If you feel like this world is growing in madness, you may be right. Sometimes, it seems like the madness is getting World War proportions \u2015 again.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first World War in two stages shows that it is possible to start in an unexpecting environment. Without doomsday thinking, we should also not put it aside today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you may read in many of my blogs, the outer madness comes from inner dissociation<\/a>, like an overflowing bucket of water. I don\u2019t see this as an excuse. We should know better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global madness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

West, East, North, South, from Russia to South Africa and from the US to China, there is no part of the world where people generally behave in what a civilized E.T. (extraterrestrial, alien) would probably see as rationally \u2018humane.\u2019 Everywhere, such an alien would see conduct that is far from our human potential \u2015 up to people killing each other in droves, up to people not caring for millions even if they could easily do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s our alien have to think of all this. He must think we\u2019re mad for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being used to madness?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This text is a plea for never getting used to it. It\u2019s not because it\u2019s ubiquitous that it should be seen as \u2018normal\u2019 in any other way but statistically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not normal at all. It\u2019s atrocious. The world should stop turning around until most of the madness is resolved. There should be no comfortable numbness<\/a>, no active denial of the horrors inflicted in many ways on men and women, children and adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outrage should reach the sky and higher!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the madness is not seeing it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the not-seeing lies in the not wanting to see \u2015 madness by itself. This may make one think of the \u201cWe didn\u2019t know what was happening\u201d after WW II. In any case, this time, \u2018we\u2019 may know perfectly well if \u2018we\u2019 care to look. In any case, this time, there is no excuse at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does it surprise you to see me ranting like this? Well, then, I will keep doing so now and again. To someone who reads this in a distant future \u2013 you never know \u2013 with this, I voice my abhorrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the daily news is daily floating by<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

as if in another universe, showing madness as if happening in a little box \u2015 a different box for each kind of entertainment. Or, the sports news follows, to many people as a dessert after the main dish \u2015 the prelude to an emotionally comfortable evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every day some other news. People quickly get bored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This may well be what people want, but it doesn\u2019t diminish any madness. On the contrary, it makes people feel as if the madness itself is alien to them. Always, somehow, in past and present, insanity needs to be kept far from \u2018normalcy.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it isn\u2019t, as it has never been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only way to evolve beyond is to acknowledge this fully, to not take it for granted.<\/p>\n
