I don\'t know, dear poet
if you compare the past and the present
a lot has changed, but
depending on your perspective
it may be for the slightly better or much - much, worse..?

So true that we have not changed that much except that life expectancy is longer.

That treadmill can be so tiring, I came off it and walk at my own speed in differing directions now I am retired.

That\'s the highway of life John, which you envisioned here so perfectly. I turn 65 in December and in the process of signing up for Medicare. The transition between working full time and retiring will be a welcome relief. Fortunately I have many hobbies to keep me active. Great write John. 😊

Deities

Those human designed deities are meaningless, we each have our own Spirit within us that will take us to eternity.

Empyrean
L. B. Mek said:
\'Universal
knowledge.
Learning.
Bungee
bounce back.
Back to
the source.
Never ending
journey.
Next stop,
next challenge
one after
the next.\'
that\'s why, we need only
\'forgive\' ourselves a break,
progress, as to the rate of our \'gifted\' fate
accept, the distance
to our insurmountable mountain peaks;
then simply succumb to that veiled meaning, in our: \'Journey\'s\' worth..
I ask, genuinely
how conceited must we be
to reach for perfection\'s mirages,
when we\'re - yet, to embark on the path for understanding
which Questions: are Relevant?
\'Let us, instead
accept our limitations
and succeed in identifying, exploiting and exhausting
all our gifted opportunities, maybe then
our future generations, can begin to contemplate
why the word Empyrean exists, for a humanity
that has yet to unfurl the repressed wings, tucked blind
deep, in its own genetics and mind...\' lol
(I can never help my lol cynicism in humanity\'s unlimited capacity for self aggrandisement,
we dream-up our endless heavens and deities
just to curate our escapism\'s future where we \'deservedly\' seat among them, while
simultaneously we wage a war with ourselves, daily
to convince ourselves
the dishes, \'should really be done, tonight\'
and not left for tomorrow morning
that will inevitably turn to
tomorrow evening and etc.
our dance of ludicrous hypocrisy continues, to entangle us
forever - stagnant
in our cyclical \'progression\', of elite level wilful ignorance
hiding, fervently
from that question, we never contemplate proactively
what-if,
this life we experience - as limited and foiled by suffering, as it is
is all that we\'re supposed, to \'perfect, elevate: evolve within\'...
and nothing else!
(ah, what can I say
once more your brilliant insights have my qwerty keys dancing away, mindlessly lol
thank you for sharing and inspiring my little scribbled reply, dear poet)

Despotism
Paul Bell said:
Great thing about despots.
Another despot usually comes along and replaces them. A bit like British politics.

Lotus
L. B. Mek said:
\'Lotus.
Unfolding
flower.
Unfolding
realms.
Each different,
unfolding
differently.
Different
hues.
Hues of
existence.
Infinite
unfolding’s.
Floating
on the
endless.\'..
these words, unearth
that Lotus flower, connectivity
in the recycling
of Nature and Humanity,
that inevitable rebirth of universal matter
\'dust to ashes
ashes to dust;
petals to earth
leaves to wind,
birds to water
fishes to clouds:
that cyclicality in our commonality\'..
A great write!

Philosophy
L. B. Mek said:
\'Shackled by
reality.
Dancing
in a
small hall.
Dancing,
exploring
nonetheless.
Philosophy,
why not?\'
Because its easier, to reverse engineer
Nature
and call it, progressively commercialised Science...
(where as, we
intrigued by antiquity\'s
searching mindset\'s, continue our inherited questing legacy
for historically contexed, wisdom
gotta stick together,
endlessly/pointlessly toiling away, like that great gadfly, and excepting nothing more
than what he himself received, in the end.
but hoping, one of us
will find that important question, as a key
to answering humanity\'s timeless need, for the meaning
in anything and Everything!)

Many people are unaware that the answer to all computing scenarios is zero or one.
Maybe one day we will all be able to answer any question by saying zero or one. It will be easier for us oldies as we will not have to remember the things that we keep on forgetting.

Lies2
L. B. Mek said:
(thanks for sharing, and for inspiring my scribbled reply, dear poet)
its easy to look back and judge those from the past for believing too easily,
for allowing others to lie to them and lead them blindly..
but aren\'t we the generation of modernity, that shut down Life itself
because of a lab leak, that needed Fauci, his greedy \'Investor\'s\' and their zealot scientists:
to Lie and Lie and Lie and Lie...
so Science, doesn\'t get branded with the same \'cancel\' brush
as all-things seemingly fraudulent and Archaic, like having faith?
see, its easy to find the faults in the world
we all see it, even when we try to ignore it,
but it gets a little heated, when we try and find the Faults in ourselves,
you know
the one thing in our lives, we have Direct control over
that One thing, we All - Equally, in the here & now of actuality
have a chance of changing: for the Better...
Here\'s a Wild notion
how about we start, with stopping the \'Lies\': \'We All\'
tell ourselves?
\'gnothi sauton\'
yeah, they knew this sht two millenniums ago....!
and we\'re still refusing: to utilise it!!!!!!!!!!!
its all so inanely hopeless, and so depressingly deflating...
