I watched FoxNews issue a message this week. There are terrible things afoot under the surface of our society and the perpetrators are coming for you and coming for us.
Then I watched the Democrats respond in panic & anger, saying, there are terrible things afoot under the surface of our society and the perpetrators are coming for you and coming for us.
Are there terrible things afoot bubbling under the surface? Is something coming for you, and for us?
Ask yourself how true that is of yourself and your own life.
Have you addressed all that?
Are you concerning yourself with the dust in your enemies eyes instead of attending to the filth that obscures your own sight?
Do we want accusation, suspicion, discord, derision, and hatred? Or the peace and prosperity and happiness that beckons to us at this moment, like never before?
Who’s the enemy here?
Is it the basket of deplorables?
Is it the freaks & the queers?
Is it the plumbers and carpenters and trademen and managers that work honestly and diligently the day?
And the soldiers who stalwartly defend the borders and protect us?
Is it the artists and visionaries whose expressions of unbridled creativity entertain & rejuvenate us and who continue to offer to us an unending panoply of technological miracle?
Is it the institutions that guide and protect us that so many lived and died to erect and establish which for all their faults have served us so well?
Do we want revenge or justice?
Do you want contempt or mercy?
Do we want war or peace?
And what are you aiming at in your heart of hearts?
I see even the best of men degenerating into the exchange of blows.
I see even the best of men identifying the enemy in our neighbors and friends .
I see even the best of men falling prey to cowardice & self rigteous anger.
It needs to stop.
I need to stop.
You need to stop,
before its too late.
Who is the enemy here?
The snake in your heart? The lies on your tongue? The arrogance of your intellect? The cowardice of our refusal to see?
The enemy is that which divides to sow discord.
The enemy is the pride and the fear that stops us from lending a hand across the divide.
The enemy is the great and eternal adversary of mankind.
And if we demonize our brothers and comrades in arms, do we not precisely call that dread spirit forth?
Have we not yet learned?
Courage. Trust. Truth. Love.
Even unto your enemy, which is yourself.
God forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
May what is highest guide our vision.
May what is highest open our ears.
May what is highest guide our tongues.
And may we pray fearful of the hell could so easily and carelessly and create.
Deliver us from evil.
Shine a light into the corners of our dark hearts.
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever.
Amen.
