Oblivion and Abundant Misinformation

In today’s chaotic ‘modern’ life…

We have abundant ways to get information…

But in most cases…

The information is biased.

Misinformation and dis-information is the bedrock of most politics,

Particularly the demagogue conservative movement.

There is no longer any moral or academic ‘common ground’…

It’s all a matter of brainwashing the mentally vulnerable.

No longer can we attempt to have an intellectual dialog.

When facts are pointed out, the response is basically:
“Don’t confuse me with the facts…

I “Know” what I believe to be true…

Simply because I’ve been told to believe.”

This tactic is used in both of the two main important factors in life.

Politics – that are in charge for the human condition in this ‘here & now’…

And

The eternal nature of our True Being….

We leave both of these profound aspects

up to someone else!…

And they do NOT have humanities best interest in mind.

So,

It’s best to understand that there will be no intellectual discourse…

Facts, reason, morality and everything dear to humanity …

is out the door.

One must realize to continue to attempt to talk reason

with the unreasonable is akin to

trying to teach a pig to sing.

I will just waste your time…

And

Annoy the pig.

Pigs will fly and sing long before our current society

will ever pull its head out of its collective ass.

So,

Understand that,

Those that cling to such disastrous misbeliefs are victims

of their own ideology and sky god theology.

They will never see the forest for the trees.

Their mental vulnerability has them so willfully ignorant

 that they support politics that are very much

 against their own best interests and

condemn their very own children’s future.

Have compassion.

They know not what they do.

So,

Just smile….

If the smile is genuine…

It will help crack a smile… even on these folks…

That will indeed make the world a better place…

One smile at a time.

This won’t save us from us…

But,

It will help us learn to flow with an imperturbable groove…

That what comes… comes.

Our well-being is not effected by the chaos of this life.

~

We have all collectively taken that first step upon the threshold of paradigms…

If one can be fine with whatever reality throws our way…

We’ll cross those thresholds smoothly…

Hold on…

It’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

The Start of 2020

Our business was doing great, but we still couldn’t afford to buy a house or a condo. Renting in Maui for another 30 years was not an option we wanted to take. Then, Bobbie Jo suggested we buy a sailboat that is comfortable to cruise and live in. By the end of January, we started looking for our new home.

After a long search, we found our dream boat in Mazatlan, Mexico. COVID-19 was not yet a concern when our boat hunt began, but masks were starting to appear at airports by the time we flew to Mazatlan. Originally, we had planned to get the boat ready as fast as possible to cover a full calendar for the busy wedding season. However, it was apparent our business was going to tank amid the pandemic, and the struggle went on until the end of the year.

Luckily, we scored an awesome condo for only $19 a day at Mazatlan. On the 10th day of our stay, we received the news that all harbors will be closed the next Monday morning. We thought we’d be stuck in Mexico longer, but another sailor advised us to leave before sunrise.

We felt the adrenalin of escaping the Mexican harbor master just before the sun rose that faithful day. The seas were rough as waves were building up in the tight channel that led us to the open ocean. We ended up anchored off an adorable little isle just a mile offshore. We enjoyed cruising to many spectacular anchorages and cute villages on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we would depart for Maui on May 7. On May 30, 2020, we completed our 24-day passage from Mexico to Maui.
