Lessons from My Fish Tank, 1

If a fish tries to understand the concept, reality or possible benefits of dryness, the fish will only be able to do so in terms of the corruption of its own reality.

Why? Because the fish has never experienced anything, except in water.

And so with progressivism to a conservative Republican in Wyoming,
or conservatism to a liberal Democrat in western Washington,
or racism to one who has known only white privileges,
or the horrors common to people of all races, to one who sees everything only through a racial lens,
or struggles unique to women, to one who has known only male privileges,
or struggles unique to men, to one who sees everything only through a feminist lens,
or education to one with a habitually lazy brain,
or overwhelming mystery to a professional academic,
or the freedom to lovingly serve, to one who has known only bondage,
or the maturity of persevering commitment, to one who has known only self-indulgence in the guise of "freedom,"
or appetite run wild, to one with unusual self-control,
or non-alcohol fun, to an alcoholic,
or the possibility of an unflattering truth, to one who punishes all offenses real or imagined,
or an honest compliment to a child in a cruel home,
or genuine empathy to a malignant narcissist,
or our commonly shared Human Tragedy to one who routinely thinks "you don't know what it is like to ___ [suffer like I have]." (Fill in the blank.)

There is only one way out of such ignorance traps:
To die, literally and completely, to the environment that falsely feels like life itself, and then to literally and completely rise from the dead.

Or to cling ferociously to the only One who has truly done so.

Leftists caused the Notre Dame fire

Equal Time (see previous post)

Arguments you can use to prove that Leftists caused the Notre Dame fire.

(Remember, a passion for Wisdom just gets in the way of a brief, impressive sounding argument.)

1. Notre Dame: Major symbol of eight centuries of white privilege.

2. A reminder to Europe that when the French Revolution outlawed Christianity, they were really on to something.

3. Bill Clinton was thinking of becoming a Catholic priest, and Hillary finally put her foot down - in Paris!

4. Ben Shapiro and Milo Yiannopoulos were scheduled to give speeches there.

5. All art before the late 20th Century is ugly.

6. Several Antifa women thought the phrase "flying buttress" was some kind of slam on how they look from behind.

7. Julian Assange had documents hidden somewhere in the rafters which showed that Hillary might have been slightly less than perfectly honest in one or two of her public statements.

8. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks it would be "really neat" to become a famous architect. (Needs somewhere to build her first "shelter like."

9. Nice location for a Planned Parenthood family health center.

10. Nice location for a mosque.

Trump caused the Notre Dame fire!

Arguments you can use to prove Trump caused the Notre Dame fire.
(Remember, just because you have no real passion for Truth doesn't mean you can't come up with an impressive sounding argument.):

1. Orange hair encourages fires to start.

2. Trump's ignorant French supporters took "Feel the Bern" literally.

3. Trump's first name is Donald >>> "Donald" begins with a "D" >>> "D" rhymes with Paree

4. The fire started in the cathedral's Right wing.

5. If you get the audio version of "The Hunchback of Notre Name," and play it backwards, it keeps repeating, "Quasimodo stole the election... Quasimodo stole the election..."

6. When CNN said they had evidence of Trump's collusion in starting the fire, he said he did not, and everyone knows he's a liar.

7. Fire comes from Hell, and Trump is the devil.

8. He once grabbed this Dame by the pews-y.

9. "Freedom FRIES" used to be a noun. Now, thanks to Trump, it's a VERB.

10 Racism, sexism, genderism, wooden cathedralism.
