Interesting outlook on life.
Most of us are running scared. It doesn’t take much for life to throw you some curve balls.
We never know when we will have an interruption in employment income. On the other side of the ledger, we never know when we will face an increase in unavoidable expenses.
Here are my unplanned expenses for 2023:
- Assisted living expenses for my mother. My sister and I split $60K/year expense.
- My de facto mother in law has care of some of her grandchildren and can’t work. My SO and I cover $2k rent a month.
- My daughter is in college. $2k a month.
That’s $108k a year in relatively unplanned annual expenses. My point is, when you see somebody scrambling to maximize their income, you have no idea what they are facing. Are they fat and greedy or fat and generous, to a fault? You have no effing idea.
I would never put passengers or crew in danger, but don’t ask me to have faith in the FAA.
I "liked" your post because your second sentence it SPOT ON.
Current human reality IS, by and large, a constructed "reality" driven by fear... Based on the sale of fear schwag.
Now, it's hour come round at last, that fear is suffuse, not just in Bethlehem, but everywhere. That fear is, largely, unopposed. That fear is creating yet another religion - another rough beast.
Fear is contagious and Fear is easily transmissible because... Fear is a disease.
Like most diseases (read: dis-ease) that makes fear ripe for Snake Oil salesmen to sell to the intellectually disconstitute and the spiritually incontinent.
Recall the words of Yoda: "Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to Anger. Anger leads to Hate. Hate leads to Suffering."
FEAR and GREED by Form810 (mentored by RF)
Some say the world will end in fear,
Some say in greed.
From how I’ve felt folks dis-cohere,
I’ll hold with those who favor fear.
Yet, if't had to perish without need,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction greed
Would also rate
And would succeed.
