It looks so gloomy, is their work to do?

Oh fuck. i can not think of a better way than that to start a commentary on the world of today. Hurricane Harvey recently ransacked Texas and surrounding areas. It's whirling water wheel reached the area of Houston and decided to set up camp in a gesture that certainly seemed malevolent. Then, Hurricane Irma, cited as one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean, rolled across the southern North Atlantic, with egregious visits to various Caribbean islands, Cuba and Florida. Another hurricane is behind it, lurking in the shadows of its recent predecessors. This excess of wind and water has been accompanied by more than seventy wildfires burning in the western United States producing tangible and noxious smoke at least as far as the eastern front range region of the Rocky Mountains. And these are only the natural disasters. And this is only those events with direct and undeniably tangible effects of the United States. Part of me knows these things have been happening all over the world for as long as the earth has been spinning in its harmonious sway with the sun and the other planets of our solar system. Part of me feels the end of times upon us. The social situation in these environs- initiated by the events of early 2017 that finally motivated me to begin this blog- has not improved either. In fact, it feels like something genuinely evil is moving through and hovering, Harvey-like, over North America. So, what is the future telling us now? The most obvious answers are diametrically opposed but both would direct their attention to all the evil in the world. Some would consider the evil to be left-wing, liberal, green peaceniks. Some would consider the evil to be the gross mistreatment of the earth, her resources and her multi-cultural inhabitants. Either way, it seems most would agree that some group of humans are not good and are to blame for the current state of the world. It comes back to one of the themes recurring here in this blogsphere: the seemingly widening polarities in the social dynamics of the inhabitants of planet earth. This gap needs to be reconciled if we are to continue to progress as a species and as a culture and perhaps if the planet itself is to remain a viable abode for we humans. We hear the calls from the future to attend to our brothers and sisters, to our friends and enemies, to the winds and fires and water.

"Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. 7The LORD said to Satan, “From where do you come?” Then Satan answered the LORD and said, “From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.” 8The LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil.” 9Then Satan answered the LORD, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10“Have You not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11“But put forth Your hand now and touch all that he has; he will surely curse You to Your face.” 12Then the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power, only do not put forth your hand on him.” So Satan departed from the presence of the LORD."
