I suppose it has always been this way globally, where some live really long, relatively happy and productive lives and others kill each other, commit suicide and make a total mess and die. I came out to the Hot tub with two Time Magazine issues: one has an innocent baby on it in white with the title: 'This baby could live 142 years: Dispatches from the Frontiers of Longevity.
Next to it I placed the latest Time Magazine all mostly in Red and Black with an ominous cover with an angry looking man with a black mask on his face like ISIS soldiers and Russian Separatist soldiers often wear to protect themselves and their families from harm by them being identified as to being who they really are.
But, in the end it is like both are sort of demonstrating they are bandits on the field of battle and not really traditional soldiers at all.
So, the real paradox of life on earth sort of came through to me in this moment of how crazy this paradox maybe has always been on earth of some living long, relatively happy lives and others living short tortured lives and dying horribly fairly young either through suicide or homicide or both at the same time.
It sort of reminds me of a tortured way to say Albert Camu's famous saying, "Those who can, Do".
And live to 142 maybe.
and yet others who kill and die young along with all those around them sometimes dying too.
Sort of sounds like a very bad drug cartel movie doesn't it?
Only in this case we aren't talking about a movie we are talking about real life.
