It Ain't Easy Being a Human Being...

It is true. We learn shit, you know, lessons in life. Primarily through experience. Or maybe by listening to someone else, maybe someone we trust, tell us about their experience. Or, you know reading; History, Speeches, Novels, Plays, Poems, Songs. Humans writing about what it means to be Human. There are arguments, contradictions, falsities, & half-truths, or maybe, in a more forgiving mind, imaginary dreams & visions.

We are also swamped with madness; lies, intentional disinformation, unreason, lunacies & stupidities. There are Humans out there who want to mislead, coerce, defeat & hurt us. It's just true. How to wade through it all, and make sense of any of it? I think we can easily get lost or misplaced, or confused, or self-sabotaging. We are very mallable, & fungible, and life is "time-sensitive."

Not sure the best way to navigate it all. One step, one word, one thought, one day at a time. What's real? What's true? What is clarity? And intelligence? I think we all need to work at being real and in the moment and to do the best we can at all times. You know, the trick is to "do the right thing." Which should be easy & obvious, but surprisingly often isn't. You can follow your head, your heart, your gut, but sometimes they truly do lead you astray. There is no guide-book, or sure-fire strategy. Sometimes your own experience can be a trap & prison of the mind. Feelings can be misleading & deadly. Sometimes, it's all a bit foggy and nebulous, and it is not always easy to see that which is right in front of one's nose.  We are all looking through a glass darkly. It just ain't easy being a Human Being.
