Easy World: May 2011 Archives
This afternoon,
I was sitting in contemplation of a situation that pretty much anyone
who has been indoctrinated into Difficult World (and that's anyone who
was reared on Planet Earth lately) would find scary. I don't really
want to discuss the details, but I'm guessing there are few folks who
wouldn't have their Difficult World Dictator jumping up and down,
frantically waving on a constant basis, trying to hijack their energy
and focus into fear in light of such circumstances. In fact, I'm quite
sure there are millions of people experiencing this right now.
So, as I was saying, I was relaxing and thinking about the (potentially) scary thing and I was in total peace about it. No fear. No apprehension. No passion about it whatever.

You HAVE to be afraid or you don't get to be a bona fide member of the human race. You have to DO SOMETHING PRACTICAL TO CHANGE THIS!!! NOW!!! I don't care if you're inspired to or not! Something, ANYTHING!!! It's IRRESPONSIBLE OF YOU TO NOT BE AFRAID!!!"
