In a span of just under a week, russia, china, and the united states have amassed on sides in the middle east. Poised to clash, the world watches, and waits. Ever since iran set off a small nuke on the outskirts of jerusalem, and israel returned with the same, the world has stood still. Entire militarys now sit on sides.
All of a sudden, all your ego just got.....obliterated. The sudden, realization, that you could lose it all finally begins to dawn on you. All your family, your dad, your mom, sisters aunts brothers uncles...In just those short moments of those nukes going off. It was all put in question. Just a week ago, life was normal and great. God hath "blessed me" as you cried out. And now....you stand here completely shot down. Realizing that you alone have no control over this world and how it's going to end.
In an instant. It can all be gone. Everyone you know you've called within the last week. The tv hasn't been off in a week. Work cancelled due to martial law. As you look outside at the neighbors, as some pack to leave, others have moved the big screen outside on the front lawn for the entire neighborhood.
Just like that, all the machine like movements of your usual day have frozen.
Now just a few minutes ago, a nuclear blast is being reported just over israel and palenstinian borders
Just like that....your life just got flipped upside down..... Just like that your heart gets to freeze simultaneously as chills run down your spine..... Just like THAT, your whole world just went into chaos.....Who you gonna call.....what are you going to do..... As you look our your kitchen window...... at the world for moments that seem a lifetime...... as you may never witness what you are seeing again.
All the thoughts that run through your mind in an instant....the memorys come back... Of your lover.... of those moments in revelations under the influence of psychedelics......
Running outside to the backyard, you look to the sky and see in the great distance, what look like 20 to 30 shuttle launches....which are in reality Intercontinental Ballistic missles.... as you watch them go up into space out of sight...you realize something....
These next, maybe 30 minutes of your life, are precious....beyond words... what are you going to do?

You could care less? How much less could you care?

Great post. I have though this through for some time. I would put on my favorite music. Get something great to munch. Get out the telescope and get down for the show. I really think I would do this, like Nero fiddling on the roof while Rome burns.

Either On the roof, smoking bowl, ingesting shrooms, drinking whisky.
Or Hiding away in survival mode.
I think circumstances will show to decide then and it's to keep all opportunities open until (then)

I quit worrying about something over which I have no control.

Hey Satan, many of us aren't interested.
What kind of bullshit is tihs?
the malevolent shepherd carries a scythe and keeps his corral in the precipice of fear incessantly telling them stories
armagaddon
boogeyman gonna grab you
nukes faultlines
God is gonna smite ya
his name is Satan surely though he may sometimes wear a hat with a cross, or a business suit, it's all the same jazz
keep people in this fear and they will do what they will, heil Hitler you dig?
-------------------- I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo! ....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...... Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!
