"Coming together is the beginning; keeping together is a process;
Working together is success"
A break through in science. What we've all been watching on TV and waiting for since, well, at least since I was a little kid. I feel incredibly blessed to be living during this day and age. Yet also, I feel very afraid. Grateful because without modern science.... Darwinism and survival of the fittest proves that I would be dead. I am afraid because the world we live in is so technologically advanced that it is leaving the rest of the human race behind. We seem to be leaving the ones you aren't able to keep up with (or afford) the ever rising tides of Tech world. Just as science and history proves to us time and time again, some of us don't evolve as quickly the rest. I watch tentatively, playing the game, pondering over what it is we are really here to do. Waiting to move my next chess piece. How much do we really know? What are our science experiments causing? What about the run off that is pouring off our mountains and into our valleys? I am afraid, not for myself, but for future generations to come... who may live in a world controlled by robots, or a world that is so barren and dry that there is no vegetation and they have to live in outer space and travel through a black hole time continuum to try and "turn back time". I know all of that being said, its far out, but you've all watched the very same movies.. and the reason why we like it so much.. is its because it could happen.
Has anyone turned on their TV lately and watched what they are broadcasting to our society, our children, our adolescents and adults, (who, in reality are really just psychologically advanced children). Its been in the forecast for years, voted up by our most popular crowd social media and the boob tube. Disaster is on its way, maybe not in this generation or in the next, but the day robots take over the world will not surprise me in the slightest. Here's to you science. Dream on. Its not like its our reality your tinkering with. So far we have used our only home as a testing sight for all of our many experiments. There are always repercussions to our actions. When one takes, one must give. Whether this be on a physical realm, karmic realm, or mental realm. Pain and suffering is all inter-related. The giving and taking of "things," the yin and yang are simply the harmonious cycles of life. The cycle of giving and receiving. If all we do is take, take away human contact from our sick who so desperately need compassion, love, and human connection; Take away land from our native people or our inner city public housing dwellers; take away the possibility to have clean drinking water; Take away all of the real whole food, and genetically modify it, causing a spin off of reactions and allergies... If all we do is take then one day there will be nothing left to for us to take away and we will be, excuse my language, but shit out of luck. I speak for the trees and for all of our wild things. Protect them. Help them grow. Help the consciousness of the world grow. Get your kids outside and teach them how to use a shovel and plant some seeds. Teach them that their bodies are just like the gardens they tend to, and you have to nurture, respect, and love the plants in your garden, and pick out all the weeds.. otherwise one of your plants could catch a fungal infection or aphids could eat all your tomatoes... Basically if we don't teach and carry on the traditions of our ancestors eventually instead of having a real nurse and a real garden to tend to, you could have a robot, and a factory that grows all of your genetically modified food. And I for one, know that having a nurse who is a real live person is really important...I can't even begin to explain what a nurse goes through and does every day working on an intensive care unit for Cancer patients. Or any nurse, social worker, therapist, and hospice worker in general. They see, and hear awful things every single day of their lives. But it is their human compassion that makes them able to help and heal the ones who need healing. It is their LOVE. Human contact is what every human desires. Why are we isolating our wounded even more so than we already have? Placing them in 10x10 white roomed boxes, with one clear fish tank wall to look out of; Or for people to look in at you from the outside. It's funny how alike an aquarium or a zoo cage is to a hospital room. Except in aqauriums and zoo's we try and make the animals feel a little bit more at home, to at least have a illusion to the outside world that they really belong in. Everyone can come in and look, but the one in the room cannot leave, just like the animal never gets to leave his cage. Well its no wonder that all those wild animals one day snapped and ate their zoo keeper who loved them and cared for them so deeply. No one likes to be kept in a cage, No matter how comfy you make it.. Now, I have the solution! Lets lock them in a room with a robot to take care of them! There's the solution. That will help them with their emotional and psychological problems that go along with illness and pain.
Are we not a nation that has a large gap in unemployment, an even larger gap of poverty and for the homeless.? Ah wait, don't let me forget yet another huge gap for all immigrants, illegal or legal alike.All the answers are here. All the people are here. love each other. Heal each other, teach each other. Or one Day we won't have anyone left to help. Why are we making robots who can do the same meaningful work we can do? Make me a robot that has more compassion and empathy than a human being. Then, I will be impressed, and I also will be heading to my closest "bug out" site and getting off the map.
Not to go on a rant or anything.... but man, I feel like as smart as we have become, all of our technology has made us comfortably numb.. and honestly, it makes the gap larger, because people are just getting more and more lazy with all of this wonderful technology that can do it all for you.
