Time for self reflection
It is that time of the year again. A week leading up to my scans. To check if I am still kicking cancer's unwanted behind or not. On the same day as the election day. There are lot of things to self reflect upon. Less so those things that are out of my control, and more so those that are within my control.
I have seen a certain change in myself, since October 7th. A change that I do not like and an aura that I do not like carrying around me. That of taking extreme positions on certain topics. I have noticed that doing this can really damage your own personality and nibble at your core. I do not like it. That is not me. Yes, the fears are not unfounded. The fears are very real. The dangers of Islam are very real. But I need to find better and effective ways of conveying them than the ways I sometimes seem to take. And that certainly does not mean that I will ever shy away from saying the truth. I maintain this fact, that Islam is a soul corruptor and it is diametrically opposed to the West. The same goes for Communism which actually to me is an even bigger problem as it is usually the native population itself who deal in it, and open the doors for all other enemies including Islamist extremists.
But apart from specific topics, I need to overall self reflect and meditate. Make sure that I am running too far away from my core. I am not a hateful person and I do not want to become a hateful person, and I do not want to encourage hateful people and justify their hatred steeped in resentment. Because resentment leads to commit incredibly horrendous acts which you later regret. But by that time the damage is done. We need to counter bad ideas with good ideas. We need to articulate the frustrations of people appropriately. We cannot let Western civilization descend into self destruction. This is the best of humanity, and we need to build on it, not regress or destroy it. Let's hope that we all can find the best versions of ourselves in the coming days, and band together for a better future. And also, reawaken the courage in us, to recognise and confront our enemies who mean us great harm rather than pander to their sensibilities.
As always, much love to you all. Keep me in your prayers ❤️🙏
Best wishes Momus.
I think you perhaps reflect and hold your self to scrutiny too much.
You seem to be very fair in all you say.
If we had more folk like you the world would be a better place.
Values today are all inverted. Good is evil and evil is good.
It makes it difficult to know what to stand for.
It is the heart of the people that count - ordinary folk not politicians.
But the time has come when you realise all the talking in the world will not help and you ultimately have to fight. And that is never pretty.
