I agree... joyful as god and nature intended... But it's only our natural state, if we remain natural. The boogabear of our time… Transhumanism would replace natural with neutral - as that is the preferred state of the machine, waiting to be driven or directed.
You ready for that? I'm not. Joy is too big to be contained like that, without doing great harm to our being. So when I speak of our being in a "war" - it is a struggle for the preservation of our spirit... a spiritual war to preserve innocence and joy.
Some people tell me I am being too dark, or negative or even angry. I find that amusing , as I don't believe I am any of those things. You don't pursue joy by taking the downward path. Downwardness, as in pain and suffering will be experienced along the way - but they will befall you in your time. You do not need to seek them out, and when they appear, your response to them should be as compassionate and joyful as is possible.
Anyway, that's my suggestion.
