Messages in a Bottle


Bottle, envelops, emails, postcards, touch, looks, words, all carry messages with double messages, disinformation, “almost truths”. I believe it would be “a giant step for man kind” to create an instrument that actually discloses what the sender really wants to communicate. First, there would be no politicians and therefore the world would become much saner.

It is not that people would stop saying bad things. What it means is, everyone would deal with what is in people’s heart without lies or distortion, for good, or bad, the truth is the truth. When a person likes me or not; or if they are sorry for a mistake or not, in relationships it makes a big difference to know I can always count with the truth. It is less crazy making. That is in the realm of individual relationships, never mind how different would be at the level of international relationships, at work, everywhere.

Now at my age, after many bad experiences with Humanity, I have developed a warning system that alerts me when there is a lie floating around: I feel nauseous. Something feels “not right”. Yet these feelings are difficult to interpret since we are so good liars, even to ourselves. Society on the other hand has proven to me to be so insincere. The bad side to this reaction to untruth is that must of the time, wherever I go, I feel nauseated. It is not physical. It comes from the soul: "Soul Nausea". Even when I enjoy being around humans, sometimes it overwhelms me. I think hermits have something going for themselves.

I wish I could have a magic bottle where I could place people's messages to receive their true meanings. There are people who also suffer because of having problems expressing good things. Their words come out all wrong. I know they mean well, but the words that come out their mouths make me wonder. That makes me feel crazy too. A magic message bottle that gives me the sender’s real message would be great. I am sure it would get rid of my nausea and make the world a much pleasant place to live. Where do I get one?
