Blame

Blame is the question and the answer!

Blame
verb:
assign responsibility for a fault or wrong.
“the inquiry blamed the engineer for the accident”

My entire life has been controlled by this single Idea and I never understood the reason that it is important to me and the world. In the definition above we see what it is. We need to understand why it is important.
I was awed when I realized the main word in the definition is ‘responsibility’.
I was amazed that the  second most important word is ‘assign’.
I was not impressed with the remainder of the definition; why would human being be interested in responsibility for anything except bad things?

In previous posts we looked at responsibility. Why? I felt it was so they could think more deeply about what they were about to do! Now I think it was so I could feel justified to blame a person for what was done wrongly.

  1. We have been in a pandemic from a virus blamed on the Chinese.
  2. Racism toward Blacks is blamed on Whites.
  3. Asians are blamed for anything bad.
  4. And it goes on and on and on.

Blame has become an end in itself. But in many religions it should be the beginning. What is next?

In the lord’s pray — and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. — But we haven’t yet! And that is the question and the answer!

The Great Correction

Down on the corner of ruin and grace
I’m growin weary of the human race
Hold my lamp up in everyone’s face
Lookin for an honest man!
Everyone tied to the turnin wheel
Everyone hidin from the things they feel
Well the truth’s so hard it just don’t seem real
The shadow across this land
People ’round here don’t know what it means
To suffer at the hands of our american dreams
They turn their backs on the grisly scenes
Traced to the privileged sons
They got their god they got their guns
Got their armies and the chosen ones
But we ll all be burnin in the same big sun
When the great correction comes
Down through the ages lovers of the mystery
Poets and sages all throughout history
Say the light burns brightest in the darkest times
It’s the bitter end we’ve come down to
The eye of the needle that we gotta get through
But the end could be the start of something new
When the great correction comes
Down through the ages .
Down to the wire runnin’ out of time
Still got hope in this heart of mine
But the future waits on the horizon line
For our daughters and our sons
I don’t know where this train’s bound
Whole lotta people tryin to turn it around
Gonna shout til the walls come tumblin down
And the great correction comes
Don’t let me down
When the great correction comes

Life

Definition

The definition of life has long been a challenge for scientists and philosophers, with many varied definitions put forward.[16][17][18] This is partially because life is a process, not a substance.[19][20][21] This is complicated by a lack of knowledge of the characteristics of living entities, if any, that may have developed outside of Earth.[22][23] Philosophical definitions of life have also been put forward, with similar difficulties on how to distinguish living things from the non-living.[24] Legal definitions of life have also been described and debated, though these generally focus on the decision to declare a human dead, and the legal ramifications of this decision.[25] As many as 123 definitions of life have been compiled.[26] One definition seems to be favored by NASA: “a self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution.”[27][28]

The lack of knowledge of the characteristics of living entities does not prevent us from assuming 1 characteristic for our basis. The process is aware. The process does respond. Any entity responds but what we mean here is the process responds. If you push a rock it moves. If you expose metal to oxygen it rusts. This is the entity not the process. The process is missing. The life is missing. When we look for life, we look for this additional response. It’s presence indicates life in some form. The problem is not seeing it does not mean absence of life, only the absence of a sighting.
