Country sadness


Can a whole country be sad?

Yes and the surprise is that no one says anything

The hand of fear is ever present

No rule of law just a ruling elite who do as they want

Everyone knows it but nothing is said in public

It cannot be for fear of reprisals or worse

Everyone is vulnerable to attack

They grew up with it

Became conditioned, immersed in the cultural propaganda of lies and deceit

And in spite of this they sense things could or even should be different

Just an innate human knowledge that things are not right when so much cruelty is wanton and condoned by the state

The worst is knowing that things need not be this way

Humans need not be so abusive of each other

Lording it over those who cannot defend themselves

Stealing and grabbing all they can

No limits to the greed

State or private assets they make no distinction

Just more and more and woe betide those who get in the way

Anything to do?

Yes get out

Or stay and shift your orientation

Move to an internal world

A world where you live and work in the same place but move your emotions to another place

A place where they cannot be touched by the system you live in

Move to another head space, one where you cannot be touched

Internal worlds can be serene

Become the observer of yourself in the physical world

Live in your own space

Learn to let go everything that repels

Those things that are obligatory you perform

You do not let them touch you

Abstain from fear

This is the only thing they have fear

If you remove yourself from this they have nothing over you

You are gone

You are not there

Live your life in your world not theirs

Yes people who live with the rule of law and take it for granted that they have rights

How lucky you are

For those who do not move into a different space

Until that day when you have the chance to make your contribution to positive change.
