A Dash Of Pragmatism

Clearly we are fast approaching the disintegration of the Bush Empire and its dark counterpart, and it would indeed behoove each and every one of us that values their sanity to be on the alert, as when such an implosion occurs there will be enough bitterness among the deceived to be literally dangerous. Such bitterness should not be reflected on those that are victims as much as we are in the USA. I speak of Iraqis as well as Iranians that have been drawn into this conflict as reluctantly as we ourselves were. It would be wonderful if this could all be swiftly resolved and the healing allowed to begin, but regrettably it will probably intensify before it subsides, and we must be prepared for any contingency. Unfortunately this little misadventure has stirred up a hornets nest, and much pent up anger will inevitably spew forth. This anger originates not only from those that have been harmed physically, but also from the millions of unseen that have been betrayed in the unseen domains. It is fair to say that there may be ‘gnashing of teeth’ to put a biblical spin on it, during which many unpredictable episodes may present themselves. It would go without saying that certain known belligerent or unspiritual persons might not respond well to attempts at conversion or return to reason at this particular junction of events. There will come a time when the slightest inflammatory remark will result in a violent and uncontainable reaction that may have dangerous consequences. Preaching and attempts at conversion or salvation may reap the wind when the judgment is impaired and reason falls by the wayside. The time when such confrontation can have any positive outcome is quickly vanishing since the world has arrived at such a dichotomous state that for the present reconciliation is impractical and even dangerous. In light of these possible developments, it would not be imprudent to copy and display some caveats on other blogs that are not directly linked to the present one. The word of God is not copywrited, so there can be no fear of infringement. However it may be wise to parse this prudently as there may indeed be instances where such information may encounter hostility and even may be misused and abused. Indeed expect such parsing to be hijacked and exposed to unsympathetic groups that may react in a vicious and unpredictable manner. It goes without saying that trying times may lay before us, so that extreme vigilance will be required of all sane and true disciples, and that our compassion as well as our judgment will be put to the test. It is impossible to predict how this may play out in this age of artificial hostility and social excess. In this matter we can only hope that we have learned our lessons well, and that we have the fortitude to resist the inevitable onslaughts. In this matter it may be wise to refrain from excessively pious displays as this may infuriate and provoke retaliation from individuals that are impaired through betrayal and hate. Sincere prayers are heard regardless of whether or not hands are clasped or heads are bowed. In this matter a dash of pragmatism will go a long way, as the true in spirit are all known to God.
