Abuse is not "Fun".
In any so called civilized society, the people and environment it seems, as an apparent and
proven "fact" can only take being abused, manipulated and extorted by the market forces,
greed and excess for so long. How long? It depends. Twenty years? Thirty years? One hundred
years? Then at some juncture, if the state or some means of redress does not take action to
protect the people and or environment from their abusers, is revolution, anarchy or some
form of dissent or change not to be expected? Why though does society not understand and
learn this lesson and allows and even sanctions abuse sometimes, of the free and honest
peoples and of the good and fertile lands. Perhaps because the faces and names keep changing
and thus the accountability and cost is continually shifted and seemingly lost? Perpetually
though unless the vicious cycle of this abuse and such is broken or transcended somehow the
social fabric periodically and continually seems to unwind, as abuse is not fun.
Therefore it is said that let us not abuse one and other or our selves or the animals,
plants, land, air, waters or planet, for to do so would be folly and has proven to be
foolish, criminal and just plain stupid. Instead let us consider and treat one and others
and all as truly holy places. This asks a lot perhaps but it is a necessary truth.
