Donald Trump/Forrest Gump 2016

As it is not quite written .........

“Blessed are those who think a lot of themselves,

    especially those who have made Billions.

Blessed are those who never say they made a mistake,

    for they won't be blamed or feel guilty.

Blessed are the haughty,

    especially those who have already inherited the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for winning it all,

    for they will be filled with more $Billions.

Blessed are the merciless,

    for their path is uncluttered by doubt.

Blessed are those who've sinned a lot,

    for some good reason yet to be determined.

Blessed are the warmongers,

    
    especially those killing for Truth, Justice and the Am-Way.

Blessed are those who've been unjustly persecuted because of big favors and bluster
     for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are the thugly!

 “Blessed are you when people attempt to insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you just because you're great. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward for putting Christmas back onto Starbucks cups and planning to bomb the shit out of Foreign Oil Fields, for in the same way you persecuted the immigrants who came long ago shall you be blessed with the opportunity to persecute others.

***********************************************

I struggle with the way I take in to my heart the contemporary scene, dominated, as it is, by those who believe they possess the only truth. There are many, these days, who firmly believe that they possess the only truths. They promise to thus wreak havoc on the rest of the World and, thereby, to bring it to the "Better Days," promised by their Prophets of Old. 

Is it -- apparently -- my lot in life to spend my Last Quarter listening to those who thus believe and who speak in Platitudes, as they prepare to wreak havoc on the World ... whatever language it is that they speak.
