Is the World Safe for Conversation Anymore?

I think your quote by Anais Nin
“Creation which cannot express itself becomes madness" ~Anais Nin
gives a clue to the way forward.
If we concentrate on creative pursuits then
(a). We're busy doing interesting stuff,
(b). The need to express ourselves violently, diminishes;
(c). The outputs from our creativity will make the world a more beautiful place, and
(d). We'll all be more pre-disposed to start having real conversations with each other about the creative process, rather than polemic shouting-matches.
Creativity is what connects us with the divine, and stabilises the human psyche.

Good point. What are some other systems that have yielded intended utopias?
None... The platonic utopia is a fantasy. It is impossible because humans are flawed. Plato's enlightened society had to be governed by "perfected rulers" with perfect moral standing and actions. This "idea" of utopia has been used by authoritarians to hide their true intentions of statist control. As the Christ said we have all sinned and will always fall short. This realistic philosophy is the only truth. Giving as much power to the flawed individual and thus the least power to the flawed state, as in the American experiment, is the best we could ever do. Probably why so many want to move to the US, because they have less individual control in their own country. And the reason why we must protect that as all cost, or the freedom experiment dies

These are beautiful points, Josh. I fear that things have slipped so far into the abyss that the best we can do is stand fast in our beliefs and hope that we are prepared for what is coming.
It’s a sickly world we live in when the abuse of children is openly mocked. The fact that it is happening says much about society as a whole.

So true.
Super Bowl Sunday was disturbingly laced with just that.

I would like to point out, it wasn't and will never be mocked by conservatives. Conservatives both black and white formed the antislavery Republican party...to fight for the downtrodden and currently are the main voices against child molesters. It is no surprise that conservatives are the main target by the media. As the media is the main tool used to cover up these crimes, as well as superbowl ads. It seems we are now living in Babylon. The wraith of the Godhead will come next, just as in the past. The Creator will have no mercy on those that harm children.

Breaking - The End of Silence
Cheaters never win
Silence isn’t always golden
For example
when the First Amendment
is muzzled
What do I know?
I’m just an American
I only witnessed
a stolen election
How can a felon
a rapist mobster
become president
How can ballots
be counted
after the lawful deadline?
How can we stand by
ruled by conspiracy
...and merely be silent?

It shouldn’t be a partisan issue. It should be a parents’ issue. Hopefully we all learn to fight for the children. 👍

the best we can do is stand fast in our beliefs
so it is said
But where is the belief in a better way of living
Where is the belief
that the system has to be modernized
upgraded CHANGED
Everything else has been
But the system we and our children
live in
Has not
Be you on the left
or the right
or in the middle
They are the same
Reality
does not live on paper
or in pretty speeches
on promises
that are always broken
with some sad excuse
REALITY
lives on the streets in the homes
of family's in the work place
We are being played by both sides
It's been happening
FOR YEARS
Why has the moral of our laws
not been enforced ?
Why has our justice system
not been modernized
upgraded
Why is it
We still have innocent people
in jail for 10 20 30 years
not guilty of a crime or offence
Why is it
That micro facial profiling
is not
in the justice system
How many
innocent people
Would this save
How many rapists and murderers
of children and woman
would not be on our streets
destroying the life's
of honest people
So these words
the best we can do is stand fast in our beliefs
to me are wrong
best we can do is Change our beliefs
instead of the same shit
year after year
Be you on the left
or the right
for us
the common men and woman
for honest people
Nothing Has Changed
were just dragging the past
into the present
This shouldn’t be a partisan issue.
This should be a parents’ issue. a people's issue
There should be no
Hopefully we all learn to fight for the children
We Fight for the Children
Or what is the point
For if we don't
Our children will learn
What we have Learnt
NOTHING
It's a funny old word
Truth
it's a word
you can camouflage
twist bend dilute
you can
shake and bake it
slice and dice it
you can spin it
laugh at it
you can wash it
with any pretty color
you chose
but when you
look inside it
at the core
The bitch ain't changed
she still remains
Cold
Unforgiving
in your face
not giving a shit
about your feelings
no mask in play
just the same cold
whispering words
what you see
is what you get
you say
you wanted
to know me
well here i am
have a nice life
funny old word
Truth
so it is said
But where is the belief in a better way of living
Where is the belief
that the system has to be modernized
upgraded CHANGED
