Thank you Steve for that beautiful perspective, as always.

That reminds me of a quote :
"The only thing we learn from history is that we don't learn anything from history. "
--Unknown

We often fool ourselves thinking that time is linear. And as we go through that line, we are improving.

Yes, we are advancing our technologycal madness. That is the only" progress " I can see. And most of the time, we are doing it by destroying our planet.


For the rest, life is not governed by a linear dogma.

Life is a succession of patterns in some cycles. 🌀

We are doomed to repeat the past. We are pathologically hiding behind our selective amnesia.

As long as that amnesia is helping some of us sleep well at night, nothing will change.

As long as that amnesia benefits those we systemic advantages, nothing will change.

As long as that amnesia is the nectar of the new gods, nothing will change.

As long as I accepted that I am Black, and call myself Black, I have already lost. Look at all that is black in the universe. Everything is dark.

As long as I call them White, I am giving them all the benefits of the light. Look at the white in the universe. Everything is bright.

Life is not White or Black. Life is a quantum bit.

Life is in the shades in between.

Life is being human, right?


I am not Black. I am Chocolate. You are not White. You are Lemonade.

This is all just a game. There is no winner or looser. There just players who will be eliminated by the infinite game of life.

As always, thank you Steve for that beautiful perspective.

Repeat. 🌀
