The mystery of history.
G-Pop wanted to tell all of his children about the theme of the human journey which never changes, even though we may feel overwhelmed by present circumstances.
History has a song.
It has been sung since the beginning of time and will continue to be performed until people are no more. If you understand this, then you will not be so prone to join the detractors and the fearful souls who select a dreary path of doom and gloom.
Kingdoms will rise, idiots will rule but life has a way of dispelling the stupid.
Sometimes it takes a year.
Occasionally it may take a generation.
But eventually, all bad ideas are toted away to the garbage dump, where they rot with their ridiculous predecessors.
So to understand the mystery of history, you must recognize what causes ideas to be faulty, falling by the wayside. If you don’t, you will listen to the newscast and be convinced that the present dictator, the threatening illness or the terrorist with a bomb will soon be at your doorstep to take away your life.
There are four warning signs for those who are ignorant of history and think they will be able to contradict it by being assholes:
1. Arrogance.
When you see it, run. Any group of people who believes they are better than other people will eventually be proven to be inferior. They may stomp; they may shout. They may fire cannons into the air. But arrogance is always punished, because the accompanying ignorance prohibits it from learning a better way.
2. Stealing freedom.
Yes, any individual or government that believes it can limit the freewill choice of human beings in order to promote righteousness or some other purpose ends up being overthrown because of its overgrown sense of importance.
3. Controlling.
There is no such thing as you having the keys to my life. You may think you do, but eventually the need to control overwhelms the dictator with too much responsibility, and he or she falls in disgrace.
If God is not going to control our lives, what makes you think that He would allow anyone else to do it?
There is no doubt about the fate of those who manipulate others. The only question is, how quickly will it happen?
4. Apathy.
The pseudo-intellectuals who believe they establish their intelligence by pooh-poohing simple ideas as being childish and meaningless, as they sit by and do nothing are eventually knocked off their pedestals by the blowing of a new spiritual wind.
You don’t get anywhere in life by being cynical. If you’re against the possibility of humans improving and growing just because you want to appear worldly and jaded, then you will be replaced by those who possess childlike faith.
- Napoleon was gone in 18 years.
- Hitler lasted 13.
- The Soviet Union survived about 70 years, and that’s only because World War II gave us a worse demon to chase.
- Al Qaeda can become ISIS, or destroy under the name of the Taliban, but all monsters end up chewing off their own legs and bleeding out.
- And China, in its present state, is struggling with oppression and the effects of attempting to squeeze people.
Do I need to mention all the people in history who believed in their misguided causes, and for a season, strutted across the stage, only to end up discarded after intermission?
The mystery of history is this:
Arrogant, freedom-stealing, controlling and apathetic people seem powerful … until the Spirit of Hope blows them away.
