Another day circles itself and spreads thick on the toast that is LIFE.

Well, that was too strong a start. Where do I go from here? I can only smear myself like the jam on the wall as the breakfast flies in all sorts of directions. Forsooth, and all that other junk.

At least it’s calm in here… for now. Perhaps I will be followed by my words and I’ll be forced to eat them in a way that suggests some sort of malfeasance. I don’t know. I don’t know anymore and I don’t know anything, but at least I’m here, comfortable, and pretending that everything is all okay and all things will work out in the end. They won’t, but they might. You never know with these things.

Well, it takes a lot of proactive action and outreach and education, and it takes a lot of pushing for more progressive and empathetic ideals and policies and all those sorts of things for things to work out in the end. It takes a lot of work, and if enough people do, then it just might.

I’d like to believe that I know why a lot of people out there are against progress and I think it’s due to them seeing things in the sort-term and being rather selfish about what they have. People don’t like to let go of power and wealth and all that. But truly, there are a lot of reasons as to why people are like that, and it’s difficult to convince someone that progress toward supporting more than a select few if they’re not willing to be wrong. Such is the way of things I suppose, but it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s not a good thing, but we still need to try where we can.

Realistically change is inevitable, and refusing change that is centered around genuine progress leads to the gradual erosion of that which is around us. You get caught in it all, regardless of your feelings on the matter. Just, if people resist progress, they generally end up dragging quite a lot of others into the shit so they can be a happy chappy for a short period of time.

I’m pretty concerned about the next few months. I’m worried about what is happening over in The United States of America, and I don’t think it’s going to go well. I’m worried about another Trump presidency, and I’m worried that people are willing to overlook what he has been and is associated with, and things he has said in order to vote for him because they are people who don’t believe in the consequences of their actions. At the same time, I’m worried about a democratic presidency as too many people are willing to rest. Progress doesn’t get to take a break. It takes a lot of work and it takes a lot of time, and without that effort going in, it doesn’t go much of anywhere. It mostly stops.

The time it took to write five-hundred words: 10:33:08

Slow, not great. Still, less stilted and messy than usual, so that’s a plus.

Written at work.
