The State of our Being

Today during a call ue discussed how this has gotten so bad. Now. Why?

The answers are so depressing I was in tears.

What has taken so many years'to get so messed up can’t be fixed overnight, if even at all. At 57 I can remember when things began happening that brought change to our world, how we live, what affects us. I remember a time before these things began and I wonder why we ever needed them to begin with.

I’m speaking of food additives to make groceries last longer, when we already knew canning preserves food for years. Chemicals sprayed on crops to kill bugs as a short cut to natural ways of covering crops. Mass production called for these things. Produce more. Sell more. Make more money.

I remember when it was exposed how cows were shot up with chemicals to make more milk and faster. To get bigger to create more meat. I remember when it was exposed how any protein we ate was from an animal forced to live in a box it’s entire life. Food in, milk and eggs out. Then killed for their meat. What the hell were we thinking? In what human mind was that okay?

I remember when the medicine we ever had to take was the rare occasion we had a fever. All I knew existed was Tylenol. Now there’s a drug for everything they can think of EXCEPT the ones that would cure us. How did we get so out of control that businesses making money on drugs was more important than our health?

I remember when we didn’t have to have air purifiers and water purifiers. Yet someone decided they’d take our sewer and do so much crap to it that it would then become our water supply. I remember seeing those processes in action.

Why is it acceptable that our water supply isn’t 100% safe?

Why is it acceptable that there are additives in food that can kill us?

Why do the agencies who are supposed to protect us do everything except that?

It’s taken years to create the sick humans we now are on the sick planet where we exist. How is that fixable?

Does anyone have the answer?

Do other countries have this figured out?

I can speak for myself that at 57, crippled already by genetics, all of these things are killing me. Pills upon pills. Eating crap. Drinking crap. What choices do we have?

So every disease, bacteria, parasite, anything harmful that I encounter - I stand no chance against it.

I see my cats and a respiratory illness comes upon them and maybe 2 of 10 get it. They’re all in the same room, all exposed, all eating the same diet, etc. One sibling gets sick and the other doesn’t. I want to know why. There’s so many things I don’t understand and too many things I do.

The world is not a safe place as it is, but how do we fix it? Can we? God, I hope so. I was so filled with hope until today. Now it seems overwhelming. I’m just one person. It scares me.
