Surrender???

Mr. Langone, the company you co-founded, Home Depot, has made a lot of money and enjoyed a successful retail ride across America.  As one of the little people that loves to roam the isles of your store, I am disappointed at your lack of political moxie.  You jump on Fox News to announce the demise of President Donald Trump, why have you switched from past support?  Could it be because 80% of Home Depot sales are now Chinese products?  You would know the exact % better than I but my point is obvious, you must believe that a quiet surrender is better for business.

Mr. Langone, you are correct about one thing, America has lost the will to be America.  There is no will in Washington, no people centered freedoms remain there, no freedoms that identify us as Americans.  The political leadership of both parties have sold off our country to China and those of our own corporate interests, as you are doing.  You are a smart guy and should know that no half-hearted political compromise will change Washington or America and return the people to power as the Constitution demands.   

Mr. Langone, you and Fox news are thinking like cowards.  Nothing can possibly change without Donald Trump as our next president, he alone has the guts to stand up to China, both as the 75^th president and again as the 77^th president of the people, by the people and for the people.

Meaning?

Did you ever buy a book only because you were intrigued by the title? Without knowing the author or his motivations for writing, I purchased, “The Trouble with Being Born”, by E. M. Cioran, published in 1973.  Yes, a philosophy book written in my life time! 

Turns out that Mr. Cioran was a life long nihilist philosopher meaning that he believed that there is no meaning to existence in this world. This guy is a nihilist on steroids.  For him, being born is the ultimate injustice, “the victim” has no say as to who, what, when and where. This is what has bothered me, being born appears to be total random uncertainty. How does anyone, including God, make sense of the millions of uncertainties within a single birth?  

I shall leave you with a quote from page15. “I do not forgive myself for being born.  It is as if, creeping into this world, I had profaned a mystery, betraying some momentous pledge, committed a fault of nameless gravity.  Yet in a less assured mood, birth seems a calamity I would be miserable not having known.”

Flashpoint

As best I understand, an existentialist is one of us who traverses our world as this world actually exists.  Most of us, travel through our world assuming our world is what we want it to be, ignoring the uncomfortable data.  Most of us get angry when someone is arrogant enough to call us on our insanity.

Questions

If you are looking for applause, don’t be a philosopher.  However, in one way or another, we all are philosophers.  We all have to create our own context with this confusing world by choosing our priorities.  We have a choice, be a thinking philosopher person or be dead. 

A thinking philosopher person asks questions, no questions, you are being led around like a fat dirty pig with a ring in your nose.  This is why America is dead, a majority of voting citizens refuse to ask questions.  Our dead are stinking and the increasing aroma is taking away our freedoms.  Is the stink so strong that we will never again be the land of the free and the home of the brave?  Take a deep breath.

ALL

Isaiah 25: 6-8

On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine- the best of meats and fine wines.

On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death forever.

The sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove the people’s disgrace from all the earth.

The Lord has spoken.

Disloyalty

This President Trump voter and supporter will never vote for any other Republican to be president, period!  These are extraordinary times in the history of our now failing country, no half-hearted political alternative will win the day and preserve our country as a democracy.  The old-style American politics is no longer viable because the radical left is not using the good old-boy playbook, they will not moderate their intentions, they have their eye on the ball, absolute control over all the people.  It is their way or blood in the water.

The radical left, all of the national democrat leadership and the stupid democrat voters who have not woken up, have left the people no choice but to fight fire with fire.  America owes Donald Trump an apology.  Republican unity with President Trump at the front of the red wave, is our only hope to extend the greatness of our democracy.  Disunity and disloyalty in the ranks at this critical hour will not be forgiven and amount to nothing less than national treason!

Twelve

TWELVE REASONS OUR WORLD IS A HELL ON EARTH. 

( the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations, the certainty of death.  Isaiah 25: 7 )

One. Everyone born into this life has an automatic death sentence.

Two. Everyone born into this life is born a life-long screaming narcissist.

Three. Our world is ruled by blind chance.

Four. Our world has one morality… might makes right.

Five. In our world, only the strong survive another day.

Six. Our world has no regard for fairness, justice.

Seven. Our parents will ever be the measure of our lives.

Eight. Everyone is his or her own worst enemy.

Nine. Everyone is both a victim and a victimizer.

Ten. The good in life is defined by the extent of gained power or influence over others.

Eleven.  Our universal constant is suffering, be it physical, emotional or mental.

Twelve. Our human community has always been and forever will be fractured by our own evil consciousness.
