Chest Deep in the Wilderness

Everyone’s perspective of stuff can be different towards the same experience. Never assume anything. Your perspective is yours. It might align with other people’s—friends, family etc.—but it might not.

Do we turn our backs to the world because of what it has become….what has it become? A place for everybody? Or a place where debauchery seems to be running rampant, infiltrating people’s lives in the name of the government? The enemy…look at what we started! Rebellion is happening but not the way we thought it would. People are pushing and others are pushing back. They’ve got the general population against each other! That’s what they want…

Where am I on all of this? What’s right and what’s wrong? How can I possibly judge? Do I have to pick a side? Is this the wilderness? No certainty, no judgment, pure acceptance but I’m not! I’m … yeah, I am. Cuz I don’t know what’s right. What if neither one is? Could be. Is there another way? Both profess love, don’t they? Yes, they do. One, the love of God—with limitations. The other, just love for everyone. But, a place where anything goes? Is that right? Who draws the line? Who is wise enough to do such a thing? A human? NEVER! Maybe a relationship with nature–where we came from and where we are returned to. If we have that relationship with nature, are there still rules? Laws? There ARE laws of nature…it’s more scientific than anything. It can be explained scientifically, or can it? We can explain most of it once it’s happened. We can explain human behaviour for survival. What about the scientific nature of humanity? Stuck on that one…lol. There is no scientific explanation for LOVE! 

And here I go…what is love? Are there degrees of love? And which is greater? The love we have for our children or the love we have for our mate? Are these different types of love? So, when someone says, “love you”, what type of love is that? Or does that depend on who they are? And how do you judge that? I’m not going to say, “I love you’”, cuz I don’t know what it is!!??!? I don’t know what it means to you…what if it’s not the same as what it means to me? Then, we get stuck on definitions, degrees and perceptions…once again.

With all these ‘perceptions’ running rampant, is it any wonder that the world is going to hell in a hand-basket? People’s truths are out there smashing against each other. We are quick to judge these and respond according to our own truth. But, what if we’re wrong? All the criticism, all the hate, all the ignorance of what we don’t know…combine to create the catastrophe of fear and we respond…without all the facts…and we judge…based on our knowledge, our own reality. But, and I ask again, who are WE to set judgment on another? Without knowing their truth, how do we do that?
