Most profound quote from the Bible

Matthew 5:5:

IOW, while you and I, being big manly men, are off fighting and destroying everything (including ourselves and anyone else we see), the meek are off hiding, waiting it out, being silent, etc.

When all destruction is finished, when the last of those who have not hidden are dead, there will be none left but the meek. There will be none standing in their path, and as such their ways will not be subjugated, they will not be downtrodden, silenced, etc. Their way will be the way … but the beauty of it is that (IMO, of course) there will be as many unobstructed ways as there are people, because the meek will not get in each other’s ways.

Say what you want about the power of the bomb or the gun (both more powerful than the pen, IMO), but when all destruction at the hands of humans is past, the meek will inherit the earth, so all the fighting you do now for your way is pretty much pointless … except to the meek, the more greedy of whom will only encourage the destruction so they can have their time (but the greedy, unlike Father Mulcahey, do not get promoted in this scheme of mine). The greedier of the meeks will come out too early, though.

The world will be left to selfless, pragmatic, quiet respectful humans. Would that this time were upon us now.
