This makes it hard to work.
But it is an enjoyable way to be interrupted.
It has been a disrupted weekend with the puppy coming to live with us, but disruption isn't something to fear and at times, we need to embrace it. Change seems to rarely work out the best at the time, but perhaps in time what was negative can be a positive. And, what was such a great idea, becomes not so great as time wears on.
Time will tell?
Such a pithy saying. Time will only really tell if someone is paying enough attention over time to recognise and evaluate the change. But a lot of the disruption that impacts the most, is not noticeable as it happens, as it is so slight and incremental. It is only with distance looking back that we see how far we have come, or how far we didn't come. I believe that if we look back in ten years from today, we will have a lot of collective regrets.
We should have done better.
A lot of what needs to happen to get humanity heading in a better direction, is very disruptive. Yet, instead of making the changes that disrupt for better, we let ourselves incrementally slide into the worse. Bit by bit, each step closer, another nail in the coffin of our future. Eventually, we will have slid too far into the abyss to pull ourselves out again. Like the gravity of a blackhole, drawing us into oblivion.
Bleak.
I never mean to be so bleak, but it is generally where my mind wanders. This could be because when I write like this my mind travels into the darker recesses where more of my fears reside. For a long time my belief has been that while a few highlight areas improve, for the most part we are failing as a society. It isn't from watching too much news, it is from watching the way people act and interact.
When there is less humanity in people, humanity is failing.
I could be wrong. Maybe everything is fine. The environment is improving. The economy is improving. Society is improving. Opportunity it improving.
Humanity is doing fine.
Maybe this is why I agreed to getting a dog. Because at least my daughter and wife will have a little joy in their lives. I wish I could do more, but I my best isn't good enough. Is that reality, or fear? To me, it is very real. As real as it gets.
So I will take a little joy.
