Guys, I'm feeling really, horribly, terribly, painfully, sickeningly, sadly heart-mangled in the wake of everything that is happening to our world.
I've been trying to understand everything that's happening at Fukushima in Japan.
A chest X-ray is 0.1 millisieverts. 6-10 sieverts of radiation will result in a 100% instant fatality rate. As of July 9th, not the meltdown, not the melt-through, but the MELT OUT at Fukushima was cranking out 266 sieverts/hour!!!! (This does disperse over distance, of course, unless a hot particle happens to lodge itself in your body, because then the distance is not so far no matter where you go.) It's in the GROUNDWATER. Things are going south at surrounding reactors. Under the right conditions, there could even be an EXPLOSION.
Tokyo needs to be evacuated. Japan could well be uninhabitable, no matter where you go. TEPCO just made the formal statement that, "In 10 years, we will begin to extract the fuel robs... **IF** the technology is created by then."
This is completely unprecedented. This is INCOMPREHENSIBLE DESTRUCTION.
After the oil spill in Florida, I really, really thought nothing worse could happen. This happens, what, a year later??
Anyway, this thread isn't about Fukushima specifically, it's about my shock and disgust and outrage and despair about what humans are doing--and what they ALLOW TO HAPPEN--to our world!
Do we have a right to breathe clean air?
For the month of July, NASA is also shooting rockets loaded with LITHIUM up into the atmosphere (no conspiracy theory, it's on their website), to, uh, jiggle the ionosphere with psychoactive drugs.
Should I buy a dosimeter to test all of my groceries??
Am I going to give birth to a dead baby??
People in Japan who want to help are planting fields of sunflowers, I mean, what else can you actually do?
Who cares?? And why do I have to care so much?? How is it that so many people seem to be completely removed from all burden of caring??
It also makes me feel like so many things I'm doing are Pointless.
I'm usually REALLY good at seeing the bright side, staying positive, not losing my head and doing what I realistically can to make a positive change.
But this really makes me wonder... Did I incarnate to experience the death of our planet? Did I incarnate specifically to die of some horrible cancer? Even if all that extra seaweed and psychoactive drugs manages to spare my flimsy life, did I incarnate to watch nearly everyone and everything else die from human-inflicted destruction of the environment?
Why am I human?? How am I the same as all these people who are literally destroying everything? How can I find compassion?
What are my children (remember, if I can actually even have them) going to have to live through, live with?
I don't believe in aliens, I don't believe in the NWO, I just think some humans are born with a total non-capacity for empathy. But what can
I do?
I mean, obviously, much of the answer is to continue doing what I'm already doing, living nonviolently, start a green business, being kind to others and sharing the spice. But I really just need to share how I feel... maybe be reminded that I'm not alone and hear some good words.
Thanks everyone. With love.
Some things will come easy, some will be a test
