It will take much to bring this country back to where it began, eh?
Well, sure looks like that. But things can change very fast — overnight in some times. Not necessarily by major tragedy either.
People just all of sudden wake up. Sort of like some bright morning light shining in the window in the morning.
Sort of like the boy in the Emperor’s New Clothes who hadn’t yet been cultural trained to have his mind override his eyes, so he sees the Emperor in nothing but, whereas everyone else up to that point not only says they see how wonderful his new robes are — because he is the Emperor — but they actually in their mind see him fully clothed.
Yet when the boy yell’s out he “He has no clothes!” that immediately breaks the paradigm.
What’s a real life example — life, fame and fortune are full of them. Famous one day, forgotten almost the next. Any teenager idol. Oh — I know — Santa Claus! It’s like that moment in many children lives where they discover that Santa is NOT real. There’s no going back, the uptake of the new paradigm is immediate. Immediate and one-way, but not without residual effect.
