The following is from a Facebook discussion of the invasion of lantern Flys in NYC:
Commenter A:
I believe they’re an invasive species that lead to the loss of trees as well ??? I remember last summer the population was advised to kill as many as possible (people were doing the ‘one-two-three’ step all over Central Park et al. They are dangerous aliens inhabiting pretty bodies to pass as acceptable. Like so many politicians!
Steve Carter Or when Stevie was an attractive young man.
I can’t let myself off the hook from the human side of unhealthy behavior that was harmful to others.
Steve Carter it’s not like I was violent or anything. I just never learned how to sustain intimacy that can be available to people who are physically attractive.
It’s not even as if I wanted more, but actually less. I found it hard to feel equipped, and
therefore, was frightened, and disinclined to follow through with the challenges of the emotional/economic structures of nuclear family, which is continually viewed as a safe and supportive unit within a rather hardcore and unforgiving society that holds individualism, survival of the fittest, and personal wealth as a basics on a healthy way of living.
Ha! I guess I couldn’t find a position of neutrality in what feels to me like a world of dominance and submission.
“I would prefer not to.” participate and just want to be alone.
Trained as an individualist I guess I know nothing else.
There is something really wrong with this place, top to bottom; a world at war with so much thrown into “defense”weaponry down to the individuals swallowing prescription and off-the-shelf remedies for depression.
It’s confusing and scary.
“All you need is love!”-
So said some stoned kids after obtaining a mind boggling amount of wealth and power. And that notion is distributed by massive media and somehow taken as the gospel truth.
