They don't just remember...

...or consider... the dark.  Whoever it is who lingers out there.

I was thinking, while watching the Wick movie thing...  He has to realize, Keanu Reeves... or whatever his real name may be if that isn't it... as an actor?  If he has tried to... do more than choreograph the moves?  That in war, there... is no hope.  If you live, survive?  It... isn't your doing.  Just as when you kill.  It's an amazing thing, to realize.  Either very freeing or... terrifying.  Depends on if you can realize to let go.

What are you letting go of?  Life, or your claim to it?  Your belief in yourself?  Are you surrendering that?  If so, to whom, Whom, or what?  Fate?  Really?  God?  Nothing, no one?  At some point there... are only two which are somewhat satisfying... for most.  They either try to keep it, and believe they are in control of their fate, and the fate of those around them.  Or they give it to God and let go.  

Not... giving up, when relinquishing control to God.  Just... living in the moment, surrendering their life to what may happen.  I don't think either guarantees success or failure, to be honest.  But one realizes that losing is more than a possibility.  In some cases it is a high likelihood.  But, the price would be worth it.  Or is somehow required.

Stepping in front of a bullet for a loved one, especially a wife or child.  Dying for the right defense of one's people.  There are reasons, right reasons, for dying, risking death, killing.  If too, some were... wrangled in, taught, manipulated.  Don't know right from wrong.  In time, it is hoped.  There is usually, for most, a chance... at some point.  Often at many points.  Just... some thoughts that way.

As to the good?  Ah, this.  They offered a longer reverberating vid, with music in the background that drowned out most of what was said.  I had to go looking, to find a simpler video.  This is the truth I believe most should hear.  You can't change things in the M.E.  You can't do a lot of things.  But, you can live right, humbly, with a grace that shines.  Shows the path for others.  It is this that will keep the greater evils at bay.  And if it doesn't, angels will intercede.  Perfectly?  That isn't this world.  But your grace will keep even the most powerful evil in check.  I tell you this without any doubt or hesitation.  I said the end is in your hands.  This is how to keep it at bay.

Of course, you will suffer.  You will hurt.  You will become ill, old, fail.  You will die.  But, with this simple act, or multitude of acts, another generation will come, hopefully repeat this, and go.  It... isn't God keeping evil at bay, it is Him allowing you to do so.  And, you have done... relatively well for two thousand years.  Or He would have come again already.

I know.  That doesn't... always seem enough.  Take heart.  This... is as close to His will as you can do at this point in the progression of things.  He is pleased or doom would be at your door, at your throat, and most of you would be taking the number of the beast.  Not yet, not today?  Not tomorrow?  Kicking the can is what you have.  Keep kicking it, and whistling while having a fine day.  Evil will tend itself, or be tended by those who do that.  Amen.
