    It always bothers me that professionals and experts have to call down to us at the bottom and make suggestions to us as to how to handle or deal with the world’s problems.

    The attention should be more focused on those that wield power and influence in the world we live in.

    We can’t do much down at the bottom because we are too busy trying to survive. Those at the top have all the power and influence to make our lives more liveable or more difficult.

    It’s not about self care … it’s also not about learning to feel better about our world … it’s about seeing and understanding that there is just a small group of people that are manipulating our world into the insecure space we’ve all contributed to.

    It’s like the parable of the blind men and the elephant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_men_and_an_elephant

    We keep talking about the bits and pieces of the problem … it’s this, it’s that, it’s over here, it’s over there … but we are never able to step back to see the whole picture of what we are experiencing.
