Startling!

Why is it, do you suppose, that even those who would aspire to the name of “wise,” in the midst of their binary wanderings in the philosophical lands of “good-and-evil,” “true-and-false,” “ephemeral-and-eternal,”  that even they fail to notice that with ALL their superior intellectualizing, they still have no more choices than does a drunk.

It generally takes relay teams of readers to fully peruse the life story of the monarch, while you can cover the bio of a Revolutionist while taking a quick pee.  (I know I’ve touched on this area before, but let me mention for you again that you should expect no real action in pursuit of a self-proclaimed “rebel” who has ANY story-to-tell.)

Men have called the “truth” by many names, and have tried to describe it variously, but I might add that from a Revolutionist view, the needed, NEW “truths” always have this in common – they are startling!

A revolution can be thought of as either an “assault from without,” or as an “up-rising from within.”.  It is somewhat like the difference between destroying an old religion while beginning a new one, and simply offering a new view of the present one.

The People are made to believe that during the times of certain struggles that they “give their life to the State,” but their death is always for someone else’s bottom line.  And the “someone else’s”, too, are grave-food for an even GREATER entrepreneur and death merchant.

While observing the birds feasting on the hippo’s dung, a passerby was heard to note, “Makes me glad to be a HIGHER member of the food chain.”  I wonder where he thinks he is anyway.
