Modern Immortality
Woe unto men,
for your's is the tree of bitter wrath
woe unto the children of the earth ,
for they have taken all the mother has to give
woe unto you who hear these words ,
for times of change will always require death.

this is the age of the fool who gained the throne, his citizens astonished that their needs are never met. when in the end they have only themselves to blame.
do you not see the where this path leads, you who claim the gift of sentience and dismiss all others as merely beasts of the field, and birds of the air?
can you not see the destruction you store for yourself at the end of this road?

I was once like you, selfish and vain, obsessed with the finite and committed to the obliteration of my suffering soul, then I found the beautiful words of Krishna to that meek ruler of the Pandavas and in those words I found a way through my darkest days
I say I am not selfish but I still struggle with the gunas and all they imply but I will continue to strive for perfection as I am now wrested from the grip of inaction that most terrible of prisons, created for us by our own mind thus far more capable of keeping us ensnared.

I fear the future for in our current course there is but one end that can be achieved.
let us look at this system we have allowed ourselves to be caught in and use the gift of sentience to travel through time and arrive at the final moment.

As wealth is appropriated by men and sought above all else by most all the world there are few things held to be more precious than monetary stability and prosperity, and yet let us look at the fatal flaw of the societal system.
When the world was younger and the population of the world had not yet breasted the vast number of a billion wealth could be described and understood a man could be wealthy and yet the numbers where not abstract ideas beyond human computation, but as the system is designed like that most noble building the pyramid it requires an unusually large number of the population to be kept at the base, as the numbers of the population grow the pinacle of the pyramid grows higher and higher and if you know anything about the construction of buildings or anything for that matter the higher the building the wider the base needs to be to support the buildings height. eventually the peak will be so high we will not even be able to see the peak, and if you take a moment to look at the system politics you will see that as the pyramidian gets higher it must also grow smaller meaning that the wealth of the world will be held in fewer and fewer hands until we arrive at the end of the system where all the wealth of this our world will be held in the hands of one person, or company which will be owned by one family or another.
This is the only end this type of system can support.
