RE: THE APOCALYPSE

in #poetry7 years ago

Bleak but accurate of course. I don’t know the answers, hell, I’m not sure if I really know the questions either. We’re just humans and as such seem to have a proclivity for self-destruction and a willingness to take the planet with us. Is it greed or is it a deep-seated need to feel safe and protected? I’m not sure. I think we have it in our nature to survive, think Neanderthals and Sapiens, however surviving these days seems to mean taking something away from someone else. Sounds like greed to me.

But what do I know.

Thanks for your comment here @dissfordents. You’re a great thinker and I’m glad to have run into you on steemit.

Likewise @galenkp, you've proven that camaraderie can be had online, something I've always doubted. You're a straight-up guy, no airs. Maybe its because us "gun guys" have nothing to prove.

I really appreciate you saying so. My wife and I are reasonably private people and don't share a lot outside of our unit, have a small friends group, and focus on designing and creating our own ideal life and so all this sharing on steemit is a little new. Having said that I have engaged with some interesting people and have enjoyed doing so.

I appreciate people being straight-up with me and like to reciprocate which is what you have picked up on I guess. Relationships on the interwebs are funny aren't they? Back in the day of Yahoo Messenger people from across the world would fall in love and move countries only to find that the person at the other end was [surprise] not that person at all! However, when people engage with honesty, openness and in a forthright manner then I believe it's possible to actually get to know someone reasonably well without the fog of visual perception.

Thanks for your comment. Greatly appreciated.
