In these times of violence and evil, which is well covered by so many, I just feel we have to try to hold to values, principles and hope for a better world. What each of us does and thinks has an impact on the great network of humanity, the cobweb of connection as the ancient seers believed made this world; the hologram of being.

We are drowning, indeed, in our craven silence!

When life is too easy it makes people weak and weak people are easily frightened. Our parents and grandparents and beyond had tough lives and learned to make their way through with stoicism. From at least the 1960's in the West, people have been indulged by circumstance and have indulged, most of them, their children even more. This is why, I believe, people living in the West are the weakest humans on the planet. That and over-processed food and too many medications and vaccinations messing with the minds of children.

Look at Western society today in regard to raising children, i.e. an award for turning up - no effort required. Everyone gets a badge regardless of effort or success. A recipe for pissweak people.

Weak, entitled and easily manipulated! Hardship and failure build character and resilience. Just look at the Palestinians. It would be unimaginable for Westerners to have endured what they have and are enduring!

Seems this is your Original Poem and what a Masterpiece it truly is ✊🏽♨️... It perfectly captures what humanity has collectively chosen to devolve to and mourns who we can be and choose not to be with our freewill acting as the eternal witness that we weren't forced to be this way but actively chose it and now we must best the consequences for becoming such beasts 💯

And hopefully, we choose to aspire and attain and reclaim our list divinity and soul for if we do not, we're fucking doomed.
