The Best And The Worst
Words in the world are
Drum roll, please……..

Best: Solipsism
: a theory holding that the self can know nothing but its own modifications and that the self is the only existent thing.
– m-w.com
Worst: Justification
: the act or an instance of justifying something
– m-w.com
Solipsism is like creation or the big bang. It can not be proven or disproven, yet within it, both or neither may exist as one’s imagination deems necessary or interesting.
To occupy otherwise empty cranial real estate of an egocentric species with delusions of grandeur that they alone, through opinions or complacency, can solve all problems.
Narrowed down to blind consumerism that happiness will be achieved with the many “last” purchases of, if I buy this new car, new house, new mattress, new clothes, new toaster, new tool, new jewelry, new hairstyle, then I will be happy and at peace.
Or maybe if we add a new baby, a new puppy, change job, change spouse, change gender, change religion, change tax bracket, etc.
In either a solipsistic existence or a subjective / objective one, justification is usually used to quantify bad behavior as being acceptable as long as it is self (ego) justified.
What? Gas is going to be over $10.00 a gallon unless our tax income revenue publicly funded terrorist organization has to bomb a few hundred thousand people to prevent that. Hmmm.
I am opposed to war. However, I am more inclined to be opposed to paying $10.00 a gallon for gas. Guess I will turn a blind eye on this one, till something even more morally reprehensible comes along. Besides, the blood isn’t really on my hands. See, I even washed them in the Pontius Pilate sink. Me, I am merely working to feed my family and pay my share of taxes that……..Ooopsie. Sorry.
The worst of it is when alleged leaders of countries (usually controlled puppets of corporate greed) inform their masses, that ritualistic human slaughter must occur, under the guise of defense to “save” their lives and or lifestyles of the populace.
Simply by pointing a finger, through verbally demonizing dialog, that otherwise similar bipedal earthling artists pose some kind of vague perceived threat. Usually, under the pretense of clever distracting false flags.
“That’s the way the ruling class operates in any society. They try to divide the rest of the people. They keep the lower and the middle classes fighting with each other so that they, the rich, can run off with all the fucking money!
Fairly simple thing. Happens to work. You know? Anything different–that’s what they’re gonna talk about–race, religion, ethnic and national background, jobs, income, education, social status, sexuality, anything they can do to keep us fighting with each other, so that they can keep going to the bank!”
– George Carlin
Whether one lives in a subjective world or a solipsistic one, justifications seems to do the most harm, because they usually twist reality into bizarre means of cruel behavior. When objectively the external cruelty returns back on one’s self.
“Blood On The World’s Hands”
“Sometimes it makes me wonder
Sometimes it makes me question
Sometimes it makes me saddened
Always it makes me angry but…
When you can see it happening
The madness that’s all around you
Nobody seems to worry
The world seems so powerless to act…
It’s out of control
Blood on the world’s hands
Each day a new toll
Another assassination
The same day a new creation
But what are they coming into
Security of a world that brings…
One day another killing
Somewhere there’s someone starving
Another a savage raping
Meanwhile there’s someone
Laughing at us
It’s out of control
Blood on the world’s hands
Each day it goes on
Brutality and aggression
Tomorrow another lesson
Expecting another air raid
Praying for a ceasefire
They say things are getting better
No need to be complacent
There’s chaos across the border
And one day it could be happening to us
It’s out of control
Blood on the world’s hands
It’s our epitaph
It’s out of control
Someone should know
Blood on the world’s hands
Someone Should”
