When you see someone running madly down a hill or toward a railroad crossing with a train coming down the tracks, do you want to try to stop that mad dash, or just get out of the way?<\/p>\n
Being less reactive can work quite nicely for you. The emotional screaming displays (of which I have only seen a few) in overgrown children do not do them any credit. Just smile and nod and get out of the way while they follow their own train wreck does work.<\/p>\n
There seem to be two new religious orders growing that no one told us about in advance: one is the so-called “green movement”, which is aimed at depleting the coffers of governments that are run by or which employ dimwittted soulless creatures (like the last one who got caught without his mask on a commercial flight). The other seems to be the so-called “woke-ist movement”, in which reality is turned upside down and nothing makes any sense at all.<\/p>\n
Fanaticism is not a pretty thing. It can turn on its own.\u00a0 Please remember that while Roebespierre, who hated anyone even vaguely linked to royalty and sent more than 30,000 souls to the guillotine, was himself sent to that fate by The Committee because they were fed up with his Schei\u00dfe<\/b><\/span><\/span>. Unfortunately, the only person who could really get rid of the toyals was Napoleon, and he, too, ended his career rather badly.\u00a0 Stalin outdid him: he demoted and eventually jailed and then executed something on the order of 35,000 to 37,000 officers of the Red Army, because they had participated in the Revolution overthrowing the Czar.<\/p>\nThere are lots of changes going on in the world now, and change makes most of us uncomfortable. We don’t see the need for it. Time to grab a cold drink (or hot), turn off the TV and get a good book instead, and put your feet up.<\/p>\n
This, too, shall pass. Just get out of their way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
