The reader who sent the meme here nailed it.
The last half century, in particular the last decade, has seen a dramatic reduction in number of Americans who live humanitarian lives of kindness, compassion, and intelligence.
A good example of this was the 2024 election, where the top issues were inflation (which was running at about 3%), the crime rate (which was falling), and crimes committed by illegal immigrants (which are far rarer per capita than those committed by U.S. citizens). Nowhere near the top was mitigating climate change, which actually is causing more severe storms, floods, wildfires, and droughts.
If you believe that a loving God has a plan for you, and is steadily guiding you towards happiness, then you disagree with the assertion here.
The rest of us are forced to admit that the universe is cooly indifferent to us and the outcome of our lives here on Earth.
This doesn’t mean, btw, that our lives are meaningless, but it does compel us to create our own meaning as we make our choices as we go along.
Another point to be made here is that there is no “galactic cavalry” that is going to come charging in, guns ablazing, to save us from the criminal insanity of the Trump administration.
Mark Kelly, like the vast majority of his fellow Americans, wishes to see Trump removed from office, as the president is clearly criminally insane.
That doesn’t make him, or any of the rest of us, guilty of sedition.
One has to admire the Pope and how he’s trying to bring peace to our world.
It’s a shame this flies in the teeth of the aims of Donald Trump, the most powerful person on Earth, whose personal success depends on fostering division and hatred.
