This is a powerful piece indeed. Reading it feels like sweet relief after what happened to me today. I was accosted by several men in suits as I went about town to run errands. Twice, it was a group of two or three men in suits, nearly knocking me off my feet, and not even offering so much as quick word of apology. On the second occasion, I had my grocery bags in hand, and two executive men steamrolled me, basically. 'Just a poor woman with her groceries', they must have thought. I am a human being. You suits are no better than me, though many would agree you are a great deal worse, with your horrid, entitled attitudes. Your aggression and your money will not buy you any more years on this earth than myself or anyone else, for that matter. You may end up being buried in a fancier box than I, but still, dust will be dust. You are dying now. And so am I. The only difference is that you do not feel humbled in the face of the Great Leveler. Or perhaps you do, and your insecure and obnoxious behavior is proof of your feeble state of mind. To death then! I am not afraid, for I know my place. And that place is not in the miserable human pyramid scheme of things. It is only for the universal mind to know. And for that I am grateful. It's a lucky thing that humans are only in charge of their wretched lot on earth, or I truly would fear for all creation. To the author's comments in this article, I would add 'Never underestimate Chaos.' Along with death, it is the only assurance we have that all works out equal in the end.
Read it here. It is absolutely worth your time.
