Chapter Twenty Three: The Politics of Greed

The Seven Social Sins are:
Wealth without work.
Pleasure without conscience.
Knowledge without character.
Commerce without morality.
Science without humanity.
Worship without sacrifice.
Politics without principle.

From a sermon given by
Frederick Lewis Donaldson
in Westminster Abbey, London
on March 20, 1925.

Frederick Lewis Donaldson

Loyalty to country ALWAYS.
Loyalty to government,
when it deserves it.

Mark Twain

The way things unfold is a matter of self-devotion. To see, to believe, to question the never-ending sorrows; not deserved, no, definitely a travesty of sorts. An experienced way to handle things, or to see the endless possibilities. A politics of opportunity drenched in the thirst for blood. Thou shall not kill, but defense is a pride.

To fall into the trap of the said deadly sins; quickly, an insufficient justification of the learnings. A response to the many stimulus of life. The human condition trapped into the many sorrows of hollowed dreams. A fantasy of deluded musings inside the confines of philosophical constructs. It musn't be an error of cognition, a pedagogical error, it cannot be.

Courage on! The thoughts of unnecessary grief manifested in the duality of joy and sorrow, a never ending search for the truth, wrapped in the episteme of collected experiences. Whether dream or fantasy it must have no boundary; to know what is real from the perceived, it must not be. Indeed.

A question that must exist in a crisis of identity, to love the beloved, the friends to the enemies of love. By politics, or power exploited in the vices of greed and deceit. A deception pure of whiteness in dreams. The most rancid state of stale opportunity. Every politician was tip-toeing immediately. And into the intricacies of mercy and retribution.

Carry on! Keep it up!

In the darkness of the world, it must fall from the ground. The beginning of the end, there shall commence a life. A greedy might, a song of bliss, however vile the motion can be. To stop the tracks of darkness, a spark of solid joy. Yet, it was a stone. The infrastructure deforms, it must descend and ultimately fall.

To live is beautiful. To love is eternal. To hope is to learn. And to believe is everything, and anything more than that, is simply discovery.

Chapter Sixty Two: The Fable Beneath the Enclosure of Minneapolis

 Just as the enclosure called Planet Earth has a wealth of story and narrative to tell, waiting to be discovered by an "anointed one," like a true seer as some might allege at this point of comparative instance; just as a person's mind is littered with all kinds of thoughts and a wide array of options for the rational soul to decide, the newly created enclosures of the so-called New World of America are also full of fables and tales that merit intellectual attention and the discerning eye for a much open sense of literary appreciation. This comes as history is desperately trying to keep the balance of the continuous unveiling of universal timeline, as well as the many periods in the past, and that which holds the valuable lessons that came, primarily, from the victorious strategic demeanor that led to triumph, as well as the several notable failures of the wars that led to the development of military tactics, and the peripheral analysis of political and mercantile powers,...

Chapter Fifty Two: Enclosed

I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it amyway except a slow way, (instead) leave it the fastest  way you can.  Never turn back and never believe  that an hour you remember is a better hour  because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones,  vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance. Beryl Markham, West with the Night Renew, release, let it go. Yesterday's gone. There's nothing you can do to bring it back. You can't "should've" done something. You can only DO something. Renew yourself. Release that attachment. Today is the new day! Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience It's not much of a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it. A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh I've been doing this a long time --manipulating people to get my way. That's why you think you love me. Because I've...

Chapter Eight: Arrival at the Peaceful Enclosures

Back in the present day, the initial implementation of Genesis Technology was in full swing. There are many more protests and speeches and court cases initiated by organized women and politicians that has become very repetitive. Day two after the crucial Executive Order takes effect and enter into force, thousands of women arrive at the Peaceful Enclosures in Arizona and Wisconsin, and more States are expected to follow. Although mainly a federal operation, State governments were also enjoined to ensure the success of the application of the discovered benefits of the breakthrough Genesis Technology operation. Women politicians have all sought the floor of their respective legislatures to deliver a speech about the importance of keeping their seats and continue their political participation, as the government is trying to resolve the issue about the technology's universal application and its efficacious use on the health of others, especially the women. Many of them have also held t...
