What Do I Say?

What Do I Say to all of you reading this post?

What Do I Say to the Me that is living on this Planet and going about her mundane daily tasks: Showering, making the bed, tidying up, shopping for groceries, cooking, washing? A Retired Old Soul juggling the Very Ordinary? What Do I Say to the Some of you who might be juggling all that, as well as a job, partners, maybe young kids, teenagers and all those other duties and requirements?

And What Do I Say to that Other Me who is suspended somewhere in a space overlooking this Planet with one hand on her broken heart, the other on her lamenting cheek and wondering how the hell could it have become this horrible? Am I being Pessimistic? Or, am I being Realistic? Frankly I don’t even know that anymore!

I look around and find that our Climate is causing disastrous issues and so Many, Many Humans are suffering the consequences of the Warning Bells and Alerts that have been pealing for at least the past thirty years, while numerous conferences, meetings, suggestions, negotiations and agendas were cutting millions of trees in order to print reports and reports and more reports most of which have yet to materialize into tangible results? It takes time, some tell me. Can we afford the time, I question? Again, I have no answers while I observe the sad and horrific turbulence that Climate is causing.

Then I look at all those Terrible Wars going on and causing More and More Humans to suffer their very dire consequences as Politicians, World Leaders and Universal and International Organizations seem to have become Totally Irrelevant in providing any Fair, Sensible, Responsible Solutions? To the contrary! They seem to be looking through the very narrow needle holes through which they only see their own tribal, or party, or national interests but that have no regard for the longterm consequences. Meanwhile, Millions of Humans have become only Collateral Damages to their Arrogant, Selfish and Peep Hole View of the World and its Catastrophes. They – certainly not All of them – spout off as if they are God’s Gift To Mankind with their self-serving and entitled opinions and hypocritical words! Simply listen to the Lies, Deceit and Propaganda of the Israeli Government, or the Hypocrisy of those who accept their arguments even though, if you substitute Palestine in place of Ukraine on so much of what they passionately spew you would be simply astounded at their Hypocrisy and Bullshit! Do they really believe that we are all Idiots who can’t see through their doublespeak and verbal gymnastics? Infuriating Dystopia? You’d better believe it! May they all rot in hell!

After reading one of my social media posts, a beautiful younger friend whom I have known since she was a teenager, messages me asking: “Should We Give Up Hope?” I respond: “Never! But it is a depressing, infuriating period of the long arm of history! I won’t be around, but for all of you younger generations: Never Give Up! Karma is Unforgiving!” Her touching answer was: “It sure is infuriating and depressing. Thank you. I needed to hear that.”

Yes, we all need to hear that. To say it to ourselves and to our loved ones. We do! We do, and despite the fact that the whole world is in a disconcerting state, I still sometimes wonder how much I believe my own words when my heartbreaking issues remain Palestine and the Palestinian Humans, Lebanon and the entire Middle Eastern Region all causing me sleepless nights, distracted and unfocused thinking and so, so much pain and despair??!! This has been going on since the Colonization of Palestine was plotted by the Complicit Colonist Enterprise, which, sadly and in this particular case, is not only the US, UK, Israel, NATO and the EU, but also Includes every King, Emir, Sheikh, President of all the wider region. This devious plot has been at the basis of all the ensuing wars and catastrophes causing one nightmare after another and then another! So, while yes, we cannot lose Hope, we must also face the sorrowful and painful reality that the Palestinian, Lebanese, Syrian, Iraqi, Jordanian, Egyptian et al Humans of the Middle East have been sold down the river – the Styx River that goes straight to Hell! However, I say to myself, there is No Certainty in Life, and, especially not in Politics. So Where is it all going? When will it end? How will it end? Questions that seem to have no hopeful answer at this time, because it appears that it is going to get Worse and Worser and Much More Worse before there is a glimmer of Sanity, Sense of Responsibility, Humanity and Morality!

And just for your information: Whether it is Trump or Kamala who wins this election it will be the same old heartbreaking, distressing bullshit for the Middle East. As I said in a previous post whether the dagger is thrust in our hearts with Braggadocio, or a Feminist Twist it will still make us bleed! Profusely!

So, yes, we should Never give up Hope, but we must also realize that there are situations when it is extremely difficult to imagine a better tomorrow. The events we are witnessing, especially recently, are so depressing, so painful, so sorrowful as to make it much harder to imagine what tomorrow will bring. More of the same? Not? I don’t know. I wish that I did!

Meanwhile, what has changed since my Post of July 30th., 2014 titled Free Fall? I reread it and teared up! How much more can Any Human Being absorb and process, when the carnage has Not Let Up for the past One Hundred Years?

At this point in time I feel that it is not only Humanity that has fled our Planet, but Justice, Equality, Sanity and Responsibility as well! That is not how to have a World Order, Respect for Others, Regard for Institutions and Common Decency!! I have no more words, for What Do I Say that will make us all feel better? Nothing! Nothing!
