All the things that give both give us power and take away our power.
A blog that covers literature, politics, the bible, and everything in between.
Welcome to From Ritual To Romance. This is where I explore the darker, hidden aspects of human nature. I am not afraid to ask questions that some might consider taboo. I don’t believe in isms-I reject labels like feminism, atheism, nationalism, individualism, and humanism; I believe in existence, not existentialism. I believe that humans have an innate, biological nature, but also an innate spiritual nature-and they are in conflict.
I write about the media, literature, the arts, politics, violence, abuse, love-all are part of what Shakespeare called “this insubstantial pageant,” the endless shows that the human ego creates, the horrible and beautiful rituals that we inflict on each other.
I believe that religion is unfairly blamed for too many problems the world is experiencing right now. The problem is us and all of our ego projections onto our imaginary enemies.
We have to find a way to exist without destroying each other and the planet. Because we’re really fighting ourselves.
Shalom.
