Drowned in knowledge on every possible subject with instant accessibility we have never had before, we live in a world inundated with solutions and answers.
Yet, the state of affairs!
There must be something missing.
Yet, in every conversation – “But what is the solution?”
There has to be a catch.
The paradox is too monolithic to ignore.
So, what is it humanity? What is what with you?
You have all the answers. All the keys. Even within you – spiritually speaking.
Yet, the state of affairs – within and without you!
So, what is it?
Have we been solving the wrong problems? Opening the wrong locks?
You open one wrong lock and face a hundred locks – deep in the dungeons.
Deeply entertaining. Deathly devastating. Ah, the dopamine!
Deeper in the dungeons - are we answering the wrong questions? Firing the wrong synapses?
Are we missing the 'right ones'?
The persistent ones!
The ignored and dismissed ones, buried to oblivion!
The stubborn, unrelenting, goddamned phantoms on our shoulders that refuse to climb down – until we embrace them!
The ghosts of all that we have done, who sleep between our eyelids and eyeballs when we sleep – waiting for us to wake up – only to demand – “Embrace us - lovingly” – when we wake up.
The tough little bastards!
Shall we?
