What day is this?

It’s been a few days... With a lot of ins, a lot of outs – and a whole bunch of what have yous...
What can you do? You seem to be going right... But obviously you’re still going in the wrong direction... Or even better, - going in circles. Kinda like the news these days... So...

It’s back to basics; I am sick and tired of bad news. Sick and tired of bad moods. And I am REALLY sick and tired of lousy communication. Sick and tired  - I tell you.

These claims may not seem that big or all important to you. Not at a first glance anyway... But no matter how you fill your daily life, with which (mindless) purposes you might think you have at all, during your designated short timespan here on Earth;
- In the end, what it all comes down to while you are here, and we all have to deal with that simple fact, with you, and everything that goes with the make-up that is you, - is how you and I are able to relate to each other...

I am not talking about relating in ways where we can buy each other out, or off. Not talking about compromises that may seem to solve a here-now/back-then ”accident”, but never get to the root problem, the foundation of conflict. Any kind of conflict.

You see, people, that is really all we have left. Relating. No rights. No money. No security. No borders. No way in hell of protecting our ways of life. And we do not have Peace.

Our ways of relating to one another – that is ALL we have. Relating with myself, and relating with you. By any means possible and necessary. The stories we tell ourselves, tell each other, and how we THEN proceed to act, - therein lies the shaping of our world.

And you can be damn sure, that you are filled with stories meant to shape YOUR cocoon world, your daily life, and chocies of action! In every single moment someone somewhere is dreaming up ways of how to tell you –yes you – exactly how it’s all going to be, how the world will come to and end / a new beginning / a new Apocalypse / a new Order, how you should invest / or not, how you should keep a diary, are you SURE you’re not interested?

Never – ever ! – underestimate the power of humans ways of relating to each other. ”Oh, I feel you, dude”, ”I know exactly what you mean”, ”That’s Right! Reminds me of ____”(feel free to fill in the blank, with a big ME)...

Of course, sure... You are right, my attentive reader.

How else to express, that truly ”I do relate to you”, save by applying any of the worn out customary carefully instigated cultural norms of ”I See You” provided above from here...

The truth is, I don’t have a problem with our norms, our cultural choices of interaction... No... I have a HUGE problem with our norms... Our cultural choices of interaction.
But not in the way, you might think. I am not an idiot. I may be dumb, but I ain’t stupid.

Yes, we do need some sort of ’common lingo’, such as certain cultural norms, to make some sort of coorperative state of mind happening. I see that. It doesn’t do, to take a dump wherever, whenever you need to – no heed of setting, environment, situation and so on. It just doesn’t do.

Cultural norms are ways of connecting across boundaries of immediate (mis)conceptions. They ’fan out’ our differences, make room for a ’pardon’, ’s’il vous plait’, ’prego’ and a ’please’.

BUT make no mistake! They are also carefully constructed storylines we all blindly and stupidly copy, re-negotiate, ”re-create” - to better make them fit our society – as our illusionary state of superior consciousness knows absolutely no boundaries...

What is really taking place, is nothing but a commercialisation of our so-called convictions, principles, beliefs – hey if it has an idealistic ring to it – choose freely from the top shelf.
It’s all for sale! Like branding yourself!

Peace – I hope
