The Dark Side of Humanity

Lost in a desperate mind world Seeking a sense of community and a need to belong through an innate desire to be whole again. But confused… The path nebulous. And through indoctrination either directly or unintentionally or perhaps inadvertently harboring a vision that individuality is the answer through a desire to see and “find oneself” but left with only a false mirrored reflection of who one really is. And one says, “It is my right!” hoping that it becomes “their destiny” but really is only “deluded identity”. And this desire gives life to the belief that one will find and understand oneself by way of separating from that “other”. The result… illness within then spreading to community for the connectivity link now broken. And without humility… there is little compassion. And without compassion… there is a lack of understanding. And without understanding… one becomes lost in ones own separate ways… severed from the natural world of community… exhibiting the dark side of humanity.

I was first struck by your ecology of poetry piece, and then kept reading with engagement, enjoying your deep felt integrity as resource, Sacred Source? But this piece, in particular, stopped me in my spacetime track, with appreciation, light of mutual compassion; so, thanks, I needed this both Here, and Now. GD

This is sadly true. " the connectivity link now broken. And without humility… there is little compassion." So true!

I believe we need to understand each other better than we have in the past.
