We are overworked and overwhelmed. Greed is the root of this, and money is the symbol by which they justify all of the heinousness which this species commits.
If people paid attention, they would see the horror of what has been done to our earth, and to ourselves. But it hurts to look at it for too long. We all turn away for âhappy distractionsâ.
They arenât actually happy, they are just short-lived bursts of dopamine we give ourselvesâ an addiction to escapism.
But we never can escape, because it has hijacked our earth. We can all see the corruption, and yet we are all still giving our money to the meaningless, toxic corporations which funnel our money into the machine.
If we donât feed it, it will collapse.
When you recognize that booze is not actually providing happiness, nor is drugs, s*x, television, social media, clubs, concerts, or anything elseâ then you will stop running away from the now. You may recognize that you have been afraid to be here nowâ that you get jittery and anxious and try to escape from your self, from the act of âbeingâ. Try being and not doing.
The peace that you seek is always here now. Breathe and sit and let yourself inhabit this space. Recharge whenever you need to before you go back out into the distraction circus. Or stay here forever, if it suits you. You may find you prefer being conscious to âperpetually chasing distractionsâ.
