I read the news to know what’s happening in the world, and to get a laugh between sighs and shaking my head. The 45th president is now selling Bibles. And Joe Biden is willing to risk his presidency because he can’t end his bro-mance with Netanyahu. Those are the laughs. The truths are more sinister.
The 45th president continues to be supported by people willing and eager to be led. People willing to tear apart our nation rather than work towards a republic of diversity, equity and inclusion. The laugh is that many of them brag of being “saved”.
Rather than supporting the pussy-grabbing pres, you would think they would be keen to keep Biden in office. His love affair with Israel is right on track with the death wish of Zionist Christians – as the blood of Palestinians runs in the streets and the US remains complicit in genocide – these folks rally for the Rapture.
The Liberals, who fear the Right, sacrifice righteous anti-war and other humane positions on immigration, the environment and more because they don’t want to lose elections – or is it because they don’t want to lose their status quo lifestyles?
Wisdom has guided us throughout human history, but we have been slow to listen and to learn. We’d rather be led. We’d rather be comfortable. This unconscious living isn’t working very well these days, is it?
Yet it is very apparent that if a drop more kindness could erupt in our hearts as quickly as our anger and our judgement, the ways we live together could change. We could usher in ways of peace. This cultivation of kindness is not out of reach. So, what will it take to bring on this revolution?
A little stepping back, a little more questioning, a little more knowing and a lot less believing; it will take listening to yourself, not the slick salesmen. It will take a keen desire to be human again.
For those who yearn to be human again, I suggest the following:
