What are human rights and where do they come from? Everyone probably has a different and unique answer but I think we all share a common stance on the question. We all can acknowledge that we have rights as people but I think we disagree on what rights we have and how we have them.
Sometimes nothing happens then suddenly everything happens all at once. That is what the past few weeks have been like for me. I started the studio a few months ago and after an initial flurry of work things kind of dried up. Now I am back to having more work then I have time to do it. Lots of things in motion and it feels great.
I know that every generation thinks it is living in the end times. This is a phenomenon as old as civilization, everyone feels that collapse is imminent but it rarely happens. Apocalypse features in our media through out time. Religions have scenes of it in their holy books, writers and poets have been imagining it and we continue this trend. Maybe we do this because we are so aware of our own mortality that we feel a need to apply it to civilization. Or maybe it is just idle fantasy, imagining the fall of all that we have built.
My life for all theirs. Is that what this is? Selling ourselves so others can experience joy. Being told what to believe and what to think and what is and is not okay. Being told that it is our fault while they dance on the ruins. We are doomed.
Life when you boil it down to the component parts really has no point beyond the biologic imperative to continue the species. Life is survival and reproduction. This is how it is for every other species on the planet, they exist without a point. They don’t need one. We, humans, the cosmic accident are the only species that tries to find a point in all this.
