Darwin was right all along. We adapt to changing stimuli… or we die. One cannot fight change. In the long run, the Search for Meaning is meant to validate it. Its intrinsic value is part of our genetic legacy. We carry the Mortality-defying spirit of our Ancestors in our allele. We live on because we struggle to adapt. We stop struggling, we die. The Choice is Ours.
Antisemitism does have a silver lining, just not for the Jewish people. Life is Sardonic, eh! Turns out a good deed doesn’t earn you another. For if this were true, Jews would be celebrated as the saviors of Poland from the Black Death. Instead, they became the scapegoats of a 2,000-year long blood libel that unjustly marked them as deicides in Christendom. If you want to know more about the motives behind this, step right in.
Promises have no role to play in politics. They are less reliable than cheap toilet paper. National Security cannot be entrusted in the care of foreign powers. Neutrality means nothing today because it is based on a gentlemen’s agreement. As international treaties go they cannot replace hard military power for defence against aggression. If a foreign power sees an in, they will exploit it. It is the job of statesmen to bridge those security gaps left open by their gullible predecessors. War and Peace depend on it!
People like their comforts. I get it. People enjoy technology. They think it helps them live better lives. False. Technology makes people needy. They need, nay, crave comfort. That’s where Government steps in. They provide the comfort People pay for. That’s how Government controls the People. They lose their Freedom. But, hey as long as they have wi-fi, it’s all good, right! That’s how Corruption works.
There are no good or bad guys in geopolitics. Everyone is tainted. False analogies do not help anyone. A valid analogy does.
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.
A fighter is born not made. I once saw a diminutive man stand up to a giant of a bully. Not once did the man raise his voice. He clearly stated the facts and the bully got out of his establishment. My grandfather taught me the value of principles. One lives and dies by them. One does not change one’s principles. My grandfather taught me family is the most important thing on Earth. One fights and dies protecting one’s family.
Romania has always been a special mythical land. Its beauty is only trumped by its capacity to promote special characters into power. Step right in for a brief history lesson.
Entitlement is the Road to Perdition. Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad. Problem: A fool and his rights are soon parted. One man's loss is the other man's gain. Solution: Jefferson.
It’s a dog eat dog out there. The Romans knew that. The Barbarians did too. Somehow, somewhere, some people decided that “live and let live” is preferable to “survive and prosper”. Not sure everybody else on Earth got that memo. But hey, I am Devil’s advocate! What do I know?
