Why are people so rarely seen to openly fight
against the mental health issues that oppress them?
Because to fight in open sight
they have to see that far past
what obstructs them
that those obstructions appear
as if they were never really there
in the first place.
The history of being on the wrong side of history
is a long one that has been told many times,
and has been told about many nations
who refused to see the writing on the wall.
And yet the citizens* of these nations
always refuse to believe it at the time,
nor do many others believe it after.
*These 'citizens' knew they were nearer
to being subjects than to being citizens
but they prefer the false flattery
of 'citizenship' because it sounds nicer.
When you are petting a pet, a dog or a cat,
then pet them with the same attentiveness
with which your pet receives the affection
that you are giving them.
You will be more in tune with yourself
for your being more in tune
with who you seek to be in tune with,
as you and them purr and relax.....

Historically, humility is strongly linked to 'Christian virtue'
as in so many sermons it is used to make asking for less
a signal of virtue, whether it is sensible to do so or not,
never mind wondering what spiritual health might be
and how easily so many wealthy Victorians imitated
what genuine Christian humility had once been,
and how they never foresaw how imitation becomes self parody.
But there is a real, natural, value to humility
-it means that when the world does not give you
what you wanted, directly, and offers you
only what it wants, then you can understand,
and appreciate what it is that you have been offered.
When fishing becomes a problem
due to it becoming over-fishing
then it seems like nothing,
compared with fishing ports
becoming overwhelmed
and de-natured by tourists
who have nowhere else
to pursue their pointless existence
of having less time and more money
then they have a practical use for.
But the fish no more invite the fisherman
to take too much than the ports invite
the redundant life of the tourists.....
