fucked up what happened to your boy... we all regret it and hope you get over it soon." I think not. The fact is that in the grand scheme none of us matter much ... and that's ok. Because we never did. I wonder when mankind got the idea that we are the lynch pin of the universe? Sure for a long time we believed we were the centre of it all but that was pure igno...

Human suffering

Why does is so much time on TV and in Film devoted to human suffering? Don't get me wrong We need to know when our fellow humans are in distress... But to just observe these horrors and not help is just wrong. To actually help should be the goal behind showing these things... Not charity, or sympathy but involvement. How can it be justified by news agencies to spend millions upon millions to "cover" a horrible event and nothing to help? Let's just put away that notion of "journalistic integrity" if it ever existed at all it is surely long dead now. News bringer have long ago crossed the line and become news makers, so why not do some good? Not theoretical good but real good... I mean they are there at the scene, with little to do but rehash a story over and over. As for film... We all know that the budget for one "blockbuster" film could solve a lot of the world's problems. You say they are helping ... Through their story telling? Well that w...
