The Malignant Narcissist Trump (and his fascist party) has Begun to Fundamentally Change America Into the Authoritarian Shit Hole He Desires...
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
"All worldly pursuits have but one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow; acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in separation; births in death. Knowing this, one should, from the very first, renounce acquisitions and storing-up, and building, and meeting; and, faithful to the commands of an eminent Guru, set about realizing the Truth. That alone is the best of religious observances. Milarepa
"What you are is what you have been. What you’ll be is what you do now. The Buddha
"Irrigators channel waters; fletchers straighten arrows; carpenters bend wood; the wise master themselves. The Buddha
"An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea." The Buddha
“Sorrow is better than fear. Fear is a journey, a terrible journey, but sorrow is at least an arrival.
When the storm threatens, a man is afraid for his house. But when the house is destroyed, there is something to do. About a storm he can do nothing, but he can rebuild a house.”
― Cry, the Beloved Country
As we witness the transformation of our beloved American democracy and the freedoms and personal liberties that have been our strongest and most enduring strengths I am reminded of the book Cry the Beloved Country. A book read when I was 17 years old, during the apartheid in South Africa. The book had a deep and lasting impact on me, and while I do not pretend to recall everything, I have never forgot its message.
As we see the authoritarian trajectory of the nation under Donald Trump and his party I found myself recently reflecting on this moving novel and its message. A message about the universal suffering of enslaved or oppressed people at the hands of privileged and well to do white oppressors.
There is little question but what America is staring into the future of a nation, that under the misdirection and self interests of a privileged unprincipled white multi-billionaire, who has already begun stripping many of the protections put in place by far more intelligent and enlightened people, that this nation is now destined to face a less free, more restrictive, and oppressive environment. And expect the othering, prejudices, and discrimination to increase and become, again, a staple pf life n the mew Amerika under Donald J. Trump and his fascist party of brown shirts.
Hence the reason for the lead in quote.
I fully expect that one day, perhaps soon, there will be a knock at my door. I am ready, and will stand firm in my convictions, regardless of consequences should it ever happen. Because I refuse to accept lies threats, or, tyranny laying down.
