stereotypes of the collective consciousness:
the world is not going to end
its going to begin ending
ending doesn't go anywhere
it stays right here and doesn't leave until its done
and then we all have to go with it
-----------------------------
none of these catastrophe and loud noise scenarios
its going to be much worse
how much worse?
so bad that i have reach a creative brick wall on this reply
this would have been funny or humorous and thought provoking
but now its just nonsense and time wasting
why am i still typing?
on second thought, why do i always have to blame myself for bad posts
you, the reader, should have smelled garbage 2 or 3 lines ago
and should have just clicked out of here
ecological garbage
the kind that kills a planet and makes it really depressed and
recessioned
and that's a horrible segue back to the thread about a planet about to
kill us
how about the mouse just attacking my keyboard right now and stopping
this horrible mess of a reply
before its too late
--------------
looking back at this reply
it wasn't too bad
i didn't get to the meditation to any depth
i didnt' fulfill my purpose
who cares
that's probably why the planet is going to die though
because no one cares that people like me are just wasting other
peoples time with finished tasks
just wasting our time with trivia and nonsense
entertainment for the sake of entertainment
and not for attainment
