Compassion through social strife

[ricdaw]

 
What's now called "the US" was built on a determined lack of compassion for Indians, free Whites who consorted with Indians, enslaved Africans, free Whites who consorted with Africans and plenty of other groups.  So, why would this nation, under God, all of sudden become a paragon of compassion at this point in time?  Why are your expectations so high, BeforeAustin?

There is a long game here, peregrine.

Each Indian, free White who consorted with Indians, enslaved African, free White who consorted with Africans and EVERYONE ELSE chose those lives.  Freely given.  Part of the Great Reincarnational Cycle.  RA talks 25,000 years, but let's get micro for a minute.  Each.  Of.  Those.  Souls.  Chose.

Some chose to experience the pain.

Some chose to deliver it.

We are both victim and perpetrator.

Expectations are high that in the great catalyst of plague, riot, injustice that WE WILL WAKE UP.  Perp and victim alike.  We came down here.  We chose these lives to be PART OF IT.

This masterpiece of pain is the perfect Catalyst.  

Why are our exceptions so high, peregrine?  They are no higher than yours were in the pre-incarnational life that chose these times, your life, your body, your experience.

You sell yourself short to think that you did not plan to be in this.  To be part of it.

Do not fall into cynicism.   

You are where you are most needed.
