Knowing vs. Practicing

[hogey11]

I'm with ya, Gribbons. I guess i'm purely hitting on the silver lining of it all. We have to trust that the karmic load of all those involved is fair and that ultimately it will be the governments overstep that will cause the masses to continue to wake up. How many people would still be placated by the governments performance without things like the TSA, CISPA/SOPA, government occupations, etc.? I would implore not to support these activities in any way, but we should acknowledge that is it these oversteps that are creating enough dissonance that the mass public is starting to wake up and get spurred on to action. Without the corruption within the government, we would have less to rally around and less to be impassioned by. In this way, I can see our "oppression" as the means to the proper end. Just like catalyst, we must go through it in order to properly appreciate it.

To throw your analogy back at you, what if it takes an event like contracting cancer in one's life to truly understand the lessons that need to be learnt? We can't ever assume a moral high ground because we don't know what each event signifies on a karmic/soul-based level. All we can go off of is that all is well, and we are here to spread our love and light to this world. The darker it gets; the brighter we shine.
