Facing Reality

What is the reality of your place in the universe? Yeah, this question has been asked by everyone through the ages.

The only reason I think about this is that today there was a news report about a bicyclist killed by a drunk driver. The guy was biking across the country collecting signatures on a petition that I imagine he was planning to deliver to potentates when he arrived in Washington. He was specifically protesting the latest massive government bailouts.

I think that's a pretty good idea, really. Why should taxpayers be asked to rescue others who've made awful decisions and and who will not only refuse to learn from those decisions but are employed specifically to make them? The reality is, however, that the government always spends gobs of money to do what it thinks is best to crack heads of those under its thumb... as well as to reward those they like whoever they are.

The radio news report I heard was that the petition will now not be delivered. All those voices will go unheard. I thought as I listened, so what? Are those voices really heard anyway?

Nah. I just don't think so. It's the World echo chamber, voices bouncing about and vanishing in the vapors of deceit and dissembling.

It just seems all the bike trekking this guy did was so utterly pointless.

And it is, really.

Unless you are known by the One who made the universe you are in.
