The tragic part of all this is that we have become such a foolish and craven people, so lost in our endless victory laps, incessant self-awards, and failures of attention, that we will deserve everything that reality throws at us. We are past the point of being unworthy of our own history, so maybe we ought to stop pretending to celebrate it.

Easy there. I sense great anger and frustration.

The sheeple do not "deserve" the harsh pains that reality (aka Mother Nature) might throw at them.

"Deserving" is a side companion of "blame" and the "I'm better than they" syndrome. None of that is going to help.

One should forgive the sheeple because, honestly, they really, really "know not what they do".

Would you blame a 5 month old baby for making a doo doo in his/her pants? Of course not. They know not what they do (do) and also, physically they probably can't help it.

It is going to take time, patience, and a great deal of educating to move society from its current state of blissful ignorance to one of knowledge and proactive prevention.

We don't give up on messy babies. We shouldn't throw in the towel on our messy civilization either.

Deep breath and start your day afresh.
Peace.
