Blaming and faming

Nothing that happens has a sole cause. There are numberless causes for everything. Thus, blaming is a stupidity and faming a conceit. We’re not in control. Everything that happens, happens as it must.

Sacrifice

The whole notion of sacrifice is rooted in the idea that I am bad or deficient and I must pay a price for that. Millennia ago, the Holy Temple of Jerusalem was basically a ‘divine’ slaughterhouse where bulls, rams and a variety of other livestock had their throats cut as an expiation for the sins of humans. Today sin-excited Christians flagellate themselves on Good Friday while the less theatrical cleanse themselves via weekly acts of murmured penance.

Dancing in the dark

Fear’s most ardent suitor is guilt. Where fear is, guilt shakes its hips.

Senti-mental

The past is dust. It has no purpose. We shake it off the dusting cloth. Done!

What it wants

Anger’s desire is to make someone guilty. Love can’t ‘see’ anger, as light cannot ‘see’ darkness, but anger does see love and flat-out hates it. Virgil, if I’m on the road to apologies and promises, whisper this: Anger never healed, held or loved anybody.
