Shore

A lot of times in my writing I deal with bottom lines. It's because bottom lines matter to me. I think about where you would reach in this country if you are a believer of minding your own business, doing your job honestly and diligently and taking care of your family. The truth is you'll reach nowhere. I don't like not being sure and I prefer surety of doom over unsure future. The problem in this nation is if you are a good person you'll always be unsure of your life of your future but sometimes you end up seeing the invisible system and it is where surety of doom comes in picture. Once the unknown has made sense, all the anxiety goes away. You realise God doesn't really exists, at least not of the kind we grew up believing in. If at all God exists, He or She is passive and evil is active and you have to derive your own strength from the passive God through your faith like drawing water from a well. In a political sense, you realise that this country doesn't exist and government is just an illusion and just an arm of the kleptocratic technofeudal oligarchs and it has to keep doing the bare minimum to keep the illusion. You realise that it's zero sum game in which if you are not a part of the system you lose everything and the one those who run the system gain everything. That this country is not a democracy but a technofeudal combination of numerous principalities where you carry the hierarchy of your principality wherever you go in the nation or the world. You, as you navigate the reality of this nation with people having different levels of knowledge and awareness, realise that those who are in power would do anything to retain their power and life of common people doesn't really matter, in fact they are actively preyed on from a level where most people think God resides. The machinery is shapeshifting in nature so everyone makes out or are given different reasons for their suffering, the origin of suffering might be local or can be relegated to diffrent part of the nation or the world and walks with the person and victim blaming, blame shifting and credit stealing are rampant. When one realises these things only the most authentic mode of being remains, things that can't be trademarked, nature and the night sky. In the past decade I ended up realising that what actually rules this country is not only predatory and entitled but also embarrassingly incompetent. This is the bottom line and once this is known what remains is intimately holding on to your real faith and having fun.
