A quote from a novel that I comes too close to the truth.
"Absurdities are never laughed at there (in the streets); only listened to. What is too absurd to believe is believed because it is too absurd to be a lie." Lord of Chaos by Robert Jordan.I am proud that we go high when they go low, but am totally bamboozled as to how to fight against the absurdities of this Lord of Chaos. I know that many think that those taken in are a lost cause. However I refuse to write off 35-40% of the nation. There has to be some way to heal the awful divisions that are the worst since the Civil War. Every time I have a feeling of hope The haters work to kill it, sometime with guns as in JFK, RFK and MLK Jr., or by making absurdity a reality.
Sorry for the downer post. The senseless killing and hatred is weighing me down.
