To a friend that watched today's vlog -

Seeing as you watched the vid, you should watch for my posts tonight and tomorrow.  I needed to see, and to say, what I did in that vid, but it was not the end, it was a new beginning.  If I'm to be forgiven for my ways at all, this quote may be a reason why:

"I never know what I think till I've read what I've written," Faulkner (paraphrase).  So it is with me. I make no apologies but I understand it makes for a rough ride.

The French Resistance, German Underground is not an analogy for today, and I was momentarily feeling that it was, deeply. No. Not at all.  The French, and millions of Germans SAW the machinery crushing them.  Many responded in cowardly ways, but 'seeing' it still made them available 'victims' to be inspired to join, to act, by others.  No, again, The Matrix.  We have The Matrix.  Today's kids, the Victims, are tightly screwed into the Matrix pods. I'm not slandering them. But this is how they are responding. My God, the exceptions - some of the Tar Sands Blockade folks.   But their continued micro-numbers to me only proves that their generation is the first one totally raised in the matrix, totally addicted to stuff, not a snowballs chance in hell of them recognizing, embracing, and responding to their victimhood.  No, not like the Fr. or German resistance.  Not like women's suffrage, apartheid, vietnam war, civil rights - where there were huge numbers that recognized, tho would not initially confront, their victimhood.  The Matrix. 

I no longer expect to terminate treatment, not that anyone should care, but just for the record.

No, the only life worth living in the future will be self-lessly Loving our global neediest; and no, life expectancy will be short, and brutalization, high. But the psychological experience will be Heaven, as long as it lasts.  Hispanics I think come closest, but spend their lives trying to work for rich folk.  But humble, and I think, joyful servants, as a group.  I must see how to help make that choice more available to future generations than it would be without my efforts. Least, that's my hunch for me right now.  Pretty much what I'd been figuring before today's important detour.
