Not for me, but for yourselves... if you've been here as long as I have or longer, you all know what is coming... specifically with the vaccine. Yes... I have shared my hopium theories that it's not a killshot and that it may function more like a lottery. And while there is data to support those hopium taps, it doesn't change that fact that a significant portion of the population is going to drop. In fact... it's already starting...
Yes... I am aware of the horrible and vile things that the vaxtards have said. I am aware of the families that have been ruined. I am aware that you have no obligation to make peace and so I am not coming as an authority. In fact I NEVER speak with a authority. Authority doesn't come from Jesus. Jesus IS the authority and He never delegated any to us. Humans may have been granted dominion of all the animals, but nowhere where we given dominion over each other. That has ALWAYS been a man made construct.
And so with no authority, I ask you to consider your situation. OUR situation and ask yourselves is the last thing you want someone to remember you by and is the last thing you want to remember them by a petty argument that in the end means nothing? The vaccinated have sealed their fate so what changes? How does holding any kind of grudge improve their situation?
No... not every person will come to the table. And that is their choice to make. Even still it's important to let go of the animosity and the anger... we'll have enough to take care of rebuilding things- hell some of us are probably already picking up the slack.
Life is too short to be angry. And life is even all the more precious for the ones we care about who will soon be gone... I hate this situation and wish Jesus would come back if He hasn't already and fix all of this... unfortunately, I do think we are in a time of poetic foreshadowing. A lot of people still have respect and acknowledge Jesus. There isn't a mere remnant, not even close. At the same time... maybe that particular detail was mistranslated...
I won't pretend to know what exactly the future holds... sadly I feel "The ending is not for everyone" will be more than 6% and will be very bitter sweet... For any Star Trek fans out there, I feel the victory lap will be like the end of the Dominion War Where Sisko and Admiral Ross pour out their bloodwine in response to Martok trying to celebrate their hard earned victory over and impossible foe. We won. Wooo.
We'll tell ourselves, "They made their choice! I don't want to feel sad! I shouldn't have to!" And though we're right it doesn't matter. It was NEVER about being right... it's about what IS right... and what IS right is trying to make peace before it's too late...
I have a different take, which isn't well sorted out admittedly. That's because it's going to take me a long, long time to untangle it all.
I would use words/phrases like, "traumatized," "deeply disturbed," and "extraordinarily angry" to describe my experience of the pandemic. So far, what I've got sorted is this:
There is a dark evil that dwells deep in humans. In peaceful societies like ours, it often lays dormant. But the pandemic revealed people for who and what they really, truly are -- a mostly harmless "go with the flow" normie, a petty tyrant Karen, or a critical free-thinker.
Why did I not cave? Because my life is firmly rooted on the foundation of immovable convictions, beliefs, and morals. I couldn't live with myself if I violated my most deeply held convictions.
Forgive them? Maybe. I'm not sure on that yet. This is EVIL we're wrestling with here. My own father said that my front door should have been kicked in and I should have been force-injected or hauled off to a re-education camp. That's a lot to untangle...and that's just one example of how one person treated me. Is this what Jung meant by "the shadow self?"
Peterson's stuff is helping me get sorted. My reading list: People Of The Lie, Ordinary Men, Gulag Archipelago. Recommendations welcome. Thanks for reading.
Holy shit, your father said that to you? I’m so sorry 😞
What part of the world do you live in for him to even consider forced injections, re-education camps and having your door kicked in?
I’m in NYC and there are definitely unhinged people with those opinions here. But I guess I’m shocked that a parent could feel that way.
I appreciate it, fren, thank you.
I'm in fact not too far from NYC -- you've gotta get the heck out of there and out into the country!
Meanwhile, yeah, it's a lot to process and sort out. Otherwise good, christian people suddenly have this deep-rooted evil "activated" and directed at innocent people...because CNN told them so.
