“It has been said that the greatest loss in life is not death; the greatest loss in life is what dies inside us while we are alive”. It’s painful to live with this shameful truth inside. At 85 I’m certain it won’t change while I live but I’m not going to “let it go” as so many instruct. Perhaps there is little if anything I can do but I can keep the truth alive inside, acknowledge it, share it until I’m gone. Better to live as even a small part of a potential solution then as a contributor to the problem. Thanks again for continuing to help me keep the truth alive within.

The honor is exclusively mine, Sir.

Reminds me of Gospel of Thomas where Jesus (who is a voice of Imagination) says "If you bring forth what is within you, what you have will save you." Meyer translation. Metaphorical/spiritual way of speaking.

ah yes!

and only those who are dead inside can attempt to consume the insides of others and lead others to the same internal zombiehood.

Can anyone alive inside really wound the spirit or soul or body of another without conscience recognition of the pain they inflict.

Racist rhetoric or racist action is only the result of those who have driven themselves to mental death.

Dehumanizing the "other" was/is.. always the point, to reason away!

In my travels, I've passed on balut, dog (there used to be a dog meat restaurant less than a km from my house), and cuy (Peruvian guinea pig); I enjoyed the fried tarantula. In general, pigs are smarter than dogs, but not as cute. I think that may be the demarcation for many people -- don't eat cute.

As soon as (if) the current panties-in-a-wad hysteria about cats dies down, The Couchfucker will make up another racist lie and dogwhistle causing The Convicted Felon's minions, including the media whores, to bunch them up again.
