Trust In Those Who Know

Too many know what they don't know certain of it – have faith in others knowing even less but think they know more – a bunch don't care to know not wishing to do any of the heavy lifting too much wasted brain work if some know already who say they know – Putin says he knows so Russian soldiers murder and rape – Xi knows so the Uyghurs must go tortured organs harvested from the living – Joe knows so his son is made rich dealing with Xi and Putin who know – trust in those who know for what do we know – young boys worshiped priests and now know years of therapy and shame – crack addicts trust who know the best stuff their blood and bones disintegrating beneath poisoned starved shriveling flesh – therefore what do I almost know besides not trusting those who trust in those who know what we don't really know – those on US Southern border know victims of crime in defenseless cities know – or do they I would like to know someone please tell me

You've certainly pointed to the all-too-human tendency to deny, distort, and pervert what used to be known as 'objective reality.' Putin, Xi, and JB, in my opinion, all in the tradition of the Grand Masters of the 20th century: Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. Their blinders firmly on, they 'see' with their crooked hearts. Kudos, Gershon

I hear you, Gershon; sad how we keep coming back to the same ruts in humanity. Blessings my friend.

Great write! Great questions…our world needs more questions and less of tell us what to think. Too many things pervert the mind, life, our sense of peace.
