VOID



    I see an abyss the size of eternity, planted in the heart of man, a horrible hollow in the core of mortals. I behold a vast edgeless gap in the midst of beings, a black hole taking rest in the soul of souls. I speak not of a poetic hole, nor of some imagined pit of hell. I speak only of reality, of what I’ve seen and felt: things too real to be unreal.

     There is a world without end, emptiness without limit, in the belly of men. Believe me. A hollow such that eyes have never seen, deep as Satan’ final pit, rich with the stench of all that is rotten and gone.

    I speak not of a quiet, silent pit, but a void with a voice, a void with life and desires, sucking all things into its bleak dim midst. Now and then, the void calls out. It keeps calling. It never stops, mouth forever wide open, endlessly ready to burn, to fan flames of lust and vain wants; happily ready to tear lives apart, to crush in pieces the strength of saints, and to reduce to naught the energies of giants.
    Once and again, I desired to be free, to live above this terrible pit’s reach, but I failed. I tried hard and sank hard, drawn even further into the snare of wants, swallowed up by rivers of desires. Then I turned to the Lord, my father and source, and from Him I sought help. He sealed the void, and opened a new one, a glorious portal into his very bosom. At last, I swim in liberty, free forever from the clutch of lusts and cravings.

5G AND THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY: A COMMONSENSE APPROACH

Image
5G and the Future of Humanity: Technology is advancing at a scary pace. Just decades after the advent of mobile phones, something impressively big has emerged. You know its name—5G. We can pretend for a moment that this is nothing, and that this, if it is anything, has nothing to do with us, that whatever the “people of the world” decide to do with their rotten lives   is none of our business; but it is not their lives they are playing with, it is our lives. And in the end, this very “business” of technocrats and bureaucrats, which looks far away from us, will become everyone’s business. Whatever blessing or curse lies ahead of us, shall be shared equally to all.  We may not know all that 5G is and isn’t, but we know enough to talk about it: we know of its scientific grandness, we’ve heard that it is like heaven on earth, we know that it’s over twenty, perhaps fifty times, maybe a thousand times better than anything we’ve ever known or heard about. We can download...

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE HUMAN RACE

Image
Dear humanity,            How did we get to this point? How did we, great humanity, suddenly become slaves to insects and germs? Are we no longer gods and demigods, and lords and overlords?   Haven’t we numbered all the stars of heaven, and have reached, with our telescopes, the innermost edges of the universe?   We’ve solved the dilemma of communication, have captured entire realities in affordable screens; we have sent our men to the moon, have had our places among the stars, have peered into the dark chambers of the human heart. Still, we remain wretched.           We say we are masters of everything but each passing day, everything humiliates and enslaves and rules over us. But we never stop boasting.   We call ourselves what we are not and had never been and will never be: we say we are the sweetest apples of Eden, the most enlightened offspring of nature, ...
