Thought Gaps

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     I wondered if one could think philosophically about the improvement of the human condition without getting entangled in the realm of politics. Then I began to laugh at myself, because this is what most of my writings stem from. Realizing the link between politics and the human condition. Much of the suffering and survival of the human species is dependent upon political activities. There are historical examples such as wars, mass genocides, atrocities committed, colonization. Even what we have lived or living through, such as; civil war taking place in Syria, where children are orphaned, death, destruction, including Gaza, Palestine, the refugees that are being produced. Even the border crisis that is taking place with inhumane treatment of vulnerable children at the U.S / Mexico border, port of entry, Texas. We often take for granted that we have a pillow or a cushion to lay our heads on, as we rest to sleep. In some cases even this possession is considered a luxury.

     There is an inherent connection between politics and the survival of the human species, however; I do think that there are points or gaps within our thinking where we have to take the time to separate the two topics. This is so that there are allowances to think, and imagine the improvements for the human condition. Without thinking about the connection of all humans as one human race, or pockets of populations in various nations that continue to suffer, an how they could continue to survive, we loose that sense of hope, optimism, that truly we can make our tiny contributions to leave the human condition a little more improved that it is. We were never really born to change anything. We were born to create, to add a little piece of ourselves to the world.
