If we were men from a generation which still had honesty and integrity and humility, we would listen for the truth, and live by it - but now, we only yap like dogs - or peep like frogs from our stupid position in this swamp. Opinion is not truth - collecting millions of similar opinions, does not make it truth - democracy is not led by high values, but pushed by the lowest denominator. We are better named and identified by what we tolerate, than what we support - and lying has become so commonplace, that our words and meanings have no value - we have no noble thought about anything.
Someone says something - we bark - someone offends us - we bark - someone kicks us - we cower - someone tells us a truth that discomforts us - and we bark, just so we cannot hear their words.
My advice? Shut up and listen... listen for the words that do not puff up our ego - listen for the condemning little things that no one has said except the little voices inside - listen for the uncomfortable truths that offer to lead us to a place of humility before Truth - because Truth is like a word spoken by the King of everything. It does not change like opinion - it does not blow in the wind, and it does not have ill-will towards us like our self-destructive opinions do - and it is by Truth that everything is made. If you are chosen to be a friend of Truth, it is a noble place - bow before it - and be a servant of it - and the mystery of all of this apparent nonsense may begin to make sense.
Yes, we are on a collision course with a stone wall - but that is not the end - just the end of our stupidity - bring it on - because this is the place where stupidity and wisdom meet - and the stupid loses when it collides with Truth - like where light meets darkness, light always wins. We can abuse everything good, but it will rise again - and we can follow the stupidest opinions that can be imagined, but they will all hit the wall - and good comes from this - so the end is not bad - but holding tight to stupid will be more painful - so let it go.
What is the truth? ... it might be all the things that we left behind when we came to where we are now - making noise about our rights, but we left them behind when we stopped seeking what is right - because it is only a free man who has rights - and we have become slaves to some ... things that are not right - to some values that are not right, and to some leaders who do not love us or truth.
Sounds like someone is having trouble getting a Big Red going - I'd better help.
