Low Energy Stress Syndrome

Unread postby MD » Mon 18 May 2015, 19:05:27

LESS is more

Our global engine is sputtering due to lack of fuel. I see all kinds of frantic efforts to keep the fire fueled and growing, but it's 3am, most of the party goers are drunk or busy having sex, and the rest are off somewhere looking for food munchies.

What's that old saying? "Eat, Drink, and Be Merry, for tomorrow we die?"

Yeah it's looking kind of like that.

As for me, I am glad that I took the time to stop and prepare for this shit storm. Instead of freaking out I get to look around in amazement until some random shit takes me out.

Right?

I'm not a doomer. I am way over that. I am seriously concerned though about the other 98% that haven't taken the time to process grieving steps one through four. Seriously concerned. It's becoming increasingly possible that some whacked out individual will happen my way, and I will be a casualty. I'm not afraid of that so much, but I will miss the view after that.

Right?

I am just amazed and out of words. Lyrics help with that:

Its an interesting analogy, I like it. And if you believe like me in the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics then ironically we are all going to be around to clear the mess up afterwards.

Yes a good analogy. And also a good perspective to appreciate what you have been able to witness, awake and aware of the process and no longer fighting the rising chaos that may or may not cut any of our lives short.
