Resolution

 

There is a ledger out there somewhere,

a determination of good and bad, of saints

and sinners. It lies memorialized in the

eyes of those still alive.

Yes, we often elevate, ourselves to

judge, jury and executioner meting out

damnation or praise in the name of

the god of our choosing.

Every Western cowboy movie ever

made has its bad guys and good. It

is widely understood that the white

hat and black distinguish which is

which. (Of course appearance wise,

black is easier to keep clean.)

Frankly, the universe out there doesn’t

equate insofar as good and bad are

concerned.

Now, I’m not suggesting there is no

distinguishing right from wrong, It is

however a mankind thing. And we

do have laws and rules as far as that

goes.

Nature knows neither bad nor good.

Mankind sets the resolutions to suite

his judgment of that.

The tornado wouldn’t have been so bad

had it tracked along wide open unpopulated

land. It just wasn’t right, the bad guy did

what he wasn’t supposed to do.

Here, try on this black hat for size. I hate

to be critical, but the shoes you’re wearing

appear to be a size or so too large for you.

Just saying.
