You’re Only Looking For a Free Lunch

From today’s reading…

Jesus answered: In all truth I tell you, you are looking for me not because you have seen the signs but because you had all the bread you wanted to eat.” John 6:26

About 100 years later, the phrase “panem et circenses” or “bread and circuses” entered the cultural and political lexicon of the world.

About 1675 years later, Alexander Fraser Tytler (1747-1813), a Scottish advocate, judge, writer, and historian at the University of Edinburgh, said, “A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.”

In other words, typical weak people do not care about right and wrong when they are numbed with pot, porn, and playoffs.

Unscrupulous rulers have used the trope, “Trade a little bit of freedom in exchange for safety,” to expand their power and control for thousands of years, right up to today, i.e., the sheep still think bureaucrats are concerned about you getting COVID which is why the fat cats continue to implement draconian rules. Ya know? It’s for the good of the people and such. Yeah, right.

It’s time to bite the hand that masks you, jabs you seven times in 18 months, and gives you paltry checks while calling it a stimulus because they’re wrong, and you know it.

Stop seeking the comfortable to seek what is right, which is the only way to…

Stay the course.Keep the faith.Endure.

Now go sell something.
