Yes. The more we resist, the stronger that which we are resisting becomes, through us. Instead of resisting, maybe we should work on creating that which we want to exist. I think it would be more fruitful.

that is the question, but also making that fit with what reality throws at us

it's a scrambled mess as far as I can see

Haha. My life is a scrambled mess at moment. Microcosm of the macrocosm I guess. But I still put forth what energy I can to building bridges, tearing down walls. I have pulled my energy from us vs. them mentality. I am done doing sides. I'll stand on the middle with a hand stretched out to both. We are all in this chaos together. I would rather stand in love for all. And if "they" come, we can stand and face "them" together. No trenches for me. To triumph over evil, you must first stand and face it, so you can see it for what it truly is. Then all it's power dissapates. And "they" are given power through the digital environment. Remove ourselves from that and they have nothing. I hope more awaken to this understanding. To take our power back, we must take our humanity back. Our humanity is rooted to the earth, not the out of body digital environment. That is the biggest hurdle we face.

Wow, your words are so beautiful. I agree fully with what you say.

It takes much more strength to stand between the trenches than to cower within them.

Life happens outside the digital, and whatever happens in 1s and 0s is mostly irrelevant. Love is not there, nor is humanity, nor life.

I see the digital realm as the realm of the grey men (from momo), and all it does is eat time.

Surely it doesn't have to be that way, but that's what it is as of now.

I stand with you Ann. We cannot keep going hating each other, nor tearing families and friendships apart by virtue of some beautiful principle. No matter how beautiful, such a thing when brandished as a weapon becomes stained with blood and pain.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Love to you and those around you.
