The Last Reel

I ended my last blog, and in the context of a retired actor, on a note of Completion.  As in the last reel of a movie.  I would like to enlarge on that idea a bit.

Consider.

What if there were enough gold to make everyone on the planet ‘rich’?  What if we changed our ‘economic’ system accordingly, and shared our goods and services with one another - and gave of our best in the process - out of a higher motive than the age-old one of making a ‘profit’??  Out of the highest motive that there could ever be: 

out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning. 

Out of, in a word:

Love.  

Quite a difference it would make; wouldn’t you say???

Worth considering.

P.S. I have been reading, in the February 18 issue of The New American magazine, about the ‘Confrontation at the Lincoln Memorial,’ and getting the full picture therein and thereby of what really happened there.  And though yes, it is from a conservative perspective, it gave both sides of the story; unlike the MSM’s version.*  And I have to say just one thing about this whole business, of agendas and ‘narratives’ and ’stories’:

Any goodwill that may have been accorded the far Left for ‘fighting their corner’ for the environment and care for the poor and so forth has been nullified, and even shattered, by the degree of deceit that has been employed in making their case, fighting that ’corner’.

Now, to be clear: I don’t hate the deceiver.  I hate the deceit.  

But it is a close-run thing, to separate the two, sometimes, I will admit.

And as for such as all the deception going on:

All that has been hidden will be revealed.

In good time.

In good time.

* E.g., about the young boy in the MAGA hat business: The Left portrayed that video shot of him in front of the old Native American Indian beating his drum as him ’smirking’.  Great shot, and interpretation, for their ‘story’.  But wait - there is another side to that ‘story’.  Involving that boy’s decision to let that old NAI get right smack up in his face, and beat his drum there, as if enticing him to come out and fight (for the waiting camera). The boy’s explanation for his expression:

   that he smiled at times because he wanted the NAI ”to know that I was not going to become angry, [feel] intimidated or be provoked into a larger confrontation”.

   Sounds fair enough to me.  And I also liked the description that the article’s author went on to remark on, as to how it all fit so presciently well into Orwell’s description of ‘Facecrime’.  Which could land you in punishable-offence trouble with the authorities in Big Brother’s world.

   Or, apparently, ours as well.  At a time in this country when, as the author of the article ends it, “you’re guilty until proven non-white”
