A World Gone Wrong, Totally Out of Our Control...

Folk #1: Another maddening reality we deal with day to day. My partner & I have a tendency to want to solve problems. We see a World Gone Wrong, and we try to come up with creative solutions to all the "wrongness," we see everywhere. We spend lots of our time discussing events in the world, trying understand "what's happening," and trying to come up with creative ways to fix or solve these most likely unsolvable problems. Or maybe the problems aren't totally unsolvable, but solving or fixing them would require great collective action from vast quantities of humans.  Collective action well beyond our own personal capabilities. You know it's a World Gone Wrong ,Totally & Out Of Our Control. So the talking and solving is just a sort of fruitless game we play with our own brains. It's not a very satisfying game, often it's frustrating & disheartening. I suppose, at least we are using our brain power, exercising our thinking muscles, being fully aware, alive, awake moment to moment. But it's a certain cross to bear, no doubt. Living with the Wrongness, not letting it destroy us. You know we also play this game with our own very personal problems, we do better when we focus close to home. Again, there are some aspects of our own personalities that need fixing, and eternal attention. And who and what we are has been shaped by experiences and realities beyond our control, but we can do the work of improving ourselves, identifying problems, coming up with solutions, new ways of being. It's a determind process of unfolding, it probably never ends, until the end. Living with ourselves in this world is a constantly evolving adventure. Anyway, we are left to our own devices, being good, doing good. Hoping for the best. Putting our Faith in Good Thoughts & Right Action, no matter how paltry, and close to the bone these gestures mean in the grand scheme of things. Being Human is not an easy thing...
