Yes, it is true that forgiveness, "in spite of," is essential for personal peace --- at least this is the Christian context. It is damn hard work, I can tell you --- and personal forgiveness is demanded beyond peace, but as a requirement of virtue and one's soul.
But as a matter of public policy -- for example with the ongoing and evermore threatening tyranny that is being built upon the COVID scam -- this article must be judged as childishly naive and even dangerous. This is they [corr: the] type of "personal projected onto the public" disordered thinking that has brought us so many evils such as medical totalitarianism, affirmative action, reparations mania, massively false allegations, and -- literally -- millions of ruined lives and death. It is this misapplication of virtue theory that undermines true protection of the innocent. This is being used to destroy Western and other civilizations: it is genocidal and democidal.
No, indeed, this is a disgrace to heap this on so many who need our protection and who are suffering so badly. Given that many of the monsters are still in power in the public-private Leviathan, we are in an existential crisis. I do not know you, perhaps you were one of the physicians that murdered and maimed with the pseudovaccine and promoted the stupidity of lockdowns, masks and punishing the innocent, insightful and courageous people who cared enough to lose jobs, everything they own and critical friendships because of evil and malignant compliance. Was that you? If so, then we need a bit more contrition and what is appropriately probably a life-long commitment to real, tangible restitution.
In order to thwart future attempts to carry out this level of evil, we DO need trials and severe, deterrent punishments for those who could have done something, but instead permitted the misuse and the abuse of medicine, pharmacology and public health to perpetrate this crime. People need to be denied power and they must be seen to suffer honest and legitimate juridical consequences.
I get what your saying. Accountability to the criminals who did this. Mandated an experiment with consequences violating ever human rights and ethics and charters and constitutions.
Thanks, Virginia. The first lesson is that we do NOT need the WHO with its inevitably grabbed draconian powers, to "protect us." We can discuss what types of bodies can gather information, filter it through DIVERSE thinkers and specialists. By the way, in a crisis, there ARE NO experts. Remember, they are always telling us about the value of "diversity" of genetics, ethnicity and race (as long as whiteness doesn't count). Well, THE most important diversity is intellectual diversity. THAT kind of diversity is what needs to be fostered and protected at all costs -- really -- at all costs.
I have worked with CDC officials, EPA officials as well as state officials during crises. the big killer as I see it is the tendency of people with certain types of personalities, I want to say very damaged personalities, who seem to know how to do behind the back dealings. You would be amazed at how little it has to do with money among the lower tier folks --- it is about petty obsessions with power.
Second, we have to develop our skills at critical matters. Today, one needs to read, like it appears you are doing, about biology, especially genetics and immunology. Start slow. Use good online sources. As long as you develop a deep suspicion of Wikipedia when it swerves into the political weeds, and can recognize its subtle biasing in even seemingly non-political areas, you can start learning about topics at Wikipedia. But then dig deeper.
Unfortunately, they are destroying our libraries, including the Carnegie library. but then there are old bookstores where old books are both inexpensive and more reliable.
Truly forgiving lifts such a weight off the wronged person. It seems counter-intuitive, but it's true.
With regard to your comment on social media and the captions on videos: IMHO social media thrive on polarizing people, and the sorts of posts that inflame are the ones that are pushed. It's where you are more likely to see the worst side of people than the best side.
Dear Miss Neely, please consider the alternative to your view. Not everyone who has a countering view is "thriving on polarizing people," as you contend. The world of intellectual work is about coming up with the better ideas and about developing good. common policies.
I guarantee you, there is no one "pushing" my ideas --- quite the contrary. As a public health official, I suffered as a result of trying to protect YOUR interests, YOUR health and YOUR safety. If you do not understand what I am talking about, then you are living in a make-believe, "Normie" world of TV land: Lassie, Flipper and Ozzie & Harriet. You make yourself vulnerable to the charlatans like Biden, Trudeau, Ardern, (BoJo) Johnson and the other killers and destroyers. They prey on your desire for "nice," "happy," and "not mean." In turn, you become a citizen complicit in their murderous, thieving violence. Wherever there is a tyrant, there is a dupish, uncritical, cowardly, malignantly obedient citizenry, public and consumer base who made their crimes possible.
Now that I've read your reply to the original post I commented on, I understand a bit more about where you're coming from. From the beginning I had doubts about the vaccine and took it only under duress. I won't get any more boosters. But who is at the top of this pyramid of covid scam? If the people whose mandate it is to protect us, such as WHO and public health officials, mislead us, is it because they themselves have been duped, or through maliciousness? It's hard to know who to believe and who to trust.
The WHO in power grab. Read their reports in early days of pandemic. March and April and then May onwards. Quite a change. Why? No reason to. They pretend to look good and are fake and say the right thing but do the opposite. That is what evil do.
I think you misunderstood my comment. I was not referring to the people who write on social media, or their views. I strongly believe everyone has a right to their own opinion and to express it.
What I meant was that Facebook itself, as an example, filters what goes into people's feeds in such a way as to foster argument and sensationalism. So do the media, for that matter. I guess that's what sells, but it sure isn't what I want to see.
I would, however, like to know what you meant by suffering as a result of trying to protect my interests, health and safety.
Facebook's problem, actually their profound evil and why I have avoided Facebook like I would avoid enclosed spaces with a chlorine gas leak, is the manipulation of the feed. PERIOD. It would be better I believe if Facebook never existed.
As far as people having a right to their opinions, well, yes, but then it is incumbent upon them to make their opinions the best they can be. This takes intellectual work, both in these very public, global arenas as well as in day-to-day local interactions. Both are necessary for feeding, forming and re-shaping our ideas. Unfortunately, without constant study and learning -- the kind that every man and every woman can do at their kitchen table, our opinions are crowded out, either by better opinions or by worse opinions. The intellectual life, again I am not talking about heady stuff of university faculty rooms or Camel-smoking philosophers in Paris, but the intellectual activity you and I are called to --- [must] continually grow or it will die. It is like tomato plants. Without water and sun, the fruits shrivel and the insects have a feast.
Yeah, this is not quite the time or place to talk about the suffering. I wanted only to set the framework for what I wanted to develop in the comment. My story is not to be a distraction. It is important enough to know that fighting for the opportunities to flourish as thinking and powerfully acting, enterprising, Citizens (capital "C") is where we want to be is going [and it is going] to take diligent effort.
We -- you, me everybody -- [need] to be humble enough to learn (even from the methods of enemies) and we need to demand participation. Check out and reflect upon the principle of Subsidiarity if you are not already familiar with it. And check out, if it is new to you, what the Greeks meant by the principle of phronesis. It will be enjoyable and edifying.
Super! Thank you very much for your courageous and stimulating engagement.
Please research the hydrogel.in COVID MRNA vaccines never used before so novel. Research viscosity scale and plaque in arteries and is this why there are white rubbery blood clots in the living and dead vaccinated with COVID shot. This is real debate and expert doctors are researching and looking at angiograms of patients and it's corroborated everywhere the same type of blood clots. Let's get expert doctors together and find out the answer.
This was a disheartening bit of writing.

Yes power and money that will kill woman and children and they have with lockdowns and these experimental shots

I think he meant they caused us to suffer and used fear to misguide us and throw proper caution and common sense to the wind.
