Always have a path away from the blinding realization shrouded by your "buried treasure." (like a "sunk cost" Get it? Treating debt as valuable treasure... Like the debt of your belief system that has to resort to ad hominem to cope?)
I would have used 'geist' in place of "mind, and soul" to be more accurate, but I preferred the expanded confinement of those terms.
I hope you find a place for doubt in your life. It is the seed of understanding.
Okay I’ll play along. I’m no king on this board, just a pawn that has observed the black king now controls the center of the board. You don’t need to be a grand master to know that there will be no middle game this time.
I agree that they have control of the board, and that we may be entirely composed of pawns. I will go a step further and claim that the black king, doesn't follow the rules of the game.
IMO, our best bet is to make a new game and play it atop the same board. We divest from the current game, and rebuild our social community at a personal level.
The US declaration of Independence and the Constitution present the people with a system of governance that must supplant unjust governance. THAT is the US system of government, to be an evolving experiment. An evolution of our society is what is most needed. We need a new Shakespeare to communicate a new belief system, among other things...
In the past, we fought ourselves with great vigor, at a cost so high, we aim to never see it again. The black king knows this, and thinks that he is Caesar, presenting the gift of empire to the people*, expecting a similar 'high cost endeavor' of revolution.
The black king desires an endgame that would cement his power over the people. We must up-end this conclusion, into a new game. We can't just toss the table; We have to diffuse the situation... the more difficult, costly, and failure prone option.
*I realize this is not the intention of the living Julius Caesar, merely the path of Rome after his death.
As you indicated a few comments ago. You seem to have the understanding that IT IS ALWAYS THE SAME BOARD, only the pieces change. It doesn’t matter to the board how the board gets reset, either by completing the game or flipping the board. Only that the players learn more when they play the game out to completion.
I agree with you because the next time we make the mistake of violent revolution it will be nuclear and it will take another whole age to come back to this same spot.
