I h...I think I understand what you are getting at.<br /><br />I have never felt so indifferent to anything as monumentally important as the killing of OBL. It's as if it happened in a different universe.<br /><br />The horrific events of 9/11 have been reduced to kitsch and melodrama. Hollywood could not have dreamed up an ending more devoid of meaning. The "spontaneous" eruption of joy in NY and DC as if "our team" had just won the superbowl was the penultimate anticlimax to 11 years of frustration. <br /><br />I now understand what Eliot meant by 'not with a bang but a whimper.'Miguel Cuthberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10079506076545952835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29140264.post-11124367165167206942011-05-05T17:58:48.629-04:002011-05-05T17:58:48.629-04:00Well written, and fundamentally correct. I am no...Well written, and fundamentally correct. I am not, however, compatible with the idea that we must be uncomfortable in this world...while not conforming to it (and thus finding comfort in said conformance), but rather, perhaps, (if diligent) being transformed by the Master's presence in our lives and the realization that this world is His, and He expects us to live as transformed creatures in it. This is not to counter your piece, as I believe it expertly written (as usual from your clan); but more, to simply augment and remind that we can be elated in both this world (and the next); even though I am not altogether convinced that we will be "perfected" in either - again, my favorite quote "if man's reach did not exceed his grasp, then what is a heaven for?".<br /><br />Carry on in glory, in peace, in triumph and most especially (and always) in eternal joy.<br /><br />-Standifer Evasto VisumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29140264.post-21371533482138006102011-05-04T15:16:02.084-04:002011-05-04T15:16:02.084-04:00Not sure I can agree with everything you say here,...Not sure I can agree with everything you say here, but this is a very interesting and well written post.Work From Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295599436271704451noreply@blogger.com
