It Will Get Better...
Friday – June 19, 2026

It will get better... Will it? Of course not, well at least not for everyone. See, for a lot of people out there, it will not get better: if you have what they, the profane scientists, call stage 4 cancer, it will not get better; if you have a disease that makes your skin slowly peel off, it will not get better; if you were born into poverty, it will not get better, at least likely; if you are ugly, it will not get better, etc, etc, etc,... Perhaps I come across a little bit rash here, but I felt that it was necessary for me to write about this topic today because I am tired of listening to all the propaganda, to all the noise, because there is indeed a lot of suffering on life, and this annoying Western modality of assuming that action alone will rectify every fault and every weakness is starting to get to me, and I guess it is my job to crush your hope. Yes, I am being facetious right now, but for good reasons: see, people will often that that thing will get better and that time will heal every wound, but this is simply not true; really, this lie must be exposed for what it is, and yes I understand as well as you do, that people will tell themselves all of these fancy lies in order to escape the world, but if the point of modernity is to escape the world, which it is, then I will be the first person to admit that this is quite impossible. I guess too, that whenever people are not forced to spend money one something, that they are more likely to lie, which is funny but also understandable, read "Gold", but in the case of lying people actually do not always know that they are lying, and this can happen for a couple of reasons, but it seems to me, read my "Personal Notes series", that most people that go on to lie to other people without knowing that they are lying are actually victims of the same lie, which may seem obvious, but the reason why they are victims of the same lie is actually because they are lying to themselves, and in a lot of ways it becomes necessary for modern men to lie to themselves because the limitations of the industrial world tends to make it too hard to accept reality, the crude reality of mere substance, or really the crude reality of watered out substance; sure, people get tired of this and they end up lying to themselves and then to others, and in the case of "It Will Get Better" this kind of lying is nothing new but perhaps something of its own kind, but what you must understand is that it is a lie, yes I am repeating myself here, and it is a rather monstrous lie in both size and impact.

    Take this example to heart: would it be in full accordance with the Bodhicitta to lie to a child that is severely ill that he will experience better days ahead? Of course not, and this is not only true in that given example; it is true for all practical purposes in life, and a man that strives to better the world, if this be possible, should indeed embrace honesty, not for the sake of himself but for the sake of the world at large, really for the sake of balancing the scales of the celestial order, for while that crucial information may seem cruel in the moment, it would be more cruel to lie in the long run, for in the end that child will suffer and continue to suffer, for that is the fate that has befallen him, really he has been ordained to suffer but so has every other man in this corporeal existence. This is also why it would be proper to pray, not for the betterment of the human condition, but for the release from the human condition, and really if one can appreciate the futility in the human condition, it will become easier to understand why it is perfectly impractical—again I am merely referring to these matters in their material application—to lie about these matters. Another example of a lie that is borne out of misguidance is the man that lies to his wife about her cooking: would it be righteous to lie to your wife about her cooking? Well, it depends because that situation is actually different from the blunt fact that a sick child is eventually going to die, especially a sick child that is currently suffering form an incurable ailment such as cancer in the, so-called, 4th state; now, I should add that just because a condition such as cancer is or is not incurable has nothing to do with the dictates of profane science, and it could very well be the case that the child in the example could be cured, but in accordance only with sacred medicine, something that is quite forgotten these days, read "The End of History". But to carry on the example of that husband that asks himself if he should actually tell the truth to his wife about her clearly bad cooking, read "Are Certain Foods Immoral?": well, in that instance it would be prudent if the husband asked himself weather or not him lying is keeping out some crucial information, and for the most part it seems to me obvious that by lying to his wife he is actually engaging in Bodhicitta, not because he is lying, but because he is avoiding troubles that simply do not matter; yes, you may say that the husband is lying, he certainly is, but you may also say that it is his and only his concern that he does not fancy his wives cocking, and especially this would be true if this happens infrequently, because it may become more necessary for him (the husband) to tell his wife the truth if indeed this is a frequent occurrence.

    Whether or not the husband lies to his wife in the example provided above is of little importance as the overall points still stands: things in life do not get better, at least not without proper and focused effort, read "Heroism or Cynicism?", and this makes sense since we reside in a surrounding cosmological environment, read "The Eschatology of the Kali Yuga", that simply does not favor a passive approach to life; do not confuse this with the "Pacific Route" and "Radical Peace", as they are quite different things, but a further explanation would be far outside the scope of this post. Again and to reiterate: nothing simply gets better; either you must improve actively, or it has been ordained form a time now gone that some aspect of the world, of life, will not be made to improve, and indeed this is already the case for the world at large, as we, again, live in the age of the Kali Yuga, and the stage is set for global catastrophe, read "Destruction!" and "Disintegration". Again, do not confuse the action, the supra-human action, of improvement with that crude and populist kind of, so-called, improvement of the material; here I am referring strictly to the supra-individual order.
