LLAW’s THOUGHTS & COMMENTS:

My thoughts and comments tonight are in response to a friend’s concern that there is nothing that we can do to change the course of human destiny. Following is what she wrote in response to my Post #525 from last night, sans her name because I don’t have her permission to Post it here tonight, but it is also available on m Substack comments from last night. ~llaw

She: Lloyd, This is very discouraging. I am gratified to have information about what is really going on, however, bad news is what it comes to. Countries and their leaders will do what they will. When it comes to the crunch, individuals aren’t those in power. Russia will do what it will to Ukraine, Israel will do what it will to Gaza., etc. I so wish the world would look more hopeful. Besides reading your post, I read this morning that artists, if they protest, are being punished by having their shows cancelled. I’m referring to artists specifically protesting Netanyahu’s turning Gaza into rubble and thousands of Palestinians being killed and starved. This censorship is in the United States where we allegedly have free speech. I don’t see what our options are.

Me: I hear you loud and clear, my dear friend And I understand, and in my heart I know what I would like to witness and live to see, will never happen. But it really could be done if billions of people actually cared and understood their plight and their destiny. Only a rag-tag few of us will ever realize that world peace and harmony is possible. I am no Martin Luther King nor Nelson Mandela. And of course even Jesus Christ died in vain. So realism is as useless as the dreams these men had.

But I will still provide information and comment on genuinely wrongful issues that will never be anything more than a wish. My true hope is that there is something lurking, waiting, in the background, a power we are not aware of that will force the hand of these despots who rule with hatred and malice and for their own self-aggrandizement. I have every intention to turn my commentary into fiction asap, and I’ve mentioned that in a few of my posts, telling a story which is already written in my mind and a lot of it exists in script by hand on paper . . . ~llaw
