I was just reading about the situation in Iran--in particular, about the corruption and jockying for power and its history. It's easy to dismiss them as religious wackos until you remember our own political situation in the US of A. I have to wonder, is our situation all that better or just more familiar which allows it to hide its bizarreness in plain sight. Is the opposite of "nutso" not "sensible" but merely what we're used to?
When we look for meaning, are we looking for something we expect to recognize? And if not, how will we know when we've found it?
When I see the omnipotent power heirarchies out there and wonder how they could ever be toppled, I understand why death was built into the system. It adds an expiration date to that which would otherwise refuse to ever leave.
