It's amusing that, when I'm playing opera CDs, there's a mental note every time a spot is reached that was where a vinyl record ended. Even after so, so long -- and I first got a CD player in 1989 -- the end-of-the-record spots are noted.

Invited to a playing of crystal bowls, but I think I won't go. It's too tied in with a funeral the crystal bowlers are going to today, and how I'd need to call to see if what time I should be there -- and I don't want to call because it's too much of an intrusion... etc. Too complicated, I reckon.

I was reading about Italian politics, about which I don't know enough. Well, I hate politics. When I was married I remember telling my husband that being enthusiastic about a new president was like lab rats being happy about a change of scientist. Anyway, I was thinking about an interview I read a month or two ago, wherein an ex-pat Italian said he no longer felt connected to his home town, although he had spoken of it with great love. I have wondered about it, all this time -- could what he said somehow be connected to the Italian political situation? Is that a huge, "Duh!" I hear? Then I was thinking (unrelated) about the place near Milan where pollution on a huge scale involving dioxin rendered an entire area, for all intents and purposes, dead. So I went to Google and put in "Milan dead dioxin valley" and it came right up. 1976, Seveso. If you do good it seems you must keep at it: you can't stop for an instant. If you are intent on evil, however, once is enough -- it keeps right on going.* Good is like protecting something -- doesn't seem to exist outside the present moment. Evil is like killing someone -- do it once and it's done forever. Evil seems to be more time-based. So it's easier to do evil, I'd reckon. It's heartening, in a way, that there is as much beauty in the world as there is -- people must have a greater percentage of good than evil in their makeup, otherwise the world would be a scorched, ribbon-built, chain-stored, polluted, uglified place all over instead of just in bits.

Hmmmm.

So... does that reveal anything useful about Time? Say, that Time is evil, or Time something else, or Time doesn't exist?

I want to ask for thoughts about improving the world -- what do people need? How can things be organised?
