“STOP THE COUNT” … “KEEP THE COUNT GOING.” This is a glaring example of the dysfunction of Trump and the Republicans – sorry, the Trump Party.
A chapter from our forthcoming Book of Love in the Time of COVID-1, Morning Star’s Seven Steps to Spiritual Awakening, points this out in clear terms:
Ancient knowledge and wisdom never die. The echo of ancient knowledge needs to be heard once again. One small segment of ancient Greek knowledge is connected to ancient Delphi. It is the Delphic maxim “keep the measure.” There are a multitude of meanings and teachings connected with this maxim. One meaning is “measure everything before you act,” another one: “everything measure excellent”— “right measure” ….
Corresponding to the ancient Delphic Pythagorean maxim, it is wise advice to measure anything before we act; always measure perfectly. As we can see from the lack of measure, our culture and society are measureless. The dysfunction of being measureless results in hubris, exaggerated self-pride, this recklessness goes hand in hand with atē, being blinded. Atē was the ancient Greek personified spirit of delusion, infatuation, blind folly, rash action, and reckless impulse who led people down the path of ruin. ….
SOUND FAMILIAR
Of this maxim it has been said that the ancient Greek Seven Sages wished humankind to observe due measure and proportion in all matters instead of making irrevocable decisions about any human affairs. It has been obvious that “due measure and proportion” was a far cry from the response to the pandemic due to the hubris, exaggerated self-pride, recklessness, self-centeredness, narcissistic and egocentric personality of the President and his cronies.
