One of the indomitable lessons passed on from the American Indian was short, sweet, precise, and to the point. It defined them, it WAS them. "How long you live is not important, HOW you live is what matters". While the vast majority live out lives of quiet desperation, there are those of us that understand a grave is nothing but a ditch with two ends on it. That's nothing to aspire to. The zest and appeal of a wonderful life is gained through education, knowledge, experience, and wisdom surrounded by like-minded people. Yes, we had the exact same choices everybody else did, but we sought education over indoctrination. Anybody can do it, but the journey of a thousand miles begins only with the first step. Most won't take it, because of lethargy or epistemophobia. Both are tickets to the same destination, that quiet desperation. Regardless of the position we're now in, it's never too late to begin the trip back. One step at a time. Ignoring the bleating lemmings on social media and MSM. Refusing to allow anybody's opinion elevation above your own. With research and truth, you're just as entitled to your own opinion, and it will serve the test of time. The thrills of winning debates on the debate team in school were some of the favorite memories I have. Today, that same "win" is confirmed when they call you a name. Same effect. Truth reigns eternal. Nothing can be said, nothing manipulated to change that. There's absolutely no reason to compromise that. Oh, they'll try, just to bring you down to their level where they'll beat you with experience. BUT, the person girded with an education and truth is never at the mercy of an indoctrinated imbecile with a theory. Are YOU going to live up to your eulogy, or be one of those who're forgotten mere weeks later? The choice, once again, is yours. HOW you live it?
