| This William Blake poem, The Tyger, is stupendous... and timely. Thanks for posting, Candor7. Let me try to extract its meaning. A Tiger is a fearful creature to lambs... and people. So how could God create the Tiger and also create the Lamb? The answer lies in the last stanza:
In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Dare frame thy fearful symmetry. Symmetry is what holds our world together. Man, being a flesh eating animal, is a threat to the fish and cattle. Yet man needs protein to live. And if man does not constrain himself, he could destroy all the fish, cattle, and men on this Earth. So man is far more fearful than a mere Tiger. The proper way for men to live their short time of the Earth is to respect the symmetry of just Laws, and form self-reliant families and communities who deliver value to others as their means of livelihood and wealth. Likewise, we must keep our rulers and merchants in check to ensure they follow that Law. We the People must be ever-vigilant to control the avarice, tyranny, merit-destroying DEI, and corruption that naturally develops in governments. If we don't assert our control then the terrors of Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany, and Communist China are let loose on the World. History will show that people like President Trump and Charlie Kirk were the We-the-People-supporting warriors who brought back symmetry and life-sustaining balance to the Earth. |
Thank you for that post. A beautiful piece.
