Dog yapping; plastic, and dirty assholes: Europeans, Vietnamese and South Americans allowed themselves the convenient investment/industry of folding drying racks while others are consigned the fate of clotheslines, mechanical dryers or other capitalist deficiencies in the name of 'civilization' - why is that¿ what is it about plastic and filth that seems to draw one to the other? anybody who has picked up enough trash knows exactly what i’m talking about, almost as though a plastic bag is a ‘dirt magnet’. I’m wondering if polyester cloth behaves the same way which is why the ‘extraction economy’ is so big on eliminating cotton from the market place; the dirtier the cloth, the easier it is to flog ‘chemical additives’ to brighten ‘dingy’ clothes? pretty sinister thinking for a Sunday‘ Tamale Day’.
Yet, what if it is not so sinister to look into the face of a planet besot with war, greed, inequality - all of which are easily attenuated behaviors of a quiescent population distracted by mind numbing __________fill in the blank? (that is a question) What if the ‘lord god capitalism’ is just another fatted calf in the long lineage of demigods and self-serving rulers looking to extract the most for the least - what if ‘ReignaReigna’ the tamale lady is closer to the bone of reality than ‘google generations’ of Elonys or Donnys and all their circumstantial wealth or computing capacity¿ (another question)
What got me thinking about this was the difficulty in maintaining personal hygiene, be it physical, spiritual or even audio. Anybody who has hand washed enough of their own laundry knows how much more difficult it is to remove a stain from polyester cloth, or been driven to distraction by the incessant volume of modern electronics - almost as though every aspect of modern life is, rather than designed for human ‘wellbeing’, created for the convenience and enrichment of another class - the unspoken class; the ‘fascist class’ of parasites? (another question, however much inferred - still a question)
The more this premise, however unlikely or even permissible is used to parse our existence the more certain events begin to make sense ‘unwin-able’ wars, inequality for some: excess for others - answers without application. Still the specter of the ‘on high’ wisdom, the ‘justifiable reasons’ for violence to: women, children, other races; education to what end? because for all the expense and sacrifice our education and knowledge has cost our species, the end result does not seem to serve any purpose except for more and greater oppression and deceit.
Is there a secret formula, or is it as Thich Nhat Hanh et.al. have said - “The way out is in.” My father was a fan of existentialism amongst other intellectual curiosities. As an adolescent intensely interested in all things my father looked at, I tried to understand this philosophy. “Pop what is existentialism?” - “Well son, it is the belief that each choice you make represents a choice for all other human beings.” It wasn’t until much later when the convergence of Balinese Hinduism and the logic of Omnism began to converge in my thinking - my understanding of which is simply: humankind represent spiritual forces that are engaged in a great battle between ‘good and evil’, our human contribution is represented by our ‘acts, dharma, existentialist behavior, atonement, reverence etc., etc., etc. tipping the scale one way or da’ other.
stay tuned . ..
