3rd of November

Right a new job would be good also. My last one seems to have gone indefenitely.

Felt so happy when I found it.

Pretty much done all the work for nothing one more time.

Still not sure if I will not have to be back at Miss Merkle's mercy if those lock downs continue.

Like a whole industry is going extinct...not just life the way we knew it.

But on the upside we will all be eligeable to have our DNA adjusted soon...if that is not great news.

Well whatever as long as they do not make me glow in the dark (anymore than I already do....naturally)...?!

Well if after all it is time to put a cap to freedoms and liberties. That might seem to be a point to start with.

Meddling with natural selection...was that not exactly the reason why it was made by nature to be unmeddable (probably not a real word) with...

If it was for me I would not trust anybody with a choice that was never ment to be chosen.

It is probably just me...

Really I so lost the plot at some point, somewhere there where it does really not make sense (to me) no more! All it is that people want...

Bigger Bs in every way: Bags, Balls, Brains, Bombs and Buildings. Bites, Bumpers, Beers and Bellies...bigger Bollocks...bigger Bucks?

A different sex or more of it, another life, bluer eyes (beacause as we all know the grass is always greener...)?

More money, more rubbish that nobody really needs in the end?

And still... not even the "on-click-availability" of everything does satisfy the need for yet more choices. Not that there is already to many causing a sense of general confusion in the 1st place.

Really I have become such a misanthrope recently.

If I look at what people do with all those wonderful possibilities life (even if it is not perfect) has to offer....what have they truely done with all the freedom they have.

Were/Was the origins/the concept not so simple and uncomplicated?

Be tolerant,.... treat everybody the way you like to be treated yourself,....and whoever is without fault may throw the first stone.

Accept that my freedom stops where another person's freedom starts.

Meaning we are all somehow in the same boat...

And we all have a right to (be in) it, whatever our opinion.

And this is then probably exactly ...how THAT came to be.

Ship of Fools

(Rolf Hamacher 2020)

Thank you for letting me put this up. Thought it really suits the context. It is such a fitting extension to my own thoughts.

But then it is as confusing with opinions as it is with choices these days, as to many think that just by having one (an opinion)...they also have the right to own the (tricksy) truth.

Like somehow recently nobody seems to understand the difference between truth and faith/believe no more.

It seems more like there is only one truth the spoken or personal truth (my faith, what I believe or my opinion), that seems to be replacing the actual/factual truth.

Are they not somehow two completely different principles? Was what I thought.

Distinguishing one (the truth) from the other by being grounded in reality, proven by facts.

Still personal, social and multi-media platforms though make it all look so officially accredited whatever department something originates from really.

It is scary what people do believe as long as they see it on screen  (probably more than in the papers), particularly if a lot of other people (followers) do the same.

And actually no problem with that people have always been talking...good for them.

But...if then on the other side:

One is not even allowed to say black or white no more just to guarentee everybodies eqaulity once there is a real discussion, conversation or debate ...I think something has gone seriously wrong somewhere.

What a contradiction all our democratic liberties have become.

Where did it start that things have become so awfully screwed up?

Probably where fundamental truths have become exchangeable with what is just an opinion or believe.

That everybody considers the ultimate. Whatever goes beyond is then not an opportunity to eventually broaden one's horizon but a threat that has the potential to expose our vulnerable own little reality.

Resulting in people being so easily offended these days...it is almost unbelieveable.

It almost feels like all it has come down to is:

"If I am hurt about something it means you are wrong / center of the universe self importance." (David Starkey)

and

"Alles ausser Lob gilt heutzutage schon als strukturelle Gewalt" (Dieter Nuhr, German Comedian)

... meaning as much as "Whatever is not praise is considered a violent offense or assault."

Somehow I thought that freedom was more of a responsibility and not a self given right or a free ticket to get pissed and party one's p-brains out at every given occasion.

More than an entitlement to claim the right to be right.

An obligation to maybe at least consider(try to) the possibility of not just one/my/the only truth (faith/believes is probably a better way of putting it), but many other versions around.

So if it is bound (freedom) to bite it's own back.... as who is to draw the line... in this "free" society, as always all will have to suffer... when some/few do overstep it...or draw it !?...

... one thing is for sure...in the end ....we will all go down together.

Amen and three Hallelujas....gosh I  wish I had not started this. It is all so complex and interwoven.....and I seem to go in circles trying to get a grip on it.....but then I get the feeling I am not the only one.

28th of November

I knew I was not finished with this.

What about, the sometimes all to thin line, (if it has not already been as liquidised,  as all the other matters that matter in this world....)

....between factual faith and factual fake...

(Yeah fake facts...because If there is gender fluid  "being fact fluid" pretty much for sure will become the next big thing?)

Maybe this is just taking it one step to far.

Maybe just liquidise the whole thing... exactly what I will do right now...

In vino veritas ...after all!!
