There have been no recent developments in
human behaviour unknown to the ancients
who analyzed how humankind dissolved its
humanity in venomous paroxysms of envy
fear and hatred of the other. As a prescription
for peace they warned against excesses of
reaction to the deep pools of dysfunction
between tribes and faith in the eternal essence
of omniscient, omnipresent, jealous and
controlling spirits. Among them surely
there were some wise beyond their time
who understood that it is within each soul
that the controlling spirit exists to be ignored
at one's peril to be sent spiralling into that
special hell of misery draining the goblet
of bitter gall transforming life into an
unending blizzard of blame and victimhood.
