The West is in free fall. The rot is everywhere. Our amorality has destroyed us. Because we ourselves are cowards, we detest courage in others. If we are lucky, it will be a quick decay into a state of confusion. If not, this living corpse will take a long time to expire. Optimism is cowardice. We are wanton optimists. Shame on us!
This generation is truly and royally screwed. We are being robbed of the fruit of our own labor. Yet we do nothing. We deserve our lot. In the past, people were less forgiving of those who would deprive them of the product of their work. If they saw us accepting this level of taxation, they’d spit on us. We are pathetic.
Thomas Paine was one of the most lucid and far seeing thinker and Founding Father of the American Revolution, and of the English Enlightenment.

The life of Emperor-Stoic Philosopher Marcus Aurelius is testament of a Man who Soldiered on against all odds. Life threw every trial, tribulation and ailment at him. And still he defiantly woke up … Continue reading Animus in consulendo liber
If you believe in the No pain, no gain adage, then you must make a choice. Do you want to live a life free from pain? If so, you chose the yoke of Comfort. If you want to retain agency in your life, then you have chosen wisely. You chose Painful Freedom.
George Carlin once famously said about the American Dream that it was called like that because one had to be asleep to reach it. Same thing goes for Democracy. It is quickly turning from a clear reality into a figment of imagination. And boy, does one need to use their imagination to get the feel they live in a Democracy or what. As it happens, Tolerance is undermining Democracy. We are asked, forced, nay compelled to tolerate others but nobody else follows suit. Tolerance cuts both ways. But nobody else tolerates Us. How come?
Are we too many or not enough? Do we accept the narrative of the Elite? Or do we forge our own Future in the heat of battle against tyranny? We all have a choice to make because if Life is about Anything, it is about Freedom. And Freedom is about Making a Choice. I made my choice. How about you?
