Thank you Tessa

May we all learn to forgive (not forget).

I liked you put “educated” in parenthesis, schooling is more appropriate. Education in Greek (Μόρφωσης) means ‘Continuous Forming’ and today’s “educated” are far from that, rigid with a fixed mind.

Sort of along the same line.

For the longest time I stood amazed at how the past three years had changed people...and certainly it did. More recently however something dawned on me that I believe is a far more accurate assessment of the times we are in.

The past three years did not nearly change people as much as it exposed them.

The tyrant...the schill...the terrified...the follower...were all there inside.

The brave...the resilient and the non-complier were there too, but it took the disaster of these past years to dispose of the veneer.

It has really been modern re-run of The Wizard of Oz, and a classic Emporers New Clothes.
