'Tis the Season

Why is everyone so damned depressed lately? Don't know if it's just me and a few other people, but it seems like so many people are sad right now. The sun's out, it's beautiful outside, things aren't the best but they're far from horrible, well, I suppose that's not exactly true. There's plenty of reasons to be sad, but it's so damn confusing how many are giving in.

Coworker's sad because his fiancee is in trouble with the law again, and his step son's child experienced SIDs. I'm sad, was sad, because of a number of lonliness issues. Someone I met lost their grandfather recently to cancer. Mi unico amor is sad for her own reasons (which is very depressing). Things just don't seem to be going at all like they should.

State of the Union

This is the economic strength of America. No one is stronger in financial or political matters. Many smaller states can take us down with their combined might, but one on one, we are unstoppable right now.

Our soul, our greatest asset we have. It burns brightly and carries the world through darkness. Things could survive without us, but many are thankful for us being there for them to help them out.

It is our heart, that our weakness shows. The poor huddled masses scurry about, unable to survive without the help of the breadwinners out there. We give plenty, most of the time, but further tightening of the belt in times when there seems to be enough to give away is not an acceptable answer. The welfare state helps to keep the country from disintegrating, and that is a strong truth.

History Isn't So Easily Erased

No matter how hard someone tries at something to change, there is always the taint of history there with them. Twisting and skewering is simple as saying something in the past happened one way, instead of the way it actually did. It's made all the more easier then the person isn't particurly liked or cared for. Easier yet is spreading lies and deceit and turning something truthful into something perverse.

It doesn't take a bad person to be made into one. It only takes enough misteps by them to show the world that they're scum. No amount of work is going to change things done in the past. There isn't enough a person can do to erase or make up for even the simplest of mistakes. Every misdeed will be held accountable until the end of time itself. This is a law of man, or rather, humanity, to be more politically correct. Escape from this law is impossible.

Hiding layer upon layer make-up may give a respite from running from the past, but it'll always catch-up. Facing it isn't going to make things better, there will only be the feeling of a fruad left in its wake. What, I wonder, even makes such thoughts possible? No real telling can be wrote or said, but can only be. Depravity even for a merest of moments will last a lifetime. Shamefully those who are so steeped in lies will get away with the worst offenses against a fellow human being, without repurcussion. Funny how the world works.
