That's the design of this reality.
So there has to be something, there has to be misery and pain and suffering.
And I'm saying has to, but it's like loosely, but like it's the design of the system to have that so that we have the recognition of what is the antithesis of that.
Like, Oh, kindness and joy and, um, community and, uh, uh,
seeing oneself and others and us being in solidarity and community with one another and we're rising and we're not trying to take advantage of the fact that we're alive because generally like the idea of like evil and things of that nature are essentially it's awareness but like kind of gone in the it's like awareness gone wild you know like it's it's awareness of like you know that idea that was talking about like the
uh it's a wonderful life you know that realization of like everything that you might have lost but now you're like that didn't happen and now you can give this lease it's kind of like there's an antithesis version of that which is like i'm awake in this life how can i take advantage of those that are not and um and that's an interesting thing you know it's like the persians called aruman you know it's like the it's the cold calculated intelligence you know it's like it just is the calculator of
consciousness essentially or aware or consciousness, like being conscious.
And so all of that to say, I don't like it.
You know, it's like that, like, but I also am not as judgmental as I used to be about it, where I would be like, fuck these guys for doing this.
You know, it's like, yeah, I would rather you guys not do that.
because we don't need to be doing that.
And that's really kind of where it comes from.
Now it's turned into annoyance with someone who's taking advantage of people or trying to fool people or just like that not being... I'm just like, if you want power...
then why not just say you want the power?
Why create all this obfuscation and try to get people to like be untrust, you know, don't trust the reality that you're in and like send all these like divisional messages to like, I'm like, why all the fireworks?
Just like say what you want, like stuff fucking around, you know, and stuff fucking around with everybody else.
Cause like, but at the same time,
we're all deciding that that's what it is, right?
Like, so if there's a lot of misery and there's things going on, like for instance, like even like that stuff that's happening with ICE in Minnesota, it's like, you kind of see what's happening and you see why it's happening and you see what it's doing, but then people are reacting differently.
Some people are physically resisting.
