Remember this: There is always room for improvement even in the current Global climate.
Social media allowed the world to keep up with the truth, lies, propaganda and rhetoric at mercurial speeds of different subjects and topics. People, put in power by vote or other, has become the bane of existence for countrymen around the world. The power elected by vote, or power grab have unscrupulously besieged nations with the adjective of our time: Absurdity. The world entered an Age of Absurdity that could rival Alice in Wonderland. The people following in behind this are drunk off of the Wine of Folly that Dionyses himself could not have squeezed from a grape cluster.
Not unlike the novel, The Counte of Monte Cristo, you have a person in power fueled by his need to avenge himself at any cost; for he has been done a great wrong. If you have ever read this piece of literature, you find our good character, Edmond Dantes, set on the path of avenging false accusation and his subsequent incarceration in the French Chateau d'lf, against himself by his beloved friend, Fernand de Morcerf.
There are people in this life that can't handle being turned on. The Would-be Sage would tell you to choose who you have around you carefully to remind you that social circles can influence your character and destiny. You do not want to suffer the fate of the unlucky, or unfortunate person. When you have someone making decisions on your behalf without your input, you could be subject to the outcome of whatever that decision is and suffer the consequence in a most painful and violent way. Imagine if the leader does this and you get the brunt of it, how do you think you are going to feel? Trust is a very hard thing to get back once it is lost. Some people throw trust right out the window with little care of the boomerang effect it has.
Why do I bring this topic up on this particular page?
The behaviors of one followed by the many have become a Great Nothingness that wants to gobble up the world as we know it. It is spilling over into the dominion of the hunter, the fisherman, the hiker, game warden, park ranger, traveler, camper, naturalist, animal activist, botanist, anyone who loves a national or state park, anyone living in the vein of an indigenous spirit, and so on.
This is an army of people. We pay our state dues to government agencies to have a privilege that is a God given right, along with water. We know it is limited and thus require someone to monitor our intentions to make sure we do right by ourselves, our kids, and the Natural World. Greed and apathy are not options.
So yeah. I am making it my business-unasked and unannounced. I have seen a mass of videos, writings, news reports and the concerned citizen reporting the ever-spiraling news around the Natural World's present state. The bulk of this is influenced by human activity. We live in a stratum of existence where each level is living in its own bubble of affairs with little thought to the effect it has on the other. Within those bubbles are entities inflicting harm based on petty childish lick-backs.
Power is great but can lose itself when over-extended by fear of being powerless. We must think of what drives the need to seek power and how power can go unchecked and out of control to become a destructive force.
Do we have to get to a point where we are sitting in the rubble of our own existence before we think it might be a good idea to stop and reassess the trajectory that humanity is going?
The next question should be: where is the character of Jacopo when he faces Edmond on the road he is following? Who are these people that appear to let the misguided soul bent on revenge to destroy his own reputation, good standing, and legacy? Why do they not step in and make reason and commonsense a stop-pause to the potential devastation that there is no back-tracking from?
This is what Jacopo had to say to redirect Edmond from his own disaster:
Jacopo: "I understand you are mad."
Edmond: "My enemies are falling into my traps perfectly."
Jacopo: "Mad your Grace for ignoring this. You have a fortune, a beautiful woman who loves you. Take the money, take the woman, and live your life. Stop this plan. Take what you have won."
Edmond: "I can't!"
Jacopo: "Why not?"
(Lots of stares)
Jacopo: "I am still your man Zatarra. I swore an oath to protect you. I will protect you even if it means I must protect you from yourself."
If you are a person that votes, now is the time to recognize that what you hold dear is in jeopardy.
We need more Jacopos.
Jacopo: "I swear on my dead relatives-and even the ones who are not feeling to good-I am your man forever!"
Adieu!
