Some thoughts that came too late

I haven’t been posting for a while.  For various reasons, some personal, some related to the platform.  Tumblr is no longer what it used to be.  Far from it.  More ads, no artistic nudes.  I am not asking for porn, but I hope to find art.  But hey, art has been inspired by nudity for millennia, both female and male.  Maybe even ten(s of) millennia.�� And here we find ourselves banning it.  We might think we progress, but if this is progress I find myself lost.  Utterly lost.  Perversion, to me, is turning art into something it never wanted to be. 

The world is evolving, I know that.  We’re no longer in the 60′s or 70′s when I grew up.  We should be critical, but at the same time appreciate the beauty of life.  I feel more and more that we lost the latter.  But I know it’s too late to turn the tide.

This day and age

I had wanted to write something about my current project, of which I have been posting some images recently.  But I don’t feel, in this day and age, that it has any relevance.  In fact I just feel desperation, about the fact that humanity seems incapable of solving the problems it has created for itself.  I don’t have to name them, the list would be too long.  Buried deep in our minds, we all know what to do to survive, I think.  When will we start doing it?

2022/03/07:  today I read this on CNN: “ As a commander of US Army troops that defeated the Nazi regime in Germany 77 years ago, Gen. Omar Bradley knew a lot about war. Three years after the Second World War ended, he warned, "The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living."”.  Still true :-(
