Too late, too late”

In comedy and comics, the adventures of humans are ridiculed and we all laugh. But they teach us less than we think since we continue to perpetuate the same mistakes, over and over again. We won’t get serious, we must keep laughing to show we’re happy (when we’re not!). We won’t apply history’s lessons to help govern our society. What happened in the past doesn’t seem to relate to today’s problems. We ask, “what has history to teach us about today? We’re do dazzled by technology that we ignore any matter if it’s not interesting enough. But here we are in 2010, overwhelmed and feeling as though we are standing on the brink of an abyss, without a hand to hold onto. We feel abandoned so what do we do? We wait for things to change, we don’t initiate them. It feels safer to stay as we are, with no change. We continue to believe that human-domination is the only way to go, sort of … maybe … and we act as the kids did in Lord of the Flies, giving in to the savage in us. We refuse to let history shake us up. We are determinedly modern and to prove it we destroy our relationship with Nature and often with one another too. We are still determined to be the dominant ones … but the clock tick on. We face an up-coming challenge to our ‘empire’ mentality and most of us would like to think we could rise to that challenge when it comes.
