HIND SIGHT We are, it appears, going to have and exceptional number of curious things to "look back upon" in our future.
We ordinarily called such subjects remembered incidents and conditions "memories " don't we? And, we also tended to think of them as having been something of a quality which made them be worthy of being retained as a mementos of good times we once knew.
How are we going to attend to and cherish some of today's violence, disagreement, hatred and criminal? How can we possibly make memories of such events and occasions as those which seem to be so common to our way-of-life now in our time...war, terrorist plots, actions of deceit and treachery and enslavement - an endless array, it seems of life's negative aspects.
Unseen, there is good in such evil!
I seems, I know, impossible that we might find ever the slightest Hope in such Horror! We see a complex maze of man's best and worst efforts set at cross-purposes of which we have only such control as must come from within our selves.
Rest assured it does so, too!
Think back over the prurient fund of Evil Mankind has known; then face thereupon a strange men engrossing growth of goodness in the form of new, inspired, strong, capable leaders - men and women - imbued with concepts, ideas, ambitions, dreams, yes, and workable plans, as well, which rise up -often from strange areas, to confront the self-devouring bulk of conjoined Evil. Evil encouraged by the presence of the new consciousness of goodness unwittingly doth eat of itself and come to know Death.
We are even now in that phase during which we will find we can no longer permit growth upon us to appears we are going to have to some exceptional things to plan to find our future.
Our future leaders are among. We, each of us, need to seek them out by following our heart's longings. The election is not alone in the political or religious aspects of our life-style but in all and everything you do or have an interest or concern.
