This is my 42nd blog post.
42 – The meaning of life.
Significant in a time in my life where I have chosen to
abandon exploring the ‘why’:
-Why are we here?
-Why do I care?
-Why do I need to keep my elbows off the table when I eat?
And focus more on the ‘what’;
-What should I do today?
-What should I have for the lunch?
-WTF?
etc.
Distractions. It’s all about the distractions.
One perfect distraction is the upcoming UN delegation and
subsequent impending doom on the State I now call home!
I decided to do a bit of field work and find out what the
people of this tiny land actually think is going to go down on that momentous
day.
It seems that at most 2 million Palestinian refugees
residing in Syria will march toward the Israeli border, partly because they
want to reclaim the land of their ancestors, and partly because the Syrian
government with mow them down with machine guns.
At least we might see a bit of colourless fireworks near
the security fence along the 1967 armistice line.
Most people in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv will wake up as
usual, go to their favourite, or most convenient, café and order their usual.
I think there’ll be unrest which could turn violent.
There might be a little fire. There may not. It could go
either way. I think it’ll stop/pause some of the internal protests regarding
social justice. Sorry for being vague, it’s the nature of my generation.
