My few active friends
So there is this issue, I am going to skip the cut mainly because I don't want to waist my precious seconds of focus on remembering how.....
I was just sent this picture, taken in North Portland, of a reader sign saying, "Where is John Galt when you need him?".
Yeah! Where is he? Can he please come help those who do not know learn? And the real issue I am having is that it seems, as I look around that many of the "bottom feeders" and sucklings are people I not only know, some of whom I LIKE! What is wrong with my clarity? What is lost in that of those I have had faith in, but I can see now as helping the, for lack of a better word, evil? How can I help either them or my SELF come to figure out this one? I could care less about the people at large at this second, although we all know that my inner boyscout is out to help them all see the light.... right this second, I am concerned with those whom I hold dear. What can I do to help them see as they are the ones I rely on and count on to be the puritans I see in them. Some seem to have lost their teenaged angst to a level of complacent and disgusting apathy.
Not that I am beyond guilt when it comes to apathy. I have done it to my SELF as well. I have adopted this very small view of the world around me so that I may better act in that small sphere. This, unfortunately leaves me blind and ignorant (much to my demise) when it comes to the goings on of the "world at large". Alas, I still hold my blinders tight and resolve my malleable mind to the thought that I am doing what my ancestors did and paying my best attention where it matters most, the home front. Nor do I care much for the things beyond beyond conceptually.....but it might be nice to get my blue pie piece a bit easier once in a while.
Alas, I digress. Why is it that this apathy has set in as we have aged? Why can't we maintain that desire to fight and use our lessons to teach us to do it smarter rather than to learn to "go with the flow"....and now I see why I am at a loss...... it would be the simple "let it slide" thought process I am fighting against again. Mutha fucka! At least writing it out got me this far....now back to the egg, or was it the damn chicken? How about I say hi to my chickens and collect my eggs and continue to act in and for the home front.
nanoo, nanoo
