As I write, a sudden brightness catches my eye, when I look up
I see for a short time the sun is visible above the horizon and below the clouds.
Today the sunshine will be brief, but the sunlight will endure.
As time marches on, we travel along too.
It seems the lessons of history have been forgotten or ignored.
The idea that might makes right has always led to corruption, moral decay, and
the demise of the mighty.
Creating enemies has never led to any profit or type of enrichment.
Greed has never been and never will be a virtue.
Calling it capitalism and patriotic does not change it, greed creates suffering,
and despair for the have nots, and fear of loss for the haves.
Security is always an impossible promise, and has never ever ever been granted
to any living thing.
The concept of winning is unnatural and exists only in games, and the minds of
the childish.
As individuals or collectively we can only advance in co-operation with others, not
conflict or competition.
As I learn from the past, let me stay present to this moment, and hold to my values
that we can create a future of co-operation.
