That Reagan shaped mechanical gadget in the metal box that made you jump like a little sissy boy, Joe, that is the heart and soul of what the flag’n’Jebus crowd is scared of so bad they can’t even think about him existing.” He looked at Joe, waiting for an aha! that didn’t come. “That whole wing of modern conservatism lives for, on, about, with, in, and by the idea that everything is happening via supernatural powers and that the devil is powerful and has to be fought. Modern science totally spoils that because it gives people so much power but not from supernatural sources. No God in the instruments, you know? “So with modern tech we can make Ronald Reagan appear to come back from the grave, but to do it with modern tech leaves no need for spirits or sacred words or miracles or any other flavor of magic. Which only re emphasizes what they’re most afraid of: living in a world where nobody paints the sky blue every morning, or leaves quarters for teeth, or made platypi as a joke, or decided to sculpt the Grand Canyon, or took granny to heaven to make chocolate chip cookies for the angels. Nobody, nobody, nobody. So since their theology won’t let me bring in a Robo Jesus to call forth Robo Reagan, like sort of a Robo Lazarus, and they really want this, like so many people do…well, it can’t come from nobody, it has to come from somebody, and the somebody can’t be God. “Well, if the devil is anything, he’s somebody.” Joe was still sputtering. “But it…I mean, they’re going to think it’s coming out of Hell! Literal capital H real place Hell!” “Well, exactly. Think about how much that proves. If there’s a Hell and a Devil, there’s also a Heaven and a God. Once they have their Reagan back all they have to do is pray over him a little, drive the devil out, accept the blessing of a restored Reagan on behalf of God, and they’re good to go. God forgives crazier shit than that all the time. ↗

When you are on a spiritual journey, you will go to a lot of dark black mines to discover brilliant diamonds of wisdom. And when you see your life through this diamond, it splits into a spectrum of compassion, knowledge, awareness, content, forgiveness, peace, and, harmony. ↗
Reiz es gribēju pakārt laupītāju, bet tas sāpēja viņa mātei. Un mātes bēdas sāpēja viņa māsai, un meitas sāpes sāpēja viņas dārzam: puķes novīta un ābeles nobirdināja negatavus augļus, jo meita ziedā aiz bēdām aizmirsa viņas apliet. Tad es piedevu laupītājam tāpēc, ka negribēju vairot sāpes pasaulē. ↗
Oh, field flower that has bloomed, Ah, somehow, please tell me: Why is it that people hurt each other And fight? Oh, flower that blooms with the asphalt, What can you see from there? Why is it that people Cannot forgive each other? In the summer, the rain passed And the blue reflected, Small, it rippled In front of me, Without saying a thing. What do you think When your friends wilt? With those leaves that do not carry words, How do you convey your love? The summer sun is clouded And the wind fluttered. I shall sing The proof that life once existed For those who do not have a name. ↗
...There,in his foul, stinking cellar, our offended, down-trodden and ridiculed mouse immerses himself in cold, venomous and, cheifly, everlasting spite. For forty years on end he will remember the offence, down to the smallest and most shameful detail, constantly adding more shameful details of his own, maliciously teasing and irritating himself with his own fantasies. He himself will be ashamed of his fantasies, but nevertheless he will remember all of them, weighing them up and inventing all sorts of things that never happend to him, on the pretext that they too could have happend and he'll forgive nothing. Probably he'll start taking his revenge, but somehow in fits and starts, pettily, anonymously, from behind the stove, believing neither in his right to take revenge, nor in the success of his revenge and knowing beforehand that he will suffer one hundred times more from every single one of his attempts at revenge than the object of his revenge, who, most likely, wont't give a damn. ↗
Unfortunately, I fall too fast, crash too hard, care too much, forgive too easy, wait too long, miss people I shouldn't, worry over nothing, over-think everything, and I am too complicated to be loved. All of the above. ↗
In marriage, insult arises again and again; and pain has to be not only endured, but consented to; and the amount of forgiveness that it necessitates is incredible and exhausting. ↗
