The Battle Between Mobility and Conservation –

In an earlier blog post I have tried to identify and address my own negativity –
The Negative feelings I have experienced in life; those lurking sensations that drag you down are so strange the way they can seem to rise up and strangle you with unpleasant thoughts about the world or other people, etc.
As another Spring begins its bloom, I am therefore particularly aware that there continue to be very real conflicts in the very most basic structures of our world.

In our modern world it is common, accepted and understood that things are complex and interwoven. We when think of issues – we tend to think of opinions, and a dialog of ideas – of coming to a common understanding of accommodation for all of the parties and factors involved.
Rarely do our basic instincts play a role in all of this.
So what is happening when we see something and our instinct screams, “Ugly!”
All of our refined modern manors would tell us to give what this thing is a fair to be free to be itself.
But what are the chances that our instinct is actually telling us something that is powerfully important.
––––––––––––
Today we have so many great things going on in the world, so many amazing opportunities to do things that are truly fantastic – And at the same time: we still have disease, violence, poverty and starvation; pollution now threats one of the pillars of life itself – the climate.
So What – What are we suppose to do, what does this mean to me, how am I suppose to even begin to comprehend all of this?
–––––––––––––––
This is why I am proposing that we take a little leap, that is – a step, and carefully deconstruct our relationship between: The Big Picture and Our daily lives.
Clearly much of our worst social anxiety today stems from our traumatic relationship between fame, fortune and the regular business of life; the allocation of resources, going places and doing things, the enjoyment of life, health and safety, etc.
How peculiar it is that we have these radically differing paradigms about life.
In one you are suppose to go out in the world and become who you are meant to be. You seek out love and opportunity, you work hard and get ahead, you go to school and get an education – vital training, that provides the priceless gift of aptitude – thereby giving you the power to go out and make what you will of the world. It is a passport to undeniable success, in which you and everyone you know gets to excel in everything they do.
In the other – you are a natural born super-star who needs merely show up – at the club, the job interview or the job site, to be recognized as an incredible benefit to everyone around you. You have the super-ability to please everyone, even on the most intimate levels, with impunity. Your ideas flow like a river of gold falling from the skies on the joyously upturned faces of the adoring crowd assembled to witness the truth of your own awesomeness.
And the Ugly Truth is that when we all go to work the main thing happening is an insane clown posse of conflict between management and labor, ( see also Karl Marx ).
