Change is inevitable, of that we are certain. Destiny is not a given but a choice and our choices are greater now than ever before in recorded history…
Today represents the greatest achievement of American history the peaceful change of choice…
Responsibility, like change, is also inevitable; we are responsible for our actions and yes even our lack of actions. We are attached to the comforts of our life as much as the miseries… we are often attached because its familiar. We need to survive and to survive we need to master our world at least in our minds. Often, survival and mastering our destiny are self delusions based on our circumstance; every slave believes he can manipulate and control his master, every addict believes they are in control and not the substance…
Our spirituality rounds out the concept; we pray and we dream and we wait only to repeat endlessly this process
Hope…
That’s what a world waits for …
I prefer action, “facto non verb”, by deed not word
Today the world unleashes hope and today I pray we quickly take action I pray for world leaders who are decisive and men and women of action and moral responsibility.
Hope
The worst of all evils is today our mantra
Hesiod tells us of Pandora who opened her pithos and unleashed upon mankind the evils of ills, diseases, and burdensome labor; to slow to escape was the worst of all evils, later as mankind fell into despare she revisted her box and once again opened it unleasing the weak and tired hope… soon hope would become the most powerful of all the unleased evils. It would infect all of mankind…
It is said that the gods placed hope in the Jar because Zeus did not want man to cast off his life in dispare, no matter the torment and pain of the other evils, man would rather be tormented anew, to that end the greatest evil is hope, the most evil of all evils, as it prolongs man’s pain and torment.
Today we celebrate Hope …
Let’s refocus and celebrate action and choice for these are the virtues that will shape a world. Yes they come with the risk of mistakes but as history shows, nothing great can be created without mistakes for all mistakes can be corrected …while hope prolongs its self into a never ending torment..
May god bless our President and may he abandon hope for choice and words for action.. as he leads a troubled world to its chosen destiny
God Bless our land and help President Obama finally close Pandoras box and renew in man the freedom of choice…
