Thoreau insightfully and wisely contrasted the times and the eternities… I might suggest to contrast the news* and the olds.

*”news” being the plural of new.

Death and Suffering are worldwide Principles by which the events and deeds of this world are judged, temporarily.

If all the glories of this world are passing, then what indeed may be not?

History, psychology, social studies, self reflection show that “they are evil, we are good” is superficial and false. Many of the murderous terrors and wars throughout history are inflamed by this unrealistic simplistic opposition.

It is a popular opposition. And clearly many leaders don’t know better, either on a sociopolitical or individual-psychological level.

False demonizations.

History and social psychology are useless when they are so shallowly “known”.

Agnothi seauton.

I am determined in trying to be an entity, however many who know me won’t know.

*”unaccompanied, solitary; without companions,” c. 1300, a contraction of all ane, from Old English all ana “unaccompanied all by oneself”, literally “wholly oneself,” from all “all, wholly” + an “one”.

While it is a curious fact how many can for even decades hardly believe in it, or only belatedly so, Death is a ruling Lord of this world which all of us come to know.

Many might well be humiliated to know that what they assume themselves to uniquely, freshly do, has been done many times, ofttimes perennially, before.

There are events, ideas, myths, even locations, much greater than many who would speak about them.

Those in American politicss who rejoice at the failures of the opposition are sick in politics.

It would be interesting and revealing to consider the essential, important History, directly related to the contemporary time, that by most people is barely known.
