These are Times for Sackcloth and Ashes.

These are Times for Sackcloth and Ashes; a time for purifying Souls. A Haughtiness of Green Zone Living has bred us corrupt. To maintain our Lovely Lifestyle, there is no crime we have not committed: lying, stealing, raping, warring. So how does one rationalize such Wrongness? By declaring yourself Holy and saying God would want life this way.

It's a scary world I live in...

But in making Amends there is Hope. In feeling our pain, we can start Healing. Pain brings Sobriety and thus an end to the Excess. How long can we keep feeding ourselves Madness before we die? It's a long Road back but the Rightness of it will be Evident in the very first steps. Or will we always just keep Whistling Away in the dark.

I sometimes suggest these things just to see the glares of Anger I get in return.
