No offense to Albert, and I cannot speak to the original context, but that is far too narrow and simplistic and even narcissistic a perspective, I’m afraid.

Everything that comes about—or “exists,” as it were—does so due to an indeterminably complex churning of interactions and relationships, a nonstop vortex of causes/effects, a single-field dynamic that ripples in all directions simultaneously, spatially and temporarily, and ceaselessly transforms within itself to unfold this singular, uninterrupted Now.

Think of the surface of a pond in the midst of a raging thunderstorm. That’s the level of incessant interaction we are speaking about. Do we really think a raindrop—even a sentient one—has that much influence?

Our actions, or inactions, though seemingly monumental at times from our own narrow little perspective, hold remarkably little sway over Reality, despite our terrified denials and desires for it be different. I know that goes against the whole “self-sufficient or self-determined person” concept, but any real investigation into our actual circumstances shows it to be the deeper Truth. While local influence is possible, striving for anything even remotely resembling “control” is a fool’s errand that leads to a lot of suffering.

Well deserved. The group that hit him, very diplomatic. Waited patiently for their stop, and nice goodbye.

Cop deserves a life sentence. Who knows how many lives he’s ruined with something like this.

I just would like to take a moment and ask y'all nonblacks to think about what this does to a community. Just like, think of the general systemic effects for a moment… Thanks.
