Memes

Latest exert from Categorically Bob.

Memes. Here a meme, there a meme, everywhere a meme. I would venture to say that even Old McDonald has modernized his farm from here a duck, there a duck, here a cow, there a cow, here a pig, there a pig, here a farm animal, there a farm animal, to include social media buzz… and I don’t mean here a bee, there a bee, everywhere a bee. What I am saying is that memes are becoming ubiquitous. What in the mind of humanity is happening to the conjoint intellect of the human species? For example:

I am a cat, and I categorically meow that Cats (or farm animals) do not require such preposterous evasions from thought. A short Meorrrrow and we’ve said our piece; or a lengthy discussion replete with cognitive meows and ruminations – between naps, of course – benefits the cat community considerably more than a silly picture with a tag line that rarely parallels the pic.

It is alarming to see how these memes reel in the human psyche with only the absurd for bait. Humanity, hungry for something to believe in, snaps at these lures of misinformation, insufficient data, or feel good mantras like koi at feeding time.  Humans are gullible. Here a gullible, there a gullible, everywhere a gullible.

Oh… one other thing.  There are countless memes across social media about cats. I find these to be generally true.  Especially this:

Love – Divine Love – is a gift from God.  It is the essence of God.  I find it ironic that the greatest gift from “above” seems to incessantly rise from the bottom up within the human experience more often than it flows from the top down.  We are born of the Light of Eternal Love; we must be taught rapacious behavior.

It defies spiritual gravity that those who have so much are able to give so little.  Now, I am not talking about the gravitational pull of bills and coins, rather, Love.  While it is true that wealthy  philanthropists give funds to help those in need, it is not  likely that it is done out of the shear goodness of their heart. Perhaps they are motivated by tax exemptions, egotistical expressions of how good they will appear to be, or guilt, but if they really cared they would probably not be so wealthy in the first place. Accumulation of wealth is more often achieved by windfall luck, inheritance, or aggressive, avaricious business techniques. Love has little or nothing to do with financial gain.  It would be “easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle…”.

If the opulent understood Love – genuine Love, not lust – then it is likely that they would have been more compassionate on their way up, and consequently not have escalated so far.  I suppose that it is easier to climb to pecuniary heights if one does not help others on the way. To share and share alike takes time and becomes cumbersome and heavy.  Those ahead in the climb are rarely willing to give one a hand if they perceive to be weighted down by compassion toward others. A monetary hierarchy cannot exist without it’s various levels.  This is an ageless human characteristic that seems embedded in our genomes, and not likely to change.  Not until we elevate Love above the status of money.

“You cannot serve God and mammon.”

If Love was money there would be an astounding redistribution of wealth in this world.
