It was 11 years ago tomorrow that I started my first blog post. It was short and without direction but I was feeling upbeat because Barack Obama had just received his oath of office 10 days earlier in 2009. I had been looking forward to explaining the nature of what it is to be a human being and nothing in life over the last 11 years has changed on that front. However over the last 3 years since trump came into his appointed position as president I have seen not the best of who we are as a species but instead the worst we are as a species.
The difference between Barack and trump is stark. If light was Barack then darkness is trump. Barack gave all of humanity the respect of its life whereas trump is nowhere to be found when it comes to all of us. So although this blog site started out with an upbeat optimistic tenor, it has found itself over the last many years as a protest to the worst of what humanity has become. My protestations will only get more amplified as this election cycle comes to a close on November 3rd. At that time the hope is that the trump reign of illegitimate power has come to an end the new beginning with majorities everywhere with democrats seize the next ruling paradigm.
Because humanity is an amazing complexity of compassion and curiosity. We all are like separate space probes with whistles, buzzers and bells to announce our uniqueness. We have memory both long and short term. We have sensors that give us incredible understandings when we apply them. We have individual mobility and physicality that allows for our movement without much restriction. We have the mind of a calculator who can not only reason, analyze, and conclude but we can distinguish between cause and effect. If someone was to build a god like creature they would certainly do well with humans in our pure form as examples. We do bad things because we choose to not because we have to. With the trumps gone the good will come back as the primary motivation of human behavior.
