In India we have Modi who us similar to the T in that he is pretending to save the country by doing extremely rash ,yet decisive things . Stuff that in the surface seems to be in 'the greater good' but is really another raptor design .
And while taking about them both ,it just hut me. That's the reason we voted for him . Even sane people did despite knowing he was and is a fascist .
At some level every being on this planet knows we are at breaking pint environmentally ,socially and economically . So we all are voting in people who appear as if they can save us . Except in the psyche of may it is going to be a patriarchal figure who will be loud boisterous and express all the Fear ,Anger and Outrage that we feel but cannot voice . The monsters that we voted in are our own Shadows that we cannot keep suppressed deep within under the foil of normality anymore . They now occupy the highest offices and are there for everyone to see.
My first reflex is to drown out the reality of their existence by focussing on what I can do . But deeper reflection and meditation eans I am being drawn to accept ,feel into and transcend the shadows they represent .
I too am part of this socioeconomic system. I have blood on my hands as much as I try to deny it or shy away from it .
It's time I dug deeper and utilize this opportunity to realise that truth.
