Alright. Here it is in a nutshell.
I honor the Jewish culture, its achievements both public and secret. I consider myself an example of those achievements. I thank them for sharing as they have, and suffering as they have, and surviving as they have, for the advancement of common knowledge. I understand completely that much of the "correctness" of the alpha-numeric system thus far is thanks to them on at least a few levels.
But enough with the grudge already, man. You know what I'm talking about.
Our worst "monsters" are those most deserving of our pity and empathy. Not "even" when we end up having to put them down violently and permanently, but ESPECIALLY then. Can you claim to understand the personal agonies that must have produced such mindsets? If their answers become the only ones they can accept, what went into the formation of those selves? How great must be the pain that requires such an outlet?
The stoic ones, the logical ones, you take their total inability to communicate along the lines of the empathic as further cases against their humanity. HOW DARE YOU! Do you have ANY idea how human it is to want to build the best wall you can? How arrogant can you be, to claim prevailing wisdom and ignore these facts!
4:20 means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. I put forth a consolidation of ideals. Let all those who dare spark up the pipe of peace, and think on the conditions that create monstrosity while under Mary's protection. Let any who have the power come to understand and forgive even the single worst act in recorded human history. Pour one out for the enemy, and the friend he SHOULD have been. Maybe not the full 40, but the poor victim deserves a few ounces, because when it's all said and done he was as much a victim as any.
I know it's not cool to talk about this, on any level, but I shed tears for him regularly. Whenever I think of how that mindset must have taken hold, the tears come with a strength I can't deny. The ignorant and hateful hold him up relentlessly as a flag for the rightness of their hatred and continue to kill and main in his name. Those versant in the true depth of his sin revile him as a pox upon creation, deny him even his status as a creation of God.
Wherever his soul might be, I am sure it begs only for oblivion. I am sure he is sorry for the pain he can now not help perceive. I would trade my own existence willingly to offer him the void he must so obviously need. After all, the Old Man was only joking, and in his tragic way the Child General was just trying to make daddy proud.
Revile me if you must for this, but I refuse to hate him any longer. He started by shitting in his diapers like anyone else. He too is from the land down under.
