I believe we are starting to feel the effects of something that comes closest to singularity (where all laws and logics fall apart and flux and unpredictability rules the day). On the other hand a big chunk of the population of earth is sinking even deeper into the material and rigid layers and doesn't feel anything.. or at least they persevere into their wishes that everything will be back to normal before we know it.
There was a time when I had plans for my entire life, then for the next 5 years, then for the year ahead and now when I see the futility of having life plans in the light of everything that has come to the surface.
So many changes, so much knowledge and heightened awareness and yet so much separation and even more unpredictability. Where does it all lead us to? Read the very good book "The black swan and the impact of the highly improbable" and you can understand why we simply can't predict the next few years with any certainty.
We know where it all ends, we can feel 'something' is definately happening but I don't think anyone can say with any certainty where we will be a year from now, much less 4 years from now. The best we can do is be extra aware each day of all the sources of information and gauge best with our intuition as to where our individual paths lead us to. |
When you "throw in the towel" and decide to stop planning your life, how is that going to help things?
You can still do what you want in life but you just gotta keep all of this stuff in the back of your head and remind yourself when choosing what you want to concentrate on.
Should I just give up on my dream of brewing beer because it looks like the end is coming? I would rather try than not try at all. Should I give up on my life already? No way.
Just a few words.
