Search Results: he walked away

China is advancing so fast right now but not to show off. They're doing it to improve their living. Of course with a little motivation to surpass the west and of course to attract traders around the world like what they use to do. Communism may come to mind but that's not really the case for Japan, S Korea and Taiwan, fairly westernized, yet they still have practical use for their technologies.

It's clear it's rooted in ancient wisdom, philosophies, Confucianism and pragmatism which have ancient/animistic roots, that's still applied today with modern technologies. Tech being practical used in railways, side walks, environment, healthcare, infrastructures, manufacturing and farms that makes people's lives more convenient. They're stuck in ancient times with modern tech.

The west is stuck in the industrial age with territories around the world, with systems like capital accumulation, competition, and market-driven growth which can lead to inequality, monopolies, consumerism and environmental damage. Corporates focus on tech slops, at a cost of RAM, water and electric shortage, selling tech like gadgets and smart devices for individuals to solve minor problems. Current western powers, continue to face internal pressure, tech giants exploiting people, to compete with the world indicating their empire is not over, only not on paper.

How the west keeps policing the world, it's they're still trying to dominate, demonize cultures that doesn't fit their norms. This is why I think animism should return. It existed around the world and every civilizations was once animistic. Rules was simple. People hunt, connect, sing, make art and survive. That makes us humans. People do crazy things in crisis but AI and tech can exist to make life easier so people do arts, music, games and sports like what they use to do and old jobs becomes simulators. AI slops just take those away from humans. Animism shouldn't even just return but be the dominant culture around the futuristic world.

I got emotional when I watched a TV show called "Time of death", it follows the last days or months of someone who's terminal. I got emotional as the mom gave her speech in which she expressed how horrible it was to see her son rapidly deteriorate from cancer, and fade away.

It also made me think about my childhood dog, Katie. She ended up getting sicker and sicker as her pancreas started shutting down and she could hardly walk down the stairs. She was my dog from 2007-2020. As previously mentioned, I never fit in, anywhere, Katie was my everything.

I was closer to her than most people are with their siblings, I hated being away from her, and she always howled, cried out and desperately lunged at me every time I left for school. She'd wait by the window for me, jump up, wagging her tail, and as I come in, there was a love seat by the door She'd run up, stand on, and lick me. She'd put her two paws on my shoulders to do it.

When I had surgery and was in the hospital, she refused to leave my room, even to use the bathroom and when I came back, she always cuddled so close to me and I'd always hold her close. Seeing her condition worsen and her strength fade was so hard. I'd have to carry her up and down the stairs, she'd be scared to try to walk down them.

Then I'd have to bring food up to her, her worry and sorrow always on her face as I desperately tried to comfort her. Then the day came, I remember how even in her last moments, she looked up and licked me as i told her how much I loved her, and how I'd never forget her.

I see now that although I have dogs now and love them, Katie's death burned the deepest hole in my heart.

I'm not ashamed to admit that my eyes are quite wet as I write this, and I sobbed as I looked at this photo taken days before her death. Seeing her nose, her eyes, I really loved her. To Katie, I will always remember you, thank you for loving me, thank you for staying with me, and thank you for being my dog❤️
