How can we be so lonely?

Posted By Jane on October 1, 2009

Q. With so many people on the planet, how can we be so lonely?
- Gene Myers

A. It’s physics. Mostly everything is empty space. On an atomic level nothing touches anything, not even itself. Metaphorically this breaks our hearts. We want connection so badly and we even feel it- but it is so elusive and life shows us time and time again that things are not what they appear to be. This life is lonely because each atom is alone and the bigger picture is a reflection of the smaller picture.

Sleeping Alone

Posted By Jane on April 13, 2009

You didn’t want to sleep alone

When you were little

You cried
You were scared

You wanted

Water, story, song, truth, warmth, a cuddle

Your dreams are different now that you are grown

The nightmares new

But still in the night

You want the same old things

Our needs are what unites us

Religious beliefs?

Posted By Jane on December 25, 2007

Q. I only just discovered your philosophy blog and I wanted to let you know how much your responses remind me of an older, more experienced, female version of me. I agree with your ideas. I want to know about your religious beliefs.
- Boris

A. How young, inexperienced and male are you? It sounds very exciting : ) Religious beliefs are something to be avoided. I appreciate the wholesome ideas that religions are based on, the colorful pantheons and characters involved and the wonderful dramatic stories; I also love much of the art that has come from religious inspiration or, at least, funding (Like the Sistine Chapel) but religion itself is dogma and righteousness, judgment and superiority; which leads to so many terrifyingly destructive things: like the annihilation of civilizations through the ages, war and repression. Humans use religion to control people. Religion is propaganda. Religion is what it’s called when enough people are brainwashed that it’s gone beyond a cult. Religion is something humanity has to outgrow in order to reach peace.
