Re: Is it wrong........
Hi Corbin. We have seen the constant mono/dialogues for how many years? You, should you be one of the attendees, would approach the matter in hopes of accord -- if not amity. Yet, all I see now is political musical chairs, where, when the music stops and you aren't seated -- you're dead; metaphorically and possibly physically as well. None of these people seek accord, nor do they, IMO, desire it. Only breathing room and time to devise the next strategy. That feud, if you will allow me . . . that feud is strictly of Bibical proportions, and all claim to have God's ear. No, I do not believe all hope is diminished, but I do feel that the public is clamoring for a "pollitical" accord, while secretly praying for an accord that will vanquish -- forgiveness seems an impossibility to many -- their enemies once and for all. There is practiced deceit on all sides; and the water of well-being is tainted with old blood. Who desires to carry that pail?

Is it wrong........
to even try? Or is all hope diminished? That's me the eternal (or some may say infernal) optimist....

Re: Joab---we may both have been as jaded, as skeptical when money-masters make
ladyi daydi . . . thank you for your most thoughtful and incisive comments. To me, they are beyond questioning. And when you speak of overcoming death, I am always reminded of John Donne's magnificent poem, which begins -- and I hope I'm close: "Death, be not proud, though some have called thee mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so, and soonest our best to thee must go, rest of their bones and soul's delivery...." And so goes the rest. Perhaps you will read it, if you haven't already done so. Your blog is one of my most frequent stops -- thank you for your posts. Shalom. Shanti. joab

But my Creator makes me thank every effort toward peace--wiping the widow's tears and filling the screaming bellies of orphans -- for He said "Blessed are the peacemakers..." After all, Gore did become himself when he lost almost all, or the biggest material prize there is in our world of material and poltiical power. Shalom & thanks for your insights, comments & overcoming death, even conquering death. There is a freedom we know when we fear death no more; when we say "I am ready if I must go. There is no work that can stand time anyway...so take me. I will overcome where I go next, too."
