It is a very interesting time to be alive. I always wanted to live through interesting times and oh, how I have. I could go backwards through the list of major national and global events I have been contemporary to, but I won't.
Today is the 6th day of August in the year of our Lord 2021.
I think about today.
The Delta variant of COVID 19 is spreading like wildfire it seems. I do not live in fear of it, but rather in fear of what further actions may be taken against the free peoples of this earth in the name of combating it.
I look about me and see a nation being torn asunder by masters of division and of power and consequently of wealth for whom this pandemic has been the greatest gift ever bestowed upon them.
We have this beautiful thing called history in which I indulge myself often and we know how these things end. We know what horrors occur when government casts liberty to the wind in response to crisis. People die, a lot of people die. But alas history is doomed to repeat itself
But I also see people, most of them are really good. I believe in my fellow human. Some are even my opponents, ideologically and/or otherwise and thats okay.
If we cannot treat people decently and respectfully because they think different than us then I’m not quite sure how we can pretend to be anything other than brute animals of the field.
There is far more good in this world than there is bad.
Love, M
