Please forgive the rant. I chose the first thread to express my epiphany of sorts. I have to write it somewhere before it vanishes like so many compelling thoughts I find. In trying to figure out WTF is wrong with this world so that I might find the inner ability to prepare my two kids better in how to deal with the bleak future society has stumbled them into. I have doubts like anyone, and especially doubts that I can guide them any better than I myself have been guided. I have long wondered what, or why people drag us all down to the pits rather than choose to make a world with happiness, with greatness. I have come just now to understand that it is because of guilt that they dwell forever upon. Most are unaware of it, yet it exists and they spit it out into the world for all of us to witness. People harbor guilt from all of history. Guilt that their for-bearers killed Jesus, that ‘witches’ were persecuted, that slaves were brutalized, that Hitler, Stalin and Hideki Tojo had the insanity to destroy so many lives, and so much more. So, many of our neighbors of this life, feeling the guilt of history, try to compensate, yet deny what is right, and forge what is wrong because they ‘know’ that we humans do not deserve anything so right as peaceful coexistence on this earth. I feel no such guilt, because I understand I had no hand it these wrongs. I know that my two beautiful girls did not have hands in these disasters. Yet those who permit mohamadism, socialism, globalism, and other wicked social evils to flourish believe we all deserve such disasters because they have no other place to perch their guilt except upon we and our undeserving children. All we can do is continue to resist them, and therefore I must prepare my children to continue that resistance, that fight as well, while also trying to give to them optimism that their individualism has greater worth than most of their peers would ever acknowledge or allow. Despite the guilt of those who know nothing of worth, who invite dread upon us all to fill their emptiness, I simply ask Almighty to guide us to give our kids a fighting chance to make their world full of each of their plentiful worth. So I will teach them to resist, and to love, if I can.
Please forgive the rant.
Now I might sleep a bit better having emptied these thoughts.
Good night, my fellow Great Fighters, FReepers, for whom I am so thankful every single day.
No foolish rant. Great words.
That’s quite a mouthful. Paragraph breaks would do much to make your thoughts bite size.
