Nothing Left To Say

It’s a humbling experience to realize that you’ve tried all the various ways you can think of to communicate a point, an idea, and that the well of means has simply gone dry. Love God. Love one another. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. It’s hard to improve upon perfection, although that seems to be what the human mind forever strives to do. It’s a game of sorts, reinventing Truth to seem more truthful, more palatable. Imagine the number of sermons that have been preached on the teachings of Jesus for the last two-thousand years. And yet humankind still chooses apathy, hate, violence and destruction over compassionate love. Think of all the things that could be done with the current technology, and yet the vast majority of our country’s resources are focused upon using those technologies for war, entertainment, and gaming. Television is a good case in point. A medium that could have enlightened the world instead became a privatized, for-profit corporate enterprise that endlessly pumps out junk. Don’t worry, though, dear reader, because I’m not about to let having nothing left to say stand in the way of saying it over and over again. It’s one hell of a mess we’ve gotten ourselves into, and perhaps there will be some redeeming value to the last words of the final chapter being: love God, love one another, do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
