We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.
Earlier this week, Biden awarded the Medal of Freedom to George Soros, the world's most efficient financier of evil. He openly describes his ambitious goals and unique, diseased frame of mind:
About destroying Western Civilization for his own “survival”:
"The collapse of the global marketplace would be a traumatic event with unimaginable consequences. Yet I find it easier to imagine than the continuation of the present regime. … My main concern is with the world order. … The world order needs a major overhaul.
"If I had to sum up my practical skills, I would use one word: survival. And operating a hedge fund utilized my training in survival to the fullest.
"It is sort of a disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out. … I fancied myself as some kind of god or an economic reformer like Keynes. … If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood which I felt I had to control, otherwise I might end up in the loony bin. But when I made my way in the world I wanted to indulge myself in my fantasies to the extent that I could afford.
"…The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States. [This idea] happens to coincide with the prevailing opinion in the world. And I think that’s rather shocking for Americans to hear. … The sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law and international institutions."
Note date and time. Mr. Trump just threatened to blow up Iranian power plants if the Strait is not opened within 48 hours.
Apparently Iran responded, indicating a willingness to do so if Mr. Trump agrees to these conditions:
America will end the war with
— Guarantees of no future wars
— Closure of US military bases in region
— Compensation/war reparations to Iran from both US and Israel
— ’End wars on all fronts in region’
— Establishment of a new legal regime for Strait of Hormuz
— Prosecution and extradition of individuals affiliated with ‘hostile media’ to Iran
In February, America cut off negotiations just prior to a sudden missile barrage. Will that happen again? The world is watching the countdown.
Are people of the twenty-first century too messed up to love one another, sacrifice for one another, or to mature in the presence of difficulty?
For modern marriages, three decades of therapeutic counselling trends are bearing destructive fruit. It's an ongoing revolt against maturity. Sanctification is today a foreign concept, even in the Evangelical world.
What do people count as relational wisdom today? Fighting for your own personal "rights"...and winning in the process. Perfecting clever snarkiness. Outdoing one another in selfishness. Juxtaposing personal dreams and ambitions against another's personal dreams and ambitions.
The way forward when life together gets unbearable? Grumble to a "counselor." Or, if you're tech-savvy, crowd source your therapy. Pour out all your grudges and aversions on the internet, in the guise of "getting a little perspective" [and advice from the mob.]
Today the internet mob is a feedback loop which has become a death spiral -- a chorus...
