Why the divide? why are we stuck?Why the racism ? why cant we move to the lighted side of moral living ?
I ask the question 'why' so many times during the day, may be more frequently than when I was four or five years old. The current whys comes as an auto exasperation response. I like my younger version 'why's- they got a response that was satisfying to my curious mind.
Today's 'why's go , ambiguously into the demise of humanity realm.
I am not complaining about the various tweets that are racist, that is those peoples' opinion...please don't you call that "their bias", in fact call it what it is - pure unadulterated racism that drives this country now . But why?
If only we could use those dark minds' to power our energy needs, like using dark matter to give energy, light , to make the darkness dissipate ... well may be in that 'alternate utopia' they use that as a resource .That land sure is thriving with alternate facts.
Let me digress briefly from talking about overt aggression and instead talk about micro-aggression
I thought this whole country knew micro aggression as a daily fact of life .
When I go to my neighborhood key food store and the snarly cashier reluctantly drops the bill and the change into my hand , careful not to touch me even accidentally and rolls her eyes as I exit , I ignore it. I know that she has to do cashiering as a job and that my taxes would go to support her if she lost that job .I have to say at times I seek out her counter , just to make her day uncomfortable . oh well...I never said I am saintly...
I also have to thank my neighbor for his kindly entitled advise of last week -as he barged into my back yard as I was closing the gate, suggesting , asking if "I have considered moving , as a way of downsizing , especially as children are grown and live in different places ".So noble of him to want his neighborhood to be purer , racially speaking ...I do not question why he has not considered downsizing as his children had moved away few years before mine did . Instead I just smile and nod and ask him 'what his children are doing'? ..
As I politely nod and say 'how nice ', he feels the need to reciprocate asking me that question about my children .So I gleefully explain each of their careers .Sorry if it bothers him more that a brownie has more brownie points through education and he makes a quick exit, surely with an acute attack by the jealousy gods.
Oh if only his darkness could heat a few homes ...Why all this darkness , oh people , why indeed?
