I never knew that fiends without brains can continue to prove that they lack that which they think they have and blindly go on a rampage to prove just that. Without exaggeration, I wonder if real demons flee when they see these malevolent fiends with diabolical schemes.
A new dawn turned into a blooming nightmare and all you have to do is to visit the various websites in my country and you can begin to understand the muted anger and subtlety of this message.
It is easy to be downcast when tough times hit us, when all that many worked for fizzled out because of deceit, selfishness, moral deprivation, greed and conniving devils in the flesh. Tragically, many labored, campaigned and saw their dreams go up in smoke.
Are the vicious, vile, heinous fiends gloating? You bet. Feasting too, probably.
Do they have a soul? I wonder how well they will sleep knowing that they have outdone any production house from the West to the East, from the North to the South, even beyond the animal kingdom. Run out of ideas for the next blockbuster? Take a page from this book called "The Scandalous Spectacle of a Shredded Democracy". Guaranteed to sell, to knock you out, blow your brains out to smithereens because what you see is beyond imagination, beyond the celluloid world, ethereal, surreal or neanderthal?
Conscience? That word is not in their vocabulary.
Fame or notoriety? Justice or evil? Freedom or subjugation? Democracy or autocracy? Warriors for the right cause or renegades? Honor or disgrace?
For many, the choice is for the former but for the malevolent characters that stealthily strike leaving no stone unturned, the latter is the name of the game. Silver can become soot. Historical towns transformed into war zones where it is not even safe to eat in a restaurant any more.
*shudder*
Reminds me of a story from never-never land..
Once upon a time, there was a kindergarten with one class where the pupils disputed who should be the class monitor. No matter how loud the cries, the teacher watched with folded arms and allowed madness to rule. Two groups of students quarreled and shot paper bullets at each other. One group brazenly met with the assistant monitor and kicked out the rightful monitor. When other students protested, they were sent to the principal's office. Now, tell me. What did those kids learn from that institution? How and what do you think they will teach their children and grandchildren in years to come?
But we must not give up or be disheartened. Anger is also bad for the soul and body. What can we do?
Simple.
Consolidate. Reinforce. Strengthen from within.
To stoop to their level is anathema!
A wise and understanding heart does not repay a hurt with a hurt. In doing so, the heart is diminished. Fissures form. Love leaks out. Every pain given in return for one received, changes the contents of the heart. It is no longer defined by love, wisdom and understanding. It is redefined by the bearers of hurt and hate, pain and prejudice, meanness and madness, sorrow and sadness. You give away control of your very own heart. That must not happen.
The despair of being hurt is healed by overcoming it, not clinging to the hurt and inflicting more of it on the world. When darkness is added to darkness, no one can see, no one can love.
Everyone loses. But the one who upholds integrity and honor will make milestones in life while those who walk in the opposite direction will forever be embedded in the hall of disgrace. They are human but devoid of heart, soul, spirit and conscience.
The fight for just cause may not always be warm and fuzzy. Indeed, the road to justice is a long and winding one indeed.
It's integrity we hold on to when we're tempted to strike back.
It's honor that keeps us from exchanging the valuable contents of our heart for the harsh satisfaction of lashing back.
No, the way of truth is not always easy, but when night falls, dawn is assured.
The integrity and honor of a wise and understanding heart, rises with the sun of a new day.
And rise we must. Reflect...Consolidate...Reinforce and be ready the next time, ensuring that there are no loopholes, no complacency and no cause for complain or ground for the devils to attack.
A new day will come.....
