Human Hypocrisy

Human hypocrisy - the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform...
*********************************************************************
I woke up early... before 6:00 a.m. and I am debating within me... 
"Should I add a blog post or maybe not...?"
I am having an existential debate for the past few years... with myself...! 
"Why should I write...? Why should I be involved...? After all NOTHING essentially changes... The stones are replaced by sticks... sticks are replaced by whips and slings... and then we have metal knives and metal weapons... we have catapults... and flying machines... and arms of all kinds... more sophisticated... faster and more effective killings machines... and be have dynamite... bombs of all kinds... and than nuclear weapons and nuclear bombs..."
Evolution for humankind is the evolution of killing machines... and killing fields...
Armenian Genocide... and then Ukrainian Holodomor... Jewish Holocaust... and then Rwanda... Bosnia-Srebrenica... and Darfur and Sudan... 
Genocides... ALL the genocides... now they are called Ethnic cleansing... Very sanitary...!
The battlefields... ALL the battlefields... now battlefields are called theaters ... Theaters of operation...
Indeed the wise man wrote... All the world is a stage... and fools acted... Fools created... Hiroshima... Nagasaki... Middle East... and all the rest from Troy to Athens to Dresden... to Pearl Harbour... and Mosul and Rakka... and the rest...
Refugees... Globalization of homelessness...
All these crowded my mind... and I woke up early... 
I went through the morning rituals... Open the windows for fresher air... brewed coffee... and watched the birds...
I always wanted to live by myself... alone in a monastery... But it did not happen... I jumped from one metropolis to the other...
and now I am tired... and frustrated...
The Myth of Sisyphus... is weighing heavy on me... and I wonder... To be or not to be... to write a post or not to...

In the past year, San Francisco spent $275 million to fight  homelessness. 

Yet it’s as bad as ever...
Maybe money is not the problem... Maybe it's human norms and attitudes and greed and shooting for profit...
Maybe...

  

The royals... the 1% and the others... the refugees... and the hungry... and the dispossessed ... Frantz Fanon called them The Wretched of the Earth... Fascinating writer... good philosopher...

The refugees roaming... wandering... the homeless of San Francisco... and New York and Los Angeles and Toronto and London and Paris and the rest...
Refugees... the globalization of the homeless... No one wants them... The royals pity them... Let them eat cake, they say... the 1% does not want them... they introduce Travel Ban...
Humans have evolved... But nothing has changed... 
Maybe we are cursed by God and stuck with the Myth of Sisyphus... forever...

Ten Commandments Monument Lasted Less Than 24 Hours

Less than a day after a monument of the Ten Commandments was installed outside the Arkansas State Capitol in Little Rock, it was destroyed when a man smashed a car into the stone.

Human Hypocrisy is Smashed... 

After all, moral values are NOT monuments erected in a park... they are not just talking points... People should act on them...
