Gosh 😞

All the darkness coming out to be seen clearly so that there is no choice but to change things. It will take time of course, I do hope we can see positive change in our lifetimes. Never thought we'd go backwards in this day and age, but I guess that's how cycles of nature function.

Yes -- I guess we can never assume that we'll always just keep moving forwards.

Two scenes fit for a film by Ken Loach or the brothers Dardenne. Others might suggest Black Mirror episodes, but I prefer the thoughtfulness and optimism-of-the-will of the filmmakers. Call me old fashioned but I still believe in the power of the political to counter the looming technological dystopia.

Very very sad times to be living in.. times where empathy, understanding, and trust have been lost to the financial crisis of the world. We have forgotten to be human, as we are forced into survival mode. So much to reflect and meditate on.

Being forced into survival mode is a fascinating way of looking at it. I hadn't considered that.

Thanks for reading.
