Aren’t we all God’s children?

[Apparition of Jack]

Excuse the religious imagery but feel free to interpret that phrase whichever way you suits you.

But fuck, I can’t believe this feels like such a radical idea these days. I don’t know about anyone else, but I remember growing up in the 90s and 2000s and being taught that democracy works, that every person has value, that racism is cruel, etc. 
 

I feel like the basic lessons we learned from WW2, the Civil Right’s movement etc were all self-evident and that it just made pure human sense (as well as being the right thing to do) to build a world that cares about everyone, regardless of race, gender, class, sexuality etc.

I seriously struggle with how alien it feels this belief has become. And I’m not even saying we have to build some sort of utopia and all sing kumbayah, obviously there’s room for nuance. But I feel like the most basic and human impulse has always been to just look out for one another coz otherwise society goes to shit.

I mean, if you DON’T think everyone is deserving of basic decency, aren’t you just saying you genuinely want a more cruel world? Aren’t you saying youre OK with violence and oppression if you personally benefit from it?

It screws me over just thinking how corrupt and cruel so many millions of people have become. It’s genuinely incomprehensible to me. 
 

If you don’t want crime, you feed people right? If you want peace, you talk to people different to you in good faith right ? So why are we so quick to resort to condemnation and violence? It’s like there’s this sick, twisted undercurrent where people actually REVEL in misery. Not just the usual “well you have to be cruel to teach people a lesson” nonsense, but actual “I want as many people to suffer as possible for shits and giggles”.

Help me out here guys. Why the fuck did we get so evil? What the fuck is so wrong with our lives that we need to turn into absolute cretins against our fellow man? We don’t lack resources. We don’t lack ideas. We’re just become absolute monsters for no goddamn reason.

 What the hell do we do?

Allan Watts once said: "What we call history is nothing more than those who know they are God abusing those who don’t."
