First I want to state that I am not an experienced writer, or much on bedtime tales or any of such, as this journal will clearly show. But just wanted to add this short bedtime or fireplace story for the Holiday Season. And what partly inspires this is many of the frustrations that I hear and read due to the current condition, and partly inspired by a series of dreams. So ... I wanted to add a little short story as a bedtime tale ... let's just say :-) **** Part 2 linked at bottom ... Enjoy!
Once upon a time on Earth in the early 21st century, the species and world was going through another periodic change, that happens every couple thousand years or so, where past mistakes and ways catch up and show their flaws, as well as need for change in direction. Even the earth goes through natural change over the thousands and million's of years, continents are always in motion as well as the waters, and jungles become deserts, seas become lands, etc. A time that was difficult as even past eras for many .... yet most beneficial for those who have power and wealth. Many of those with power and wealth didnt really get it through hard work and innovative thinking, creating anything, or even being heroes in battle victories ... but just because they had enough money simply to orchestrate a vision of what a Utopian society would be to them ... yet they forgot all those truly great people who were the backbone, creators, thinkers, scientists, and real heroes that made all this possible. And even since everything has it's price ... even the great energy sources that had us living so well, have even started creating problems that were not anticipated. Being that the warming of the Earth was accelerating melting of the ice caps at rates hundreds of times faster than would have happened naturally over a much longer period. But ... everyone wanted their cake and to eat it, and no one any longer wanted to sacrifice a thing of what they had ... or give to receive any more, and everyone's power and confidence went to their heads, they created mega religions to brainwash the people better than they ever were able to in past history, new mega medias and advertising, various biotech implants, computer generated mind manipulations, gimmicks and such, as well as institutions to educate them, and controlled them by keeping them all in debt, even still in debt from the grave ... the world was taking, taking, taking ... and giving less, and less and less. People wouldnt even control their usage of anything, and their waste, and regardless of starvation, and new diseases because of the climatic change that started to run rampant through the human species and even other species, natural disasters and such, they just continued hanging on to the past ... clinging to their flaws, and even still advocating to over populate for no reason other than excessive self gratification, labour replenishment, and keeping wages rock bottom and profits huge, etc. Continuing more and more to manufacture wars, not to free people, or to stop injustices, or to defend one's lands ... but to rape every resource they can from every land they can.
As time passed ... poverty, starvation, unemployment increased, debts that were never getting paid, and instead just being handed down to the masses while the majority of wealth ratholed all their monetary and minerals wealth to themselves, kept tight fisted and let themselves go unregulated with no discipline, while they were only concerned with regulating the masses and forcing more codes, morals, and responsibilities on them. They had now let their financial systems/ institutions be run strictly by nothing more than well educated thugs and programmes on computers that even milked the resources across the board more and more ... they lost all self control. Them and their offspring in power bought out all ideas, sciences, and everything they could, even using new sciences and technologies eventually to make their goal that "they only" would never die of natural causes, and/ or have facilities to protect them from humanity's ill actions and/ or any acts of nature on any catastrophic level, and even made their part biological and part technological replicas to carry on more of their ways, which the original species also revolted against. Yet still failing to respect the power of the universe and natural laws ... and still degrading the earth and it's inhabitants. New defense technologies guaranteed also more control and submission to their goals, even now controlling through more laws and regulations of/ on peoples communications and voices, with technologies watching and listening to every move people make. But none of them looked at the overall conditions and/ or consequences that come with it either when anything loses balance ... they were all too busy thinking one way only and not looking at the entire picture ... nor any longer thinking that risk and work get rewarded, but just how they do things, using old principles while the species and planet were changing.
Eventually after a continuance of bubble/ busts economics repeating itself now faster than they had even back in the 20th century ... their prepaid politics running out of minutes and patience, their power posse allegiance and affiliates failing and turning on now each other more than past, new groups of terror and revolt they havent anticipated sabotaging their pipelines, refineries, military and arms facilities, and using technologies to shut down everything from power grids to their most secured private environments and mega investments ... the tide started turning ... and it became time to pay the dues for all they have received, without giving or contributing a thing for it. Their education institutions have collapsed slowly, their stronghold mega religious empires were failing, and their weapons and technologies to control couldnt even go up against the now heavy populations that they themselves at a time encouraged and promoted. Crime increased, because many even decided that they didnt care if they were caught, because incarceration was food and shelter if anything, and when people started being asked to give up their lives when they got sick and old for a higher cause to humanity, even that faced mega resistance, no matter the propaganda they used to make it sound pleasing and rewarding, and the incentives offered during their last days werent even nothing ... they had just lowered the species to a point, where many would do anything just for a decent place to live and meals. Just how they created their new global empire as well, getting support from the masses, by saying it was for global unity, but was instead strictly for global domination by them, with no borders to limit their abuse and out of control and unbalanced greed.
While so busy the powers at ripping each other off, while entertaining themselves, the new breeds were thinking and catching up, forming new alliances and groups, making changes themselves to how they think and teach their offspring, and finding new ways to revolt and vent a wrath that the icons also neglected to anticipate, getting around all the new regulations, laws, and codes ... not being any longer devoted to their institutions, products, codes of conduct, force- fed morals, principles, or anything else that these icons created ... but instead decided to look at humanities flaws and make thing's more balanced. This eventually led to a new way of thought ... and those who did have this iconic power either played the new game, changed and downsized their power, or went down and lost all and failed. People just simply walked away from it and ignored it, abandoned it, and started a new way and world ... and finally coming to realize that those who been dictating had actually never nothing to offer, and couldnt even survive without them. The species reduced it's out of control population growth, and focused more on quality instead of quantities, a new splinter of the human species came about and evolved. The new sciences and technologies changed everything from agricultural to energies, reproduction, to how gravity would be defined. But the change was the uplifting part, learning to respect their planet more and now to give and contribute before they receive, and to pay in full across the board.
POST NOTE: This hasnt a thing to do with the bedtime story above ... but I want to point this out simply because over the next couple years, there will be a huge increase of this talk, alot of paranoia and such, and because it has been constantly over the last couple years or so brought up to me during small chat by local folks around town and in Texas concerning this
"2012 Event" with some read, video's, chart's, link's, and much more here . Look ... I will make this simple ... there is no talk from what Mayan studies/ arts have been so far uncovered (even though only a small fraction been uncovered, because of the difficulty in trying to access the areas of past habitats, because of the jungles, terrain, etc) , that the end of the world will be in 2012. Like many past civilisations who studied cycles, astronomy, astrology, etc, etc. Mayan's were simply masters of keeping time, and some of the earliest math related. I mean ... you didnt have much else to do back then but art (and the art is a beauty unmatched I may add), symbolism, written languages, etc. All these folks thought from their studies, is that life, stars, and such have cycles of change is all ... and we know from sciences that life does change on earth, and that there are cycles, always have been, a couple billion year's ago only, there was not much on earth as it is now either. As I write this, even with all the gloom science findings about species becoming extinct, there are ALSO new species exploding in numbers as well, many in the deepest depths of our oceans even. Of course, it's probably safe to say in a billion years ... this planet wont be in rotation around the sun as it is now, or that even this sun will still exist as is, that is just the change and expansion of the solar system/ universe, etc ... and also by that time, our species as we know it, wont even exist either. Worrying about these things is pointless, you may as well worry about the close calls, etc, with asteroids/ meteors ... and even after the supposed big one hit that wiped out the dinosaurs ... it wasnt the "end of the world" ... okay(?) ... life just evolved once again in different forms, and throughout even the thousand years or so of darkness proceeding that event, there was always some sort of life ... heh, heh, heh, heh, heh ... or we wouldnt be here! :-)
