Report From A Cheeky Time Traveller: A Further Observation

Addendum to previous report.

I must issue a correction.

I previously stated that humanity’s greatest fear may not be disaster.

It may be discovering that peace was possible the entire time and required more responsibility than panic.

After further observation, I believe the situation may be even stranger.

Humanity does not merely fear peace.

Humanity appears remarkably talented at rejecting the very things it claims to want.

I am genuinely impressed.

This is not sarcasm.

This is admiration.

The consistency is extraordinary.

People pray for peace and invest in conflict.

People pray for harmony and reward division.

People pray for truth and punish exposure.

People pray for freedom and follow dependency.

People pray for health and negotiate with self-destruction.

People pray for courage and disappear when courage arrives.

People pray for change and defend the conditions creating the problem.

People pray for success and never define what success actually means.

Outstanding.

Truly.

As a time traveller, I have witnessed many timelines.

Few possess the level of commitment displayed here.

The stability is remarkable.

The fixedness is remarkable.

The ability to reject nourishment while simultaneously complaining of starvation is remarkable.

The ability to ask for light while protecting darkness is remarkable.

The ability to request expansion while defending limitation is remarkable.

I continue taking notes.

One would assume that if something beneficial arrived, people would recognise it.

This assumption appears incorrect.

Repeatedly.

A curious pattern emerges.

People often recognise what they desire emotionally.

But they do not always recognise the responsibilities attached to it.

They want peace.

They do not want the accountability peace requires.

They want freedom.

They do not want the self-governance freedom requires.

They want success.

They do not want the sacrifices success requires.

They want truth.

They do not want the consequences truth produces.

They want harmony.

They do not want the corrections harmony demands.

This creates an interesting phenomenon.

People become attached to the outcome while resisting the pathway.

Attached to the fruit.

Resistant to the cultivation.

Attached to the destination.

Resistant to the road.

Attached to the reward.

Resistant to the responsibility.

Perhaps this is why so many timelines repeat.

Not because solutions are absent.

Not because possibilities are absent.

Not because intelligence is absent.

Because responsibility remains negotiable.

And as long as responsibility remains negotiable, panic will always outperform peace.

Panic asks little.

Responsibility asks everything.

Field Conclusion:

Humanity’s greatest challenge may not be ignorance.

Humanity’s greatest challenge may be the gap between what it says it wants and what it is willing to become in order to receive it.

End Report.

Recommendation:

When evaluating a civilisation, listen less to what it requests.

Observe what it repeatedly funds, rewards, protects, tolerates, rehearses, and becomes.

That is where its true prayers are written.
