So I'm driving along today listening to this talk radio station discuss the implications of the tsunami on people's faith in religion and this and that, and it strikes me that yeah we just lived through a fucking miracle. The role of the mythological narrative throughout the ages of history is to relate the vehicles of doubt and fear and superstition of the unknown so these things don't overwhelm our daily lives. These things are instead packaged into a little corner of our lives to worry about them when we get all zealous and uppity and shit. Well, screw that. I mean let the fear and anxiety exist as a part of us, rather than the them/it/the Holy Him/Them/It and maybe we will actually make some universally beautiful progress as mankind. It is sad...so many people died in a matter of minutes and still the world seeks out some meaning, some mode to control it even though the event itself is over. Terrible things happen and that should remind us that no one escapes outta here alive, so lets make sure to enjoy it to its last drop. Just a thought...
