A discussion today at Covenant Zone centers around the decay of Britain.
Charles Henry says:
"Reading the news in the European press reminds me ever so much of being visited by the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come, and being offered a glimpse into my, our, potential future... a world empty of hope, compassion and reason.
"The stories out of the UK speak of a decaying nation, and it's increasingly challenging to believe that the institutions designed to serve as a candle's light in the darkness will remain untouched by the fog of despair blanketing today's not-so-Great Britain, like a shroud."
**************
Yes. It's all too easy to despair, given PC gone wild. Morals, such as they are, don't seem to exist, in the climate of free passes given to criminals, while law-abiding citizens are made to adhere to ever-increasingly bizarre standards of conduct, along with spy cameras every 3 feet, increased taxation for an increasingly puerile bureaucracy, etc.
What keeps faith alive, in times like these?
Small gestures.
Like this one. A Welshman, following a dream.
Can I have some peace and quiet?
-
I am so tired of hearing politics, just let me sit here alone for a
few minutes;
No bashing or criticizing.
Just let me sit here and hear nothing.
