Dictators and Addictions

"Bright Comet Night" by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez-  I think that if I were a fly on the wall of history I would see that in each time in each generation there are groups of people that fall for a dictator like a bad addiction.  And like a bad addiction at first with a dictator it is a sense of salvation and instant love then the realization that love has turned to dependence then oppression and love is now the realization of hate.  This addiction to dictators is not, I think, a cultural, historical or racial phenomenon but is simply the result of natural forces and their natural laws.  Are not we all at one time or another in history subject to this dictator addiction regardless of race or culture? Who today have or in the future will fall prey to this, and what can we do, as a species to offset this if anything?  Perhaps we should treat this as we treat other natural phenomenon by trying to understand it and any natural laws that govern it. These moral forces are not just hap-hazard circumstances of fate but follow natural laws that can be defined and calculated like the other forces of nature such the electromagnetic force or gravity.  If we can understand the moral and emotional forces that govern us then perhaps we can learn to do without the social addiction of dictatorship.

It's Still Strange

"Mitosis" by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez- It has often been said that life is funny and it is that, it can also be sad, frustrating and full of joy.  Life can be all those things and more but most of all life can be odd which is what most people mean when they say life is funny.  It's odd, sometimes very odd.  It's not just the twist and turns of fate that can be odd,but the people and animals and what they do that can seem odd at first but often when you see what they've done and why they did it at the time then sometimes, quite often, it makes sense.The universe also makes sense the more we understand the laws that govern that universe and that that's in it.  Perhaps if we came to realize that all things follow natural laws, even morality and emotions, then the world might not seem so odd after all.  But it's still pretty damn strange.

Happy Life

"Jungle Temple" by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez- As we travel the path though our lives we go though many different stages with many different wants, thinking at the time that the fulfillment of those wants would somehow make us happy or fulfill a desire within us for a good life.  While a good life can mean a lot to a lot of different people, and much has been said by many on this topic, for what it's worth I decided to throw my two cents in from a bit older perspective, after the shiny has been rubbed off life.  I will list some of the "rules " I've learned though the years for a good life.  You might call these Happy's rules for a Happy life!  I do not think so much of these as rules but more as just following the natural laws of nature.
