Biden in Moralless Society and World

 I wonder how President Joe Biden must feel this morning as a human being? Do you and I feel his disappointment, embarrassment, and pain? His deep anguish pain ? Sense of betrayal?

How would you or I feel, if , indeed, we dared to feel, for others again, in ways previous generations valued and did feel empathy for the humanity of fellow human beings? Though admittedly at best solely feeling for those like ourselves and for no one else within our primary groups, communities, societies rather than universally for everyone. But at least having decent feelings for others in our tribe. 

How would you or I feel if we were Joe Biden being pressed to give up being a second term candidate for the Presidency of the most powerful democracy in the world? And in such a grotesque public way?After so many decades of public service. How would you or I feel ? Or have we human beings lost the capacity to feel at all even when it comes to having feelings about our very selves?

I know like all of us President Joe Biden has not always been the perfect human being . He has not always been the most agreeable or likable person. But he is a human being thus with feelings. He has in his own sense of love for America been a loyal sacrificial public servant of America for nearly 50 years. And then it ends for him like this. Rather or not he decides to run for the rest of his numbered days life Biden will have the throbbing pain of being turned on and betrayed as if his fifty years of public service has been nothing .

His inhumane treatment is a personified example of the kind of moraless disposable narcissistic America and world in which we live. In fact we can say the same thing about former President Donald Trump veying for a second term. As cognitively declining as he is as well, Trump is being used too and shall be discarded as soon as his use value is no more. Those with the power to abuse others as tools of mass destruction of others for their own selfish interests has become our contemporary state of being in America and in too many other nations. Not caring about the sacrifices of those who dare to serve, be it in politics or in family or even in work places and places or worship and casting them away when their use value subsides . 

We the public, American or otherwise, just don’t care except when the terminal cancer of our disposal status creeps up upon us or on those we love ; especially those upon whose status we depend on for survival and some degree of quality of life.And then we scream, we shout betrayed. We sink , hide our heads in pain and despair. 

We just won’t know yet what will happen to Biden and to the society and world which is allowing him to be mistreated in such a despicable way which has been the dehumanizing norm of our day. But no matter what Biden decides to do and no matter who wins or loses in November 2024 we shall all pay in America and all over the world for the moraless character of human beings we are so indifferently evolving into with the undeserving victims being our children, children’s children and their unborn children. 

 We progressive minded people talk a big game about climate and animal rights with such moral fervor .Meanwhile, we allow amoral human made AI to take us over to the point of the global Internet outage the other day. Dog and cat food and even that made for birds have become more nutritious than human food.But what about what is happening to us to we human beings in the moraless societies and world we continue to so callously weave and tolerate?

 The treatment of Joe Biden is such a horrible and terrifying symbol of a moraless society and world we are all becoming since we human beings create both . So we can and need to cease moralessness in both no matter where we are no matter how high or low; no matter our demographics ; we need to stop the moralessness which has all of our fingers on and already pressing down on the human mass destruction button.
