Would that we could say that about the rest of the events cascading down the river, flooding all, overwhelming any and all efforts to ameliorate the damage. Unfortunately, too little, too late. Those caught in the rampaging out of control waters, infrastructure within its boundaries, are challenged, with great obstacles in place, survival questionable. Survival of a once glorious idea set into action, made real, defied any and all attempts to destroy it, be they from within or without, is now in great doubt. Damage to property is unavoidable and massive. Damages and threats to life are certain, expected to grow before the crisis is settled, one way or another.
This, my children, was one of the last few cogent commentaries upon the crisis in that land of long ago and far away. The situation deteriorated rapidly into chaos. All efforts to resolve underlying causative problems were futile. It was the Borg come alive. And the nation without a Picard. Time had run out for the people of the distressed nation, its seams ripping, its material shredding.
Thus, the country perished, and the dream died.
Take the lessons taught to us via this tragedy. A tragedy that need not have happened. Understand how special what we had was, what we so carelessly and callously tossed away. Its underpinnings and foundations had long been challenged and we ignored them or downplayed the level of peril for us. We allowed the enemies within to rise to the surface, assume positions of leadership, false and treacherous, without real challenge. The demands of their selfish souls proved too powerful, and their siren calls led the nation to perdition.
It came to a crux during a time when the world itself was battered by changing climate and huge twists and turns in Nature, evolving, reinventing itself, as it too searched for a path in a reconfigured system, vying for its setting at the new table, not of Knights, but of demons. People, overwhelmed by existential crises, beset by numerous tragedies, by the shredding of their lives, were exhausted, at the end of their ropes in every which way.
They were exhausted by the childish yet not so childish behavior of supposed leaders, the very ones we ourselves had so carelessly, callously, indifferently, unthinkably, stupidly, selfishly, sent to DC and the capitals of the nation.
Their antics proved to be not so spontaneous as we thought, instead had been coordinated via the leadership of the Trump Underground Party. Rantings and ravings, strange gestures, actually had been agreed upon signals, directives, to the faithful, the traitors of the nation, and revolution in real time was upon us. The aborted Jan. 6 rebellion had been the drill in preparation for the real deal. Too late the gag order. Too late the truth as it was revealed to us. Too late for a nation fractured, destroyed by lies and false accusations of absurd conspiracies, set upon by the selfish, out for their own benefit, of no true concept of loyalty and faithfulness to an ideal, to a country, to its people, to others, not merely, only, their selfish needs and desires.
What could we, should we have done to avoid the tragedy? Where did we go wrong, follow the wrong path, adhere to falsehoods presented by lying tongues? Why did we fail? How can we defeat its evil remnants, the dangers it continues to pose for us, especially if we repeat the errors of the past?
--------------------------------------------------------------
This is today's lesson. Be careful how you exit the building. Watchers are around. You, my children, are the hope for the future. A future. Be safe now so you can challenge later.
Always remember. We failed because we allowed our unity to disintegrate, to be false, lies perpetrated upon us by those who sought only for themselves. Others were of no account. That is the peril faced inevitably, if we forget, discard the idea of unity, of togetherness.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Could this be a scenario of a near future for us? Could be. Could very well be as we watched the nation; its unity and sanity devolve these past few years and the most recent shameful business of the budget, truly a thin surface over the ugliness aboil beneath. The ugly truth imploded with McCarthy's removal and the pettiness/seriousness of the resultant antics.
Ruthless behavior. Callousness and greediness to a level unheard of. Where does it end? Does it end? How can we end it, for we were the ones who enabled it all? Have we gone that bridge too far, burned it behind us, leaving no room to maneuver?
Only we can answer that question. We can solve for x if we pay attention to the truth, to honor and honesty, to our responsibilities to others as well as to ourselves.
Together can defeat disunity -with effort and clear minds. Separate the chaff from the wheat.
Today's national drill of the emergency alert system might serve as a wakeup call to us all. Not a drill, but a test of our resolve.
Together folks, together. In concerted, united, determined, knowledgeable effort.
Together.
Tomorrow. Today.
And together.
Only and always together.
Together, always together.
United for good.
Together.
Together.
HEAL THE WORLD.
HEAL YITZY!
