Dear Friends, Happy Easter.
This time it is not so much about Stronhold; this is more of a message of solidarity. Since the scribe announced the unfavourable scripted event, we all had to alter our waypoints, somewhat and do some sacrifice.
However, this is Easter and most of the world is celebrating deliverance and even resurrection.
We all love a good fight on the simulator, but in the real world, there is pain (first Buddhist principle). On this level, 'redo' is not an option and we need to cry, bury our dead, honour the avant-garde, heal and rebuild. I have no doubt that very soon, we shall see the Victory banner. When the dust settles, we shall have climbed yet another notch in our evolution.
The front liners are working for inhumane numbers of hours each day, seven days a week. There is a flood of volunteers, otherwise unoccupied, cooks preparing meals for our combatants, farmers delivering free food, property owners offering lodging for quarantine... a torrent that washes the silt and exposed the dormant gems of human value.
And perhaps Man is now given another chance to revise the old dictum; "if you want peace, prepare for war". Man may want to consider that the way of compassion and harmony is the fastest route for success.
We are the naked, defenceless creature, and yet with the intelligence to be given "dominion over all the other creatures". The 'small print' in the Genesis may be saying something about the massive responsibility we shoulder.
So, my dear friends, when we behold the Victory banner, we shall be jubilant. This is not going to be yet another map down, but a true graduation on the evolutionary level.
Happy Ghid, Easter, Deliverance.
John
