Juncture of Empathy

I just realized today that there were babies born the day The Flood began. There were 5 year old children playing when the rains started and the dams burst. An entity of Love was forced to make the choice to move mankind one step from genocide. What actions of mankind could possibly have warranted such a move made?

It is written that the end times are like the days of Noah. What have you put out of your mind that is happening today- this very day- that, when you consider it, feel wicked beyond reason? Sadly, with two sides to any coin, it feels as though the face unconsidered may be more weighty than the one always seen and considered.

God had to push that button, or at least allow it to be pushed. What if, in place of God, this were instead the kindest soul you have ever known? What if they were put in charge of a house, and inside it were all manner of people, from the most wicked to children. This kind soul is given two choices every day: watch as the wicked do unspeakable things for the balance of that day, or press the button and kill everyone inside. This is effectively the best entity forced into the worst position, because of the willful actions of others; is there a term for such things? I imagine that those never in this position would consider the decision to ever press the button a wicked act, simultaneously following and contrasting with the "How could God allow this?" line of thinking. I imagine that these same people would push the button far sooner than God actually did, once it was their own eyes witnessing the same actions, prioritizing self over the sum of all others, knowingly.

Essentially, mankind's wickedness has the potential to be so appalling that Love itself separates from The Equation, and ends it. Far from being some reassuring finality, this suggests that God will follow a similar pattern this time, and allow this timeline and those in it to reach this same juncture, as an expression of patience, perhaps as a necessity for comprehension. What within the darkness of man's heart has not been displayed for all to see already? How many more layers can there possibly be, beneath where we collectively stand already?

Step by Step On The Open Ocean

"Gentlemen, prepare Yes, there is danger ahead But we are heroes. Written in our code It is in our DNA We've earned skin and scars These seas of logic Are full of 'paradoxes' We have dynamite. We sail through winter Eyes scanning for a Spring Day On the horizon Omelas be damned. Let waves wash worst days from mind Best are yet to come We seek a shared realm With no more dream(s) to distract Though they might buoy Our blood sweat and tears Will be worth each step taken Our footfalls swear it They say 'life goes on' Perhaps it does on some shore Here, we claim the NOW!"

(W)rest Control

Need I say one word? We've tried [that] one already And yet here we are So in silence sleep May your perfect Dream meet you Across the lim line An echo is heard "I do not exist" replied An echo is heard Ink fresh on the page Contracts diverge and collide With you in my arms Intersection stays Written deeper than our code Indelible Mark This turn naught taken That the first might rest at last Finally at peace When looking to (w)rest Remember the lesson learned Fly, fly back to me Nothing gained or lost Nothing is impossible Nothing out of reach

Verdict

I have held this back for long enough. This wicked generation sickens me. This distasteful generation disgusts me. 1,000 generations promised, nonetheless, and so it will be. Did you know that one can build an image of Jesus so clearly in their mind that they will see an idol in his place and feel certain of their eternal fate? A cloned image, without the power of God. Perhaps considered fine, here on Earth, but what of on Judgement Day? How horrific would it be to find out that you have been lied to? How terrifying will it be to hear "I never knew you" in the silence, while you ask the lawyer by your side to proceed? Jesus is not coming for you. You hung him on the cross, you pierced him and left him there in your heart, never even thinking to repay the forgiveness he would ultimately offer. You blasphemed his name and the Holy Spirit with your contempt, and lied about it, every day, even to yourself. So, intentional contempt is summed, your will removed from the verdict, th...
