A PART OF THE ARTICLE:
“It has been said that ‘A bad apple ruins the barrel.’ When putrefaction spreads, sometimes it gets the healthy tissue too.
The Bible advises repeatedly to separate yourselves from those who are not of high standards. It says this in many different ways. Separation seems to be so important that it even advises death — the ultimate separation of a person from society — for any number of aberrations from upstanding behavior.
Do I suggest going around killing people? No. But to separate yourself from those who are not to your standards makes a whole lot of sense at this stage in the trajectory of corona communism.
The Bible, an uncountable number of times, references people who are set apart rather than people who are not set apart. Sure, I have encountered a few cowardly readers of these pages in which I am writing, but overwhelmingly courageous lions come to this place.
If you are reading this, there is a good chance that you are one set apart. It may be time to start treating yourself like that.
You are not a social pariah, no matter what some others may believe. You are not a second class citizen, no matter what some others may claim. You are the foundation upon which a new America will be built.
Stop accepting the negative narrative from those who want to demoralize you. Stop letting those who are not set apart from speaking into your life. Stop letting the dribbles of discouragement fall upon your ears, your mind, your heart, your soul.
This discouragement can come from friend or foe alike. It may even be far easier to accept coming from a friend, though the 24-7 news cycle, social media, and streaming movie services being so central in the lives of so many make the harmful, discouraging narratives so present on the ears.”
“There are people who can fire a gun and kill an enemy from 50 feet. Sometimes that same person cannot look in the eye of another person in a role of presumed authority while telling him what he expects from that person in order to get through his day more enjoyably and more freely. Great valor is shown in times of war, but one must recognize that great valor also happens in daily life. That valor of daily life is the valor that matters so much, and it is the valor that prevents kinetic wars from ever taking place.”
“Because the truth is, you are better than that. If you are a person of valor, you are a one-percenter in the world around you. You may or may not be a one-percenter in terms of money or a one-percenter in terms of global power, you may, however, possess the one percent status that actually matters at a time like this.”
“Do you recognize the gift you have been given to be born in the most powerful country on earth, the freest country on earth, at a time of such global tyranny, and to be able to fight a battle in your own life, that can echo out into the world around you, with global ramifications, for centuries? If you did, you might treat yourself differently. If you did, you might weigh your every action more seriously. If you did, you might treat your elite status, your elite tools, your social circle you choose a bit differently.”
“Now, more than ever, is a time to be in the midst of the iron that can sharpen iron, to be in the midst of those who you barely feel worthy of being around, to be in the midst of the elite of our day as much as possible and to let them demand high standards of you, for you to demand high standards of them, and for you to elevate each other as you go through daily life.
It is a time to recognize your elite status. It is a time to honor that in you. It is a time to separate yourself.”
Richard, reading this takes me back to one word that you've used here, and in other blogs, "truth". I have been surprised how many otherwise intelligent, capable people I meet, in relation to my work, who are totally blind when it comes figuring out what is true and what isn't. I often just shake my head after talking to those people, and think, "How can someone like you possible be so blind to what's right before your eyes?" It has to be the mass formation psychosis at work. Thanks for what you're doing, Richard! Keep it up!
