Everything Is Backwards on Earth!
We do so many things backwards here. We go about our lives in such a destructive manner on so many levels, and then just use money to fix it. In order to get that money, we have to work most of our days at jobs we, for the most part, don’t even like, damaging our health that we now work to earn money to repair. We do this while thinking of all the toys we can buy to distract us from the jobs we hate, or the retirement we want to take us away from work that we may never actually reach because we’ve ignored our health and happiness for so long. It appears as though we live to work more than anything else here, and have essentially enrolled in a kind of slavery we don’t even recognize we’ve entered.
The Dalai Lama’s quote and what it inspires within me reminds me of another quote that sums up this paradox beautifully.
“Just look at us. Everything is backwards, everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, psychiatrists destroy minds, scientists destroy truth, major media destroys information, religions destroy spirituality and governments destroy freedom.”
– Michael Ellner
