It is a new world today.
New Age-y vernacular aside, I have been reading that there
are two BASIC – as in FUNDAMENTAL – emotions - Fear and Love, or rather, that all emotions lead
back to the basic/fundamental emotions of Fear and Love.
I don’t think anyone has to buy into any particular belief
to know the truth of this. And heaven
forbid I suggest otherwise what with all the sensitivity going on around me.
Having stated my disclaimer, I pontificate:
I was brought up in a Culture of Fear. Truth. As in that is a FACT.
I do not deny that I was loved, but that love came with a price. The price was fear. For example:
Spare the rod, spoil the child
FEAR YOUR GOD or you will die and something about the gnashing of teeth (that
one ALWAYS scared the BE-JESUS right out of me! Pun intended.)
“I have to punish you now, but I do it because I love you”
THE END IS NEAR! APOCALYPSE NOW!
OBEY AUTHORITY! Not
RESPECT them, but OBEY or fear punishment!
Crime is rising! Drug
WARS! Terrorism! GANGLAND! PEDOPHILIA (which, along with serial killers,
is apparently rampant now)!
And now it’s THE ILLUMINATI, the 2%, reptilian agendas,
satanic entertainment cults, government, New World Order, microchipping, medications,
nanotechnology, cell phones, aliens, religions, guns, educational systems, mind
control, electrical toxicity, pollution, environment, natural disasters, WATER,
AIR, FOOD, COFFEE (oh please no, not my coffeeeeeeeeeeeeee!)…
Ahhhh, the EVIL MEDIA!
Isn’t there always someone to blame?
And the list goes on.
Thank you. I get
it. I AM SCARED! Okay.
Psychotic Break activated.
Is it any wonder? How
can anyone who is even mildly sensitive supposed to function? And no wonder psychopathy is prevalent. I would say that some humans HAVE become
desensitized in order to survive the feeling of being terrified every single minute of the day.
I digress.
I could analyze until next Tuesday as to why humans have
become obsessed with Fear. But, that’s
not my point (at least not today).
My
point is- it is what it is. What is done is DONE.
And in order to fit in, conform, be a good girl, getalong,
etc, I have done my fair share of the FEAR perpetuation.
But as Maya Angelou wrote: "You did then what you knew how to do, and when you knew better, you did better."
I know better.
I am doing better.
I am choosing LOVE.
A Culture of Love.
That’s MY New World Order.
