A recipe for disaster.
Almost universal belief in some form of superior metaphysical being watching over undeserving minions, taking care of them as long as they obey the rules.
A cosmic joke.
Good luck to anyone who can see through all the B.S.
It's laugh or cry.
As I typed this there was a big earthquake tremor here in Chch, my dog leapt up and came to me for comfort.
I felt that too - hope its not all going to start again dammit.
And yes - the older I get the more I think we're all idiots. Starting wars at the drop of a hat, sending boys (& girls now too) out to kill or be killed while the arms manufacturers make a mint. Making differences between each other & fighting about them, allowing a few to grab most of the wealth while millions starve or go without rather than having the intelligence & compassion to do better.
And believing that its all the way their god wants it - idiots, fools we are.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
