A Sad Fact

You can’t come back from chaos, in chaos. This is why civilizations, nations and people’s fall. Unlike the commercial targeted towards senior citizens, they fall, cannot get back up, and the only people that can help them get back up have absolutely no interest in doing so. It is too much work to waste precious gasoline, come to your house, and pick you up off the floor, again. In any medical emergency, the bleeding must be stopped before the repairs made. We thought there were ‘banks’ and ‘corporations’ that were too big to fail, and in such a predicament, higher authorities cannot let them fail. And yet there comes a time when no matter how great the assistance at each preceding fall, the sick old man or woman will indeed fall, but not get up, ever again, even if they are still ‘living’. They are alive, but they have lost the battle with ‘gravity’ forever, and gravity and balance are the first thing a child struggles against as it makes the effort to walk upright. Great nations and civilizations battle with ‘gravity’, the feeling of being pulled down as they seek the creative energy and forces associated with rising, walking and even running with the other nations they see around them. Thus, they construct and conduct their cultures to be ‘struggling to be upright and balanced’. For instance, consider concepts such as the rule of law and prohibitions against sexual immorality. Any society/nation/people that no longer struggles to be ‘balanced and upright’ and does not emphasize the public and private duty to struggle to be ‘upright’ and ‘balanced’ is operating in hedonism, nihilism, and chaos. Such an example is post-modern Black American culture and American culture in general. It is overtly and proudly in a hedonistic phase that is a badge of freedom for fools, and an omen of impending disaster to the wise. It is that chaos that I spoke of at first when I said, ‘you can’t come back from chaos, in chaos’. Sons and Daughters, let them that have ears, hear.
