A recent trip on Facebook made me realize how strange, odd, and even marvelous that social media platform is. It also made me realize I don't need to spend much time there. Enough to see how some friends are doing and ignore 97% of the rest.
It reminded me of a lesson we all learn in math. In the known Universe, a positive and positive equal a positive. A positive and a negative equal a negative. And in all cases, a negative and a negative equals a negative. I'm not sure why anyone would go on Facebook or any social media to add negativity to an otherwise very negative situation.
I'm not a saint nor anyone perfect. Mea culpa, I've added my oil to the fire when the economic monster was rolling along smoothly and most people shrugged it off as a "necessary evil" -- whatever that means. But lately, I've had plenty of times to reread Daoist texts, as well a Hermetics, and many others. With all the changes happening in our society and how a virus has brought the world to its knees, I wonder how adding negativity to a negative situation helps?
I know. What a strange post. Perhaps, that's what life is all about. Realizing the obvious, writing it down, and anchoring the light within so that it continues the swell of that light wave washing over the world.
