Hopefully, from the years I have spent on this mortal coil, enduring the sight of friends dying to please the moneyed ones, I have learned to tolerate and understand since not all and most definitely not the human-animal is perfect in this life.
But with the affronts we have seen these months of centuries, I am afraid my Cossack ancestry will not peacefully guide me through any of five stages.
Denial — the first is irrelevant since I (we) never denied.
Anger — the second is relevant and evident simply because it is part and parcel of what people such as we have endured these last four years.
Bargaining — never even got in the picture since offers were never put forward to start.
Depression — now that fourth was self-evident to ourselves, but kept within, never to let it show to those who caused it.
Acceptance — good old number five — will be when consequential results are properly meted and done right. If proper, we can live with their results. But they must be done right and proper to the reason.
There must be a loss of fortune to those who profited. Also should come the loss of freedom to those who have enjoyed the former.
There must be a constant reminder that respect is earned via compassion for others, of which the misshapen souls of the perpetrators never had, so compassion will be not given — none deserved.
May they rot in their own filth, created by their own hands, all of them. Broken, penniless, reviled when looked upon. Laughed at when crying for alms.
Then, perhaps forgiveness.
But if that forgiveness comes, they may perhaps never hear the words spoken with-in the bounds of gravity.
Do not forget those who opposed us so heartily that we were denigrated and verbally abused.
I cannot personally, find forgiveness in my heart after being told what losers and suckers we are for being faithful to the beliefs that helped to form the basis of our Republic.
We owe them nothing. We do not owe them any "good feelings". We do not owe them our fellowship.
We do owe them the truth, that all of us deserve respect. But from this point forward they must earn that respect. They must realize that this is the UNITED States of America, one country. One nation. One heart. One race.
Division within is no longer an option. Unite or be left behind. Come to realize that we, as a nation, are no longer a white majority rule and never will be again.
We know who put us over the top. Look at the diversity in the cities that put us there. Land does not vote. People vote.
Corporations are not people and should no longer have a say in our political fortunes and be removed entirely from the equation and also be broken apart as the mega groups they have become.
Firearms do not vote and should have no influence on our political discourse.
Growth is needed. Growth as a people is required.
Hopefully someday very soon, we will overcome.
