A cult sci-fi saga returns to spotlight our obsession with collapse. But not all places spiral downward. Pepe Mujica’s passing is a mirror held against the rat-race society.
I liked it that during the pandemic the Italian dock workers didn't go to work when ordered to take covid shots --- in the end there is no true power in a despot/despitism if people won't work "with" them.
To be honest ... I loved this ❤️ 🙂 .
If we can remember this and repeat repeat repeat when authority forgets.
P.S. - I'm sorry about all my hearts in my comment above, I was moved by your memory shares about Jose Mujica. For me, the idea of collapse is perhaps obsession with fear and staring at fear and thinking about talking of and perhaps predicting fear, in an effort to overcome the PTSD of tragedy and to feel safer. I live offgrid and I'm less immersed in my fears today but its scarier to live outside them. MUCH happier, and best, for me. But why is the craziness and violence surviving still, because people who prey need others to agree to be preyed on. Or, like your friend Mr Jose Mujica, he walked out of it all ❤️ .
You don't have to be sorry about hearts; I really appreciate your comments. Sometimes we feel compelled to write something on some piece, but let it go or just get called to do whatever, and the moment is gone, so thank you for leaving the comments. José Mujica comes as a person who has had many lives and possibly many rough moments; I want to learn from those who have overcome difficult moments of doubt in life and learn to evolve and get better for the benefit of themselves but also people surrounding them. Not surprisingly, these people don't seem to hold grudges or serve others for the money or the sake of power. In our moment in time, Mujica seems out of place, almost too good to be true. That's because people who go into high-stakes politics (that is, beyond the local realm, where you can find decent people) are in it for their own benefit first and foremost. I have the feeling that we have been lucky so far in recent years, given the obvious lack of good people in positions of responsibility in high places across the board, because if something really bad happens, the lack of a moral compass at the top is very concerning.
Thank you 🙂 ,
Beautiful shares about José Mujica ❤️
