A new year....
(Started on Facebook...)
I've got nothing fancy or awesome to write for the new year, other than last year went too fast. Now I watch another year fly by. 28 on the 4th. I still think I am supposed to be alone... No, nothing ever lasts forever, dispite what we want to believe. Personal desires overshadowed by other's greed and selfishness...I have no faith in humanity. None. I certainly hope we don't go to space and beyond our solar system...what will we have to offer but destruction and domination? It is our way...and I am not proud of it. At all.
I get to sit and watch two people I care about who are deeply in love be ripped apart, torn at the seams and all but nuked because of two other's selfishness and desire to cause pain. There may be a few of us who are willing to give and love wholly and completely, to share what we have, to try to understand what is out there for us...but we cannot move forward until we learn to live with each other.
That...will not happen any time soon. History repeats itself. We are a veritable catch-22, caught in that never-ending loop. Control. Domination. Power. Money. Greed. These are the things that make up the human race as a whole. Underneath the desire to love and to be loved, there is all that.
Someone wants to be loved...but when one doesn't get it, he goes ballistic and hurts the one he wants love from. Controls her, beats her into submission to gain what he thinks is love from her.
Someone's heart gets broken because another lead her on.
Another's is broken because he cheated on her, or she cheated on him.
Two brothers in a business together for years...for one to find out the other has been stealing from the first for 10 years or more.
Teenagers laughing about a cat they found, burning it's fur off and throwing it off a bridge, only to throw rocks at it. What did the cat do to them? It sat on the edge of the road cleaning it's own fur.
A man rapes a woman for nothing more than that physical pleasure, fear, excitement and adrenaline rush that he can't get anywhere else.
Someone kills for the morbid joy of it.
Seriously.
What are we but slaves to this torment called Humanity? We curse ourselves. No one else does it, no one. But this race is still young, like a child fighting against another for a toy. Screaming, kicking, yelling that they know better, that they deserve to have all the toys in the toy box.
It will be several millennia before we learn to work with each other and with nature herself, rather than destroy her as we have been doing.
I keep asking myself...
What the hell am I doing here? There is nothing I can do to assist this world in heading in the right direction except leave words on this Live Journal that people will just scoff at, because again, they think they know better. Granted, I don't know better, I sure as hell don't claim to know everything and be the best. I have never been 'the best' at anything. Never will be. But my beliefs in Wicca, in Nature, in how things interconnect remain strong. I believe they used to be for this race. Then something happened. Something planted the seeds of greed and corruption in this race and we fell apart.
The demons we fear hiding in our dreams are nothing more than ourselves.
I'm here for the ride, it seems. When are we gonna decide on a direction to go?
New Year's Resolution: None. They never happen anyway.
