Ideology for the Ages

What am I most comfortable with?

Will it make my life better?

Does it make me feel good?

Or is it fear that motivates me?

Can I mostly ignore it?

Or will it force me to look at myself?

And my choices?

Consequences are things I want to avoid.

So I will choose the path of least resistance!

Change is Inevitable

Certain symbols are used

Found within various markings.

Their meanings change because time moves forward.

Societies may come and go.

Even the symbols are adapted.

Given new life in altered shapes.

Who really knows what the lives of our ancestors were like?

So in order to affect the future

start with the one certainty

everyone has.

Themselves.

Their Terms

Respect comes when you see their demands.

You listen to their limits

and do your best to follow them.

Patience is sometimes required.

You wait for them to come to you.

Oftentimes it is a two way street.

Respect must be earned by both parties.

Mistakes will be made.

No one is infallible.

In the end it is worth it when you see how happy they are.

To Fear the News

Do you want to know the latest thing to have happened?

When all that is reported is horrible incidents.

Death, doom and despair.

These are the things that sell newspapers.

The few remaining that still exist.

News streams are polarized politically

and when good things do happen

they are overshadowed by the atrocities.

Will I discover good news when I click the site?

To not know is not bliss, only ignorance.

Under Lying Fear

As opposed to overwhelming

where in you only get a sense of dread,

of unease in everything you do.

No one looks you in the eye anymore

and you are sure something is up.

All denied of course.

Paranoia sets in.

You are doomed either way.

Start looking for a way out

or you will no longer stay sane!
