Don't Forget--Life Sucks
(Apollonian, 4 July 19)
(Apollonian, 4 July 19)
Gosh, Olivier, but I almost missed this one little crack thou made: <blockquote>"– the Yankees are not ruthless people (they are receivers of stolen land and committed genocides)."</blockquote> But note humans are sinners by nature, and there isn't a land anywhere that wasn't conquered by someone, ancestors of those living there presently--it's the way of the world, including humanity--didn't thou ever learn such basic thing(s)?
Life sucks, according to all Western culture's wisest, beginning w. Homer, and the very nature of life is warfare and conflict: "war is general, and justice is strife, and all things come about by way of strife and necessity"--Heraclitus of Ephesus, 5th cent. BC. "Nature, red in tooth and claw," was Tennyson's characterization, which the Darwinists took up along w. "survival of the fittest."
Human survival is never guaranteed, under any circumstances, much a matter of dumb luck and God's will, but aside fm those it always helps to be strong as possible, in mind as well as body, eh?--at least for the proper understanding of things. And in the waging of war, it's hard to be "moderate," isn't it? For if one's life is at stake, one tends to always going all-out before one can breathe easy--it's way God made us to be, eh?
So what's really thy complaint, Olivier?--thou just regret reality, eh?--but is that "Yankees" fault?--I don't think so. Yanks did best they could, no less than thy ancestors or anyone else. I thought thy statements of # 785 were right-on, almost all the way through--it was just that one little deviance where thou went seriously off track.
