Couch

if you find your modern empathy

and its current state is atrophy

maybe we should, group therapy

or the damage done...

we may not see it

before the catastrophe

How very well put. I agree!

[Davidgeo]

Thanks Frank. I'm glad you agree, hopefully we can make it a group thing.

[Ballpark Frank]

Absolutely. Empathy seems to be less obvious today. That's scary too. Too much cruelty in today's world. I like how you poetically and memorably bring this to the fite

*fore. (I hit post too quick)

I have faith in the coming generations. They may be highly annoying to me but, they aren't oblivious. They are watching and I think enough of them are learning from the mistakes. We shall see. Good thing there's an expiration date... I'd go critically insane if I had to watch the entire thing play out in one go.

I disagree. I want to see it all. I want
To see things get better and better. I know (sadly) it will take a while.

I'll pass on that. Talkin' about remembering birth AND death? That sounds painful and tragic... I'd rather get high and eaten by tiger and then reborn unwittingly to grow up and be eaten by a bear. Just as long as I don't remember... it's like this never happened. Until next time... (but I wouldn't know)

[Davidgeo]

.... well... maybe leave out getting eaten by the animals. Lets say, I'd rather die peacefully... over and over again... without knowing I'm going to die at any point.

we're more likely to find the remote buried under a couch cushion.

It's true, the prognosis does not look good at the moment. If you smoke enough weed you won't really care what's on tv or if you even had a remote in the first place.

... might even mistake the cat for the remote. the loose change is sometimes helpful in a pinch.

[Davidgeo]

Cats are hard to mistake for other things. The claws and all
