A-asking for a friend
On a geological timescale, yes
I take comfort in knowing that in a billion years or so, there will still be rocks
Eventually, I believe.
It’s up to us to survive and get there.
The dialectic will continue as it always has. People will be born, experience joy and suffering, and then they will die. Forces of liberation will come into violent conflict with the forces of privilege. You will participate in a brief moment in history, and then that moment will pass. Things will get better and worse simultaneously, while the dialectic churns and transforms the world. Monsters will rise to power, and then they will fall. Everything that appears solid will melt into the air, and new forms of being will appear, rife with their own contradictions. We will all do our small part to change things for the better, elevating the collective human consciousness and combating the injustices of our time. We will all be tempted to indulge and preserve our limited privileges, clinging to the familiar and comfortable. Even within us, the dialectic churns. We will make our choices and live with the consequences. And then we will die.
And everything will be okay
I can’t say that it will definitely be okay, but what I can say is amongst all the chaos there will be little moments where things are okay. Hold onto those and try to make as many of those as you can for yourself and for your community and that’s really the best you can do, I think.
It will be ok for some. It will be not ok for others. On *average *it will be less ok then it was yesterday by a tiny incremental bit…going forward…conceivably forever.
I don’t think so tbh
I just found out that it’s China’s National Day. So yes.
Yeah I celebrate Independence Day
Well for those of us trapped in the US…
it won’t be ok but it’ll be alright
Define “okay”
I don’t know, but I’m goshdarn trying to help make it so.
Things will be very not okay in most places real soon, sorry to disappoint you buddy.
It might be rough but we’ll get through it comrade
