Beware the Dark: Our Black Hearts

This morning was extra stormy with gloomy clouds. an angry wind and a bit of chill in the air. NOW, the sun is out and no evidence that a storm came this way or passed through remains. You never know what you dont know. I was reading another blog this morning about fear and its power over us; I thought it was pretty good. I tend to enjoy knowing the monster I'm facing probably more than is healthy.

You've heard it said, "WE have nothing to fear but FEAR itself..." Well that sounds great as a quote; but really? I dont think that holds much credibility. In fact, I would go so far as to say its an out and out lie; some snipet of logic thrown out to be penned for all time as great. I beg to differ. Its easy to see there is plenty to fear and even be afraid of. NOW, its the paralization that comes from fear that is more the enemy. If we cannot advance or receede, then we shall surely die where we stand. He who runs away lives to fight another day. He who's dumb enough to stay was buried where he lay. In our American history we have reached a point beyond eloquent speeches and the political nod that typically means business as usual. We are getting close to the end of the rope for ourselves and the generations to follow. Is doom inevitable? NO; but it may be necessary. How do CEO's, financial managers, banks, etc get to do such a horrible job and still keep their jobs PLUS bailout money to do it again???? Clearly Im in the wrong profession. Its funny to hear that now they say banks have been hoarding the bailout money to buy out smaller banks instead of passing it along to the consumers......ya think???? Money is rarely the solution; the fault always lies in the heart.


Sometimes you dont have to see it to be endangered by it. The prey that doesnt see the predator is no less dead.
