Sad if a person thinks that we humans in this dimension are the highest form of intelligence on the planet. Then all that really counted ultimately would be Who's Who. And presto - we have this culture of the celebrity. Everything's a competition. Plus, we can only "fix" ourselves.
But how do we even know we need fixing? What perception causes us to perceive that anything is amiss? Wanting to stop pain? What is the source of compassion for others' pain?
Sure these questions are always around in some intellectual forum. Can you discover answers really in that way? In seeking elsewhere a person may discover greater darkness.
Scary if that overtakes a person and the one avenue of light becomes unthinkable, even shut off. Sigh. If we make up our own Higher Being, is it really higher? How do we imagine that? I don't mean aliens, but there are some "higher" beings that are not good, pretenders, even.
Anyway, the culture is crazy. It's all about US. In a crowd but lonely for understanding. For acceptance, without having to keep up with all this popularity and the latest crap. Sigh again, and UGH. Father! We need more grace than I can possibly imagine. Visit US again! BIG-TIME! (And I don't mean the Pope - sorry).
