We Are Wired To Love
“A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don’t function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.”
-Brene Brown

The World Is Turning Upside Down
For the longest time, I tried to distill where I think the world is heading in the simplest form possible. After much turmoil and deliberation, I think I finally got it, but to get there I had to list in my mind all the things I noticed about the world, have shared news about on this blog before. So, maybe consider this a “greatest hits” collage of this blog as I now list those reasons that helped me make my conclusion. First of all, I think it’s possible plant-based and other fake meat can replace real meat in the future, so people won’t be eating animals anymore, and maybe all animals could have the same rights as humans if certain animal rights activists and people against specieism have their way. Plus, we noticed many people want cannibalism and insects incorporated into more diets for its beneficial environmental impact and some people are seeking pedophilia to be normalized. I also think people that have usually been downtrodden are becoming more empowered, the have-nots are becoming the haves, which explains another change I’ve noticed, why diversity in storytelling is becoming more ubiquitous, and that people are turning away from religion to alternative beliefs. So, what I believe, and concluded, is that the world is being turned upside down, and if you want to imagine what the future will be like, just think of the opposite of what has been done for the longest time! Maybe this is why there’s so much inner turmoil in countries, and disagreements countries have with other countries, because in order for these changes to happen, places have to fall and rise, get rebuilt again, or be destroyed completely.
