From chaos to kosmos

In the beginning there was tohuwabohu. Then God created Heaven and Earth and separated the land from the water. He was being creative, not knowing what would become of it. It was and is a process. I like the idea that we are still in that process. The more chaos, the brighter the silver lining. We are still in the middle of creation, it will never end. And by everything we do, we can influence the outcome. God gave us a free will, trusting us. Let us use it! In my mind, many things come together right now. If you listened to the news just these last days - wow! The hearings about Jan. 6th and all the testimony. Mr. Trump unhinged, but so many followers still denying it. Putin`s mafia state neglecting any humanity. Making innocent people die for his own power. Ghislaine Maxwell going to jail for 20 years, after Me Too finally worked. The patriarchy coming to an end, with the influential guys kicking and screaming. Mexican immigrants dying in a truck after some greedy people promised them a new life. The CLIMATE! Ocean pollution. Mister Bolsonaro cutting down more and more rain forests. Is there a common thread? Have we all lost our marbles? In my mind, I see something all this has in common. Don`t you? Who was in charge these last milleniums? Whose ideas were neglected? Just think about it.

Women`s Rights, of no interest

Did you see my facebook post of today, the day after the Supreme Court`s decision? I am really puzzled about America. Where is this going?

(Compare Art. 1, The President- He shall, He may, HIS death..., or in Section 6: "No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which HE was elected..." and "no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during HIS continuance in Office..."). There is one exception, though, referring to slaves: Art. 1, Section 9 says "The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year 1808, but a Tax duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person." Such "imported persons" could be both men

About the concept of war, and injuries, and the stupidity of it all

Once you acquire a bad injury and need the help of caring people, you are deeply grateful for them. They try to get you back on your feet, cheer you up, feed and pamper you. My old bed neighbour(my age, haha, old) even had a friendly crush on our young male nurse and made him sign her an autograph. What I mean is, this is an extraordinary situation and everyone is happy when it is over. But it is wonderful to get help, although you hope it will never happen again. Now imagine some old power-crazy guys, solitary, mistrusting, unloved men mostly, who need to show the world how mighty they are. More influence, more land is what will show their grandeur. They will not negotiate with their adversaries, no, only a war can solve a conflict! They build or buy weapons, form an army of (mostly) adventurous young men, and invade their opponent`s country. This has been the accepted solution since many centuries, even milleniums. Hitting your neighbours on their heads will make them (um, they are
