Geopolitics.

Lets talk why a "ceasefire" in Ukraine might be on the horizon .

Trump acknowledging the following:

...and why NATO is considered a near "persona non grata in his eyes."

To take it further.

How amusing that one of the preconditions, a sort of guarantee that Trump is looking for, from Zelensky, so that America will give the "best protection" to Ukraine, is ownership of Ukraines nuclear plants.
Not that America did not have "ownership" , but in true Trump fashion...let's make it known and not leave it to supposition.

GRIN.

I wonder what sort of friendship shall develop between America and Russia should such ownership be possible and is this the start of a battle worse than seen to date. The Cold War child's play.

As to China...strides ahead in all aspects creating an "artifical sun"...

"-A Sun On Earth? China's Fusion Breakthrough Stuns Scientists ."

Playing God on earth, a step closer to a sort of annihilation we cannot fathom?

RB.

Conditioned.

How Conditioned we are. Even in those moments believing to break free from the mundaned shackled thoughts society is caught in.

A mindset once again dictated to by the "guru's " of good living.

Do this.
Do that.
Ignore this.
Engage in that.


I suppose that which resonates with ones inner self will take hold and be the first step to self realisation and freedom?

What is it that desensitises us human beings , a living emotional creature, to the beauty of life.

What is it that sends us spiraling into self doubt, ones worst enemy...critic.

What is it that also knows to make our ego narcissistic, judgemental , arrogant.

The reflection of self in others that catches our attention?

Conditioned beyond the basics of respect among all, scruples and morals , the value of ones word.

Conditioned... giving importance, acknowledgement and sustenance to sensationalism, the fickleness of bored minds ever searching for immediate gratification.

Greater value placed in the replaceable.

Confused.
Professing to have boundaries while allowing "modernisation " to redefine one's own limits.

All of a sudden surprised by the harshness of Mother Nature.

In fleeting moments to acknowledge a flower blooming, the sound of chirping birds, the scent of greeness, the feel of growing grass or a terrain dusty massaging the sole of ones feet.

Ai conditioning.

By whom?

Other humans ....."robotising" and siezing creativity, critical thinking, uniqueness making the outspoken and forthright pariahs and outcasts for the bubble of comfortable sheepdomship kept entranced in a state of "woke" confusion easily swayed and valueless.

No male.
No female.

Just it.

I know I am not an it...and never shall be as is no human being born and gifted a life.

Mother Nature...unstoppable. Uncontrollable as is the vast universe around us. Bigger than any human being playing god and designating values, titles and labels society with its fickleness, approves of or not.

RB.

The thing about humans is that we are the most modified species on earth. We definitely not like any other animal on this planet ... maybe we gods, or as the purport of some religions ... offspring of gods?

A name is merely a construct, an ego. RB is not real it's just an ego that Ms XXXX created to interact with in this community. Ms XXXX is also also not real, just another ego formed and fashioned over time to survive the reality she has to live in. The things about this modern world we live in, is that we can easily escape from the reality we born in and easily create new egos, maybe even closer to who we are, or want to be. Wrong or right, what does it matter, it's where we at as a species. Embrace it. The dissociation from the primary ego, the maintenance of multiple egos, the disillusionment, and finally the return to nothing, nobody, nameless ... where true freedom exists.

That's my sermon on this Sunday morning, lol

Coming to our clothes. If I wear blue and you wear pink, does that make me blue and you pink?

If we see our bodies as merely clothes, then why do we associate our identity to what we wearing. Do our spirits / energy have gender identities? If you partake in one of those religions that believe in heaven, will you be male or female in heaven? And if so, will women be equal to men in heaven, or will it be as on earth so will it be in heaven. If you'd like a religious view on this, scripture and verse, whatsapp me (as you know we can't talk religion on this site).

"It" ... I guess it's just a word when there is no language to describe what you are. Why be be bound by language?

I see our bodies as shackles. Weights placed on our spirits/ energy that holds us bound by gravity to this planet. When we die, and the chains disintegrate our spirits/ energy is set free. Whatever it may be, unless I believe that this life is it (nothing else out there), I certainly do not want to associate my identity to my chains/ clothes. That would be like slaves associating / identifying with their shackles, forever bound ...

And no, I'm not being "woke". Don't even know what that is. This is my reflection and trying to understand the question we all have, but none can answer... so we pacify ourselves with our meaningless existence by feeding our egos.

Hello J_J

Thank u for engaging!

Here goes...a few observations.

RB ain't no different from Ms.XXXX.


My work environment dictates my behaviour, not to my persona nor to my ego.

As to our bodies being shackles...again I disagree. The spirit knows the body is one thing and the soul another. To know to embrace both...well.
And here...yes a generalization as I am referring to those sound of mind and physically fit.


I feel sad if one imagines their life is meaningless and that is exactly what I was getting at.

How "woke" be the shackled that seek freedom where freedom already is?

RB.

Quoted-

"...Welcome to the 21st century
Where the forbidden is free but the truth is censored
Where the permissible is extremely costly, but corruption is dirt cheap
Where pizza arrives faster than the ambulance or police
Where losing a phone is more painful than losing dignity
where clothes determine a person's worth and filters define beauty
Where loyaltybis ancient history and betrayal is an everyday norm
Where honour is ridiculed and shame is worn like a badge of pride
Where money is the new god and greed is its highest form of worship
Where faith is mocked but immorality is entertainment
Welcome to this bleak era
Where lying is seen as cleverness
Betrayal is intelligence
Poverty is disgrace
And nudity is the height of fashion

Where the modest are labelled outdated and the arrogant are seen as bold

Where virtue is weakness deception is strategy
And loyalty is stupidity
Where the fake are adored and the real are ignored

Where influencers shape minds more than parents
Where a blue checkmark holds more value than a reputation
Where likes validate self worth and views define success

Where everyone is connected

Yet

Loneliness is an epidemic.

Welcome to the peak of deception in the worst era of human history
Where love is a business deal and commitment is too expensive
Where relationships are built on convenience not connection
Where people love condiitonally but betray unconditionally

Where marriage is mocked but casual lookups are celebrated

Where sex is easy but real love is rare

Where truth is offensive but lies are empowering

Where right is wrong and wrong is right
Where sin is entertainment and virtue is oppression

Where the weak are bullied and the wicked are praised
Where respect is bought not earned
Where money covers sins and power silence is justice
Where conscience is a burden and integrity is for the naive..."

And so it goes on....


How intelligent and progressive we are.

RB.

We live in a world twisted to suit the mass, the need for sensationalism , desensitised,

We talk about "old school" and shame it and call a borderless, boundary free mindset, forward thinking.

We call it keeping up with the times.

We excuse our vulgarity and admire the shameless attack on man, woman and child.

Pride...the biggest sin committed.

Coveting the success of another attained through their hard work .


Be true to yourself. Don't be shamed into silence or made to feel inadequate.
Stand your ground and KNOW you ARE more than just okay.

Like minded people always know to find each other.

And remember..

Again to quote....

"Have you ever noticed how easily words can be twisted, but actions are impossible to fake?"


Be weary of those who call you friend, yet will stab you in the back after spewing vileness about another.

If they can so readily throw another under the bus....know this, your time will come too.

Friendship is bigger than a bloodline ...it comes with choice and thus, choose wisely for they will be by your side in the darkest of moments even if family may not.


Friends are few...acquaintances can be many and people ...well, people are just people met in passing....nothing more , nothing less.


RB.

I have to share.

On Sunday listening to feedback of a few that made a journey down to the Eastern Cape looking to address youngsters in schools and share the Good Word.

3 schools were visited.

In one school it was scholars upto grade 8.

Here comes the heartbreak...

64 students have taken their own lives so far IN THIS YEAR ALONE DUE TO CYBER BULLYING AND BULLYING IN SCHOOL.

This tacit acceptance by society. This belief not to address bullying and the idiocy of saying if not mentioned and addressed, it will go away.

Tragically laughable.

In this case...

It all starts at home.

Recognise the signs in your younglings that are concerning.

DON'T be frightened to be vocal.

Be diligent in getting to the root cause of the anguish or change displayed.

Remember.

Knee jerk reactions can be stopped with a little care and interest shown.

That overwhelming feeling that one is alone, maybe feeling embarrassment unnecessary, maybe being blackmailed....understood instead of ignored or judged by YOU , will save a life....a most loved and dear life. The Devastating sadness on those left behind a bully does not care about nor will have sleepless nights.

Be PROACTIVE.

Even on a site like this.

NEVER EVER bow down to a bully.

I can take you a bet it is a mouse of a coward that finds power in being anonymous.

Let's unite and make bullying an abnormality rather than a norm.

Going back to the 64 children that took their lives in this year alone... that means approximately 12 kids taking their own lives every month.

My heart breaks.

THIS is my passion.

THIS is why i am never available on a Sunday morning.

To sit and listen and hear the effects of cyber bullying on young ones, even adults.

The stealing of their peace, positive mindset.
That knee-jerk reaction that steals them from their loved ones and they take their own lives

R2D4...YOU are an abomination. A vile sickness in society. I do hope none of your children or family ever resort to suicide.
And if that tragically ever happens...then remember...Karma is a bitch.

As to selective standing upto bullying and turning a blind eye to it...even more shameful.

Time for society to reevaluate the meaning of humanness.

Even among those one may judgementally label "dregs of society "

RB.

How swayed we are by mainstream media.
That which needs to take hold will be broadcast, hold one rooted and invoke deep emotion.

The perfect tool breeding insurrectionists, troublemakers, terrorists, armies playing god....the perfect tool to play with and, manipulate the psyche.

Where the absolute manic , come hell or high water will stop at nothing to bulldoze their way , looking for submission and recognition.

What is a right?
What is a wrong?
The basic principle of right to life no longer holds the same standing all thanks to boundaries being pushed beyond acceptance to ensure capitalism supercedes democracy and any other farcical label humanity likes to fool itself exists.

Who does one blame?

To talk about rationalising a wrong - allowing the very basic disrespectful behaviour of human interaction to be swept under the carpet, tacitly approving the obvious and then, to look to right it when it hits too close to home, dismayed at the devastation in setting such a wrong right that happens in the wake of such actions.

Quoted - Silence is complicity.

Some are more equal than others and wars fought are strategically engaged in , allies are formed ensuring personal wealth and who has to pay for it...will.

The people.


History is a circle that never ends...a book written over and over, the same story but with different names and dates...a common thread of segregation leading to deaths upon deaths upon deaths of innocent lives and their story is told through the greed , the cowardice and the price tag their country has placed on their life.


RB.

What a load of shit!!!!!!!
