Seeing the creator when you look at an attacker

Interesting take on this movie, Glow -- I see where you're coming from.

A case in point: The following video shows (according to certain of my Pure & Fearless Leaders here in the U.S. of A.) the home-life of some typical members of the ruthless and vile-intentioned minionry of an Evil Empire hell-bent on attacking Old Glory, Mom, & Apple Pie in every diabolical way conceivable, 24/7/365. These people, when their little R&R period is over, collusively work with their psychopathic megalomaniac dictator to remote-control everyone and everything that isn't actually nailed down here across the pole in the paradisiacal Land of the Free -- from the Chief Executive all the way down to the local Visiting Nurses Associations and meter maids -- so as to get these poor defenseless souls (and their dogs, and the horses they rode in on, no doubt) to do the black-hearted Kremlin's barbarously evil bidding:

 

Reminds me of one of Kurt Vonnegut's favorite sayings: "I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'"  http://www.avclub.com/article/15-things-...ne-el-1858

Abraham Lincoln, known for being lenient and forbearing even as Commander-in-Chief during the American Civil War, 
when counseled by bloodthirsty warhawks to step up the military's game to utter ruthless total-war savagery, so as
to utterly destroy The Enemy, answered:
"Do I not destroy the enemy when I make them my friends?"

Not the least thoughtful comments by Alan Watts and Carl Jung on the usefulness of humbly accepting the full spectrum of human potential and actual behavior in self and others:



Edie knows what's what, if you know what I mean (do you?):



It's easy to be easy when you're easy with the worst-case scenario. Admittedly, some people have perhaps needed to undergo the hardest experience to understand the higher utility of being easy-going.
