¿Y EL MOTIVO?

...y..el motivo?...
no...no es que no te ame,
es que tu no amas.
y allí es la diferencia...
el motivo, decía?
y...cuál es el motivo?
...no es que no te ame,
y vaya si lo sabes...
como vaya si así es...
...motivo es que no amas.
la diferencia...
y qué de diferencias...
y aún: no es contradecirte...
...es que suele ser...
seguido...y perseguido...
también te contradices...
la razón por muy razón...
la tienes...
soy yo quién la he perdido...
Sucede que...
en mi sin razón...
y tú con toda...
emprendimos un viaje...
y sin abrir el paquete
levantábamos vuelos...
los bagajes de pronto
intangibles y eternos...
saltaron uno a uno...
soltados de mi mano
salieron lentamente...
para al final...
montando su silencio...
ya recorren tu mismo frío...
en torrentes de río...
sacuden los desganos...
y secos...se desgranan
con susto y al tanteo...
corriendo por el suelo...
qué sigue o sobreviene?
qué navegue mi río?
o tu te descongeles?
Este loco caudal
el que desborda...
puede volverse manso...
más todo el cataclismo...
en corazón cerrado...
cómo entrará esta brisa
de sigilo y tibiezas
hecha abrazos
a colgarse en un nudo
a tu cuello de iceberg?
que en sigilo y razones...
echa llave a su puerta?
...y..el motivo?
no...no es que no te ame,
es que tu no amas.
y allí es la diferencia...

THEOLOGY OF LIBERATION

A Fact or a Fantasy

It seems all those whiny, rightwing talk show hosts are quick to lay bare the fervently held religious beliefs upon which they can clearly show the leftists philosophy is established. For brevity’s sake we will refer to these ‘Articles of Faith’ as ‘AoF’

Let’s compile a short list of some of these fundamental persuasions.

Their First AoF:

All true socialists must accept the false doctrine of humanism which is belief in the perfectibility of man. They are unable to swallow the notion of a worker’s utopia unless this tenet is held sacrosanct.

The Second AoF:

Collectivists, of every denomination, must hold that big government, despite its track record, will do it better.

The Third AoF:

In their concept of equality, citizens must share equally in ALL misery therefore any compensation for individual excellence will be heavily taxed so that the poor less fortunate can subsequently be compensated equally, which to them means fairly.

The Fourth AoF:

All evils are a direct result of economic, social and ethnic disparity therefore universal welfare and social stability would be the natural conclusion of their rigidly enforced concept of equality.

These misguided souls believe the phrase ‘created equal’ is literal doctrine. How pretentiously they compartmentalize, so as to avoid the sting of their cognitive dissonance. Any thinking creature can easily see that there is NOTHING created equal. Equality is an egalitarian myth and must be externally enforced. To establish this needed enforcement the government needs to gigantic in size and scope. This unproductive element becomes a wasteful drain on the producers until inevitably this top heavy ‘cart’ becomes unstable and just as the USSR or Rome it fails.

We might conclude that any system based on any such sweet LIES or false premises does, by design, contain at its core, the evil seeds of its own destruction.

The validity of this ‘self defeating principle’ of a false premise is hardly challengeable. Just as any airplane built on designs that defy the fundamental truths of aerodynamics will crash, any government built on lies can not stand without harshly enforced injustice. When there is no internal justice there will be no peace. Since domestic tranquility is so crucial to the life of the state, the increased enforcement becomes crucial but no amount of external force can counterbalance such endemic injustice… it only delays the inevitable and exacerbates the end result.

We all too often over look the obvious and I, at risk of being expelled from this study group, maintain that these self- righteous right-wingers are just as blamefully deceived.

What these so called ‘originalists’ so blindly overlook is the LIE upon which their own perception is based. What the righteous deceived fail to comprehend is their blind faith in a fully fraudulent foundation. They religiously believe in the mystic powers of a pagan false goddess named LIBERTY . These sophisticated high-priests of hype devoutly spout their tired platitudes. Freedom & Democracy are two of their favorite mystic mantras. The faithful are proud to adorn themselves with holy amulets of red, white and blue.

Do they never question the doctrine of democratic deliverance? NEVER! For these are true zealots. For them, to doubt would only indicate mental dysfunction. So ‘sold’ are these flag wavers that their repurchase is far beyond price. They hold as a fundamental dogma their inalienable right to self-determination, denying any compulsion or obligation to submit to a higher authority than man and his judicial precedents. Ah ha! Can we detect a bit of the humanistic bent? Some may say, what’s wrong with a little humanism? Mortal earthling man is not instinctively enabled to govern himself let alone his cohorts. We cannot hold that man, of himself, is capable of righteous judgment and a harmonic societal integration? There exists a five thousand year record to prove we collectively don’t have a clue.

Freedom of choice is not something any government can provide. They cannot even suspend it, the best they can do is punish what they consider bad choices and reward choices they see as good. We, in and of ourselves, must choose our path. We are well advised to seek truth FIRST and that portends an attitude of honest skepticism and courage to challenge entrenched orthodoxy. If you follow this advice, I can promise you a very small circle of friends and an abundance of detractors. People of every stripe are herd oriented but so are lemmings. If you find, as I have, that the creator of all things has offered us a written set of instructions and at the same time given us free choice. I choose His Laws as my code of conduct. I know He knows better than we how man ought to behave and what will fulfill our needs and lead to tranquility, peace and prosperity. It’s your choice. Man or Maker’s will be done?

Liberation in and of itself is a false premise as has been exposed above. Theology is also bogus. The science of Theos or God is an untenable folly much as a science of babyhood would be. We can learn what He commands and either do it or refuse to do it. Making a scientific study of Theos is to stand in judgment of Him and His commands. Yes we do have the ‘CHOICE’ to question Him but do you want to assume that posture?

Let me submit to His authority.

Is He, who is able to bring all things into being, elect-able as our CEO? Do I hear a second? How are you going to use your Liberty , your freedom of choice?
