"The Reality Disconnect" reads the heading of the recent NSRLP's Blog entry.
"How Hierarchical Decision Making is Holding Back Progress on Access to Justice in Canada."
The above are all awesome WORDS, configured in sentences.
Living in the woods, as I do, amongst the cedars, alders, fir, arbutus and maples, with perched Eagles squealing high on top of few remaining old growth, local ravens flying routine patterns to see if I've left them a fresh-caught Rat on my offering rock, and the growling sounds of over-wintering male Stellar sea-lions reaching up from the rocks below in the Salish sea, I reflect upon the 'Realities' of others.
I just came back from Vancouver, visiting my established, fortunate 2 sons, their caring wives and recently born granddaughter. But then there are the many thousands homeless, all of whom were someone's baby once. Upon buying a coffee in their 'locale,' a destitute young man is asking for a 'free' coffee.
As the young employee begins to explain, according to the company's 'protocol' she is not able to set that precedent, I hold up my hand indicating I will gladly buy him his $2.05 coffee. To allow the troubled youth a moment's 'bliss au cafe' is a pittance gesture I will not refuse. It allows me a cheap moment's sense of 'caring.' - I'm in the 'DEVELOPED' world here, for crying out loud! > A Reality Disconnect? NO! IT IS REAL!
MY reality is not HIS reality; their reality is not 'OUR' reality; the developed world indeed. With much effort, I have chosen to live in a place, within a closeness to NATURE > what's left of it. In my third act in life now, I pursue to manage and retain my own 'Reality.' The species is definitely on the brink of serious consequences. We are running amuck, there are clear signs everywhere; no question about it!
THE HUMAN RACE IS A MORPHING SPECIES! Intensely focused on GADGETRY, youth is lost in SELFIES and TEXT MESSAGING; verbal dialogue with those present is absent. All is quiet on the Western Front! I say: EARIE indeed!
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Any time I step outside my own 'REALITY' I glean more about 'OTHER' realities. Connectives with online services require close attention. Anonymity is flourishing. Fact and truth are up for grabs. Deceit is the new reality - get used to it. The need for survival is allowing for every area of thinkable deceit. It seems to be the necessity of a morphing species outgrowing its natural comfort zone.
Assuming that online contracts are anymore meaningful than a handshake, a wink, or a poke in your side > all is fallacy, a Reality that Disconnects.
MADNESS IS the new REALITY.
