Love of Life
Life is a hundredfold more inventive than any human fiction. With dark humor as the goddess Kali likes. Just listen to the tale spun by MrBallen. You can’t tear yourself away.
So when a friend from US asked about my forecasts for the future, I replied: “Right now, anything’s possible. Seriously, everything.”
In the theory of self-organization, there’s this thing called a “bifurcation point.” It’s when a system is on edge, super-sensitive to fluctuations. It can plunge into chaos or leap to a new level of orderliness. All scenarios are equally likely.
My take? The human population is walking a tightrope. Not the first rodeo for Homo sapiens, right? So, there’s hope it won’t be the last.
Immunity against the viruses of ideologies lasts only a generation or two. Then, the mass consciousness has to catch the bug all over again.
This time, though, technology took a giant leap. But humanity’s moral growth moves slower than a plate tectonics. Teenagers used to toy with a pocket knife, now it’s a laser in their hands.
I don’t know why I’m at peace. After all, there’s still a chance for a constructive scenario. Last night, I reread Jack London’s “Love of Life.”
“He travelled in the night as much as in the day. He rested wherever he fell, crawled on whenever the dying life in him flickered up and burned less dimly. He, as a man, no longer strove. It was the life in him, unwilling to die, that drove him on.”
See? I believe deep down humanity loves life.
Sincerely yours,
