The Strange Disease of Misoneism
“People are trapped in history, and history
is trapped in them,” said American writer
James Baldwin. We are shaped by our past,
and it’s perplexing, why we hate change
and innovation when the world is changing
from one day to the next, never knowing
what will come, like Putin’s brutal war on
the Ukrainian people that’s effacing humanity
and disrupting the global economy; but it’s
so real that we cannot help but see the changes
that this genocidal war of cultural attrition
is bringing; yet, we continue to resent change,
like the video posted on YouTube of the Jane
Seymour movie, a true story of her past-life
incarnation in Ireland that affronts the status
quo. It’s hard to let go of old belief systems,
and it seems to take nothing less than another
war to shatter old karmic patterns to make
more room for new ways of perceiving,
thinking, and understanding.
