When I was in Mongolia after the demise of the Soviet Union they were rediscovering their heritage after 80 years of repression. It was like the new frontier because the old rules were gone and it was “get ‘er done, we don’t care what it takes. BUT IT WAS TOUGH! We will rediscover our heritage when we start over. It also made a difference which satellite country you lived in after the Soviet union went pouf.
It doesn’t mean we don’t do anything, we fight small battles but there is a heavy cost coming down the pike for bad decisions we haven’t paid yet.
Another way of looking at it is if we were living in old testament times and the prophet came by and told us we would be captured and carried away, what would we do?
Not trying to be negative but looking through history, I would say we are along for the ride but keep fighting the small battles. And survive to be there in the rebuilding process.
