This was originally written in 2016 but I never published it, it seemed right then but it seems just as relevant now so I might as well send it through...
If the 'ringleader'* the 'circus master*' the 'puppet master*' *(plural if need be), are the ones running things behind the scenes, and no matter what things are going to go as they go, maybe the best thing is just to go with it sometimes.... instead of fight it, because after all, we all like a good show (or ride), don't we?! And if there is no way to fight it anyway, why struggle?! These can be rhetorical questions... ofc... something to think about.... but think about it, the only way off the 'ride' is to get off the ride! But a lot of us don't want to.... or feel the need to.... and that's fine, that's the way things are, but... it doesn't mean some of us (or a lot of us) can't comment on it along the way.... but if you want to get off the merry go round, you just get off... only if it's going round and round and round as merry go rounds do, and pretty fast, the music is mesmerizing, the incessant motion of the horses is a pleasurable bit of merriment... the people you are sharing the ride with are important or amusing to you, then it makes for a satisfying diversion, and it is hard to just 'get off' the ride... (one could get hurt as well....). There are really so many things going on at once... and many below the surface... and we won't really know what until the end of the ride ... or not until the last curtain call.... not until after the play.... so let it be.... but just know what it is... and who you are... the special role you are supposed to play, and with what and whom you are dealing... never forgetting the nature of the ride.... and its purpose...
