The truth is inconvenient
The universe began by accident.
Life began by chance.
There is no meaning,
No afterlife.
The truth is inconvenient.
The truth is inconvenient.
The planet is warming
Nature is under threat.
We are causing great damage.
Our greed is killing everything.
The truth is inconvenient.
The truth is inconvenient.
Mankind is a flawed species.
Greed and violence
Lust for power
Taints our entire history
We are vicious animals.
The truth is inconvenient.

We are supposed to be intelligent. At our best we produce great art, dance, music and crafts; we show compassion and empathy, care for our sick. At our best we are wonderful.
But a brief glance at our history reveals a litany of hate and violence.
I look around at the world today and see war, religious hatred, division, poverty, destruction, pollution and misery. We are destroying the planet and ourselves.
We are self-destructively flawed.

My mate Graham sent me this!! Superb!
My wife is a dancer. Where-ever we travel the one thing I know will be on the agenda is an evening of traditional dance. She will hunt out performances and book tickets. I will sit through hours of performance as local musicians and troupes of dancers all in traditional costumes perform dances based on old rural tales, fairy stories or traditional stories. From the type of costumes and stories, I imagine a lot of these evolved out of performances aimed at the royal courts.
They usually involve demons, gods and hapless love.
Cambodian dance seems to have these colourful, pristine villagers performing everyday tasks – like harvesting rice. Not quite what I was seeing out in the fields.
Cambodian dance involves a lot of elaborate hand gestures. All very stylised.
