“People seem ugly”

(Paraphrased with thanks to The Doors)

People are befuddling,
people are strange.

Known quantity or stranger:
it is impossible to know what they think or to explain how they act.

Is humanity beyond research, beyond insight, beyond reason?

Have we lost the ability to see beyond our ingrained, myopic opinions?

Has humankind determined its own extinction by choosing to believe,
and to repeat obvious nonsense on a closed loop?

Talking into an echo or to the reflection in a mirror achieves nothing going forward.

Blinders on our eyes, fingers in our ears, and venom from our lips keep us in dizzying spin.

Eventually, unless we take better care we will all get thrown from the merry go ‘round.
