So true. We’ve forgotten how to be human when in our digital sheath. In our psychopath mech suits we feel obligated and emboldened to exact justice where we perceive it is needed. And to add a metaphorical layer, we are hammers seeing nails everywhere. What you shared is thought provoking and I appreciate it. I aim to empathize with difficult situations and unique perspectives. 🙏🏼

Thank-You for Your comment. I agree with all You have said. I very much like Your term “psychopath mech suits”! A good description. Right up there with avatar, meat suit, meat sack, and My personal contribution, the iron maiden. LOL! Psychopath mech suit, includes the installed parasite mind program. So one gets the complete picture!

You have chosen a noble aim. There are many who deserve empathy. Some hide it well, some not so much. I think everyone is suffering in some way, in these times. Perhaps the best we can do for one another, is to remember that, and extend compassion. Thank-You once again!

The greatest danger, to my mind, lies in having allowed a consensus reality to automate itself.

Thanks. I agree. Hard work, and a lot of monkeys flinging poo at one another. (apologies…I’ve been up writing since 4:00 am…the muse doesn’t seem to care much about sleep :P)
