Maybe so.
And if we do finally hit bottom, collectively slimed, disheartened and diminished, maybe we discover to our delight, that we can rebound, we can swim up to the surface where there is fresh air, golden light, good cheer, sweet kindness, bold love, and a decent chance for a better life?
Maybe truth and transparency (see previous post), can help us realize our wishes for a better day? Let the loud, no-nothing, corrupt, stupid ones fall as far as they can fall; maybe, just maybe, gravity, consequence, the rule of law, common sense, karma, responsibility, all things good and right, will finally come knocking.
"Wouldn't that be nice?" Yes.
Justice. Happiness. Equality. Fraternity. Hope. Wonder. Things working out.
That would be very nice, indeed.
