Some people are better at following through - on behalf of others - with their noble thoughts of truth, genuinely praiseworthy love, admirably giving of themselves -- committed to the excellence and purity of Justice for All. Still, there are no presidents, police, priests, candidates, lives of any color -- and certainly no Wall Street Bankers who have achieved, perfection.
However, thoughtful common sense reveals the bloody truth: the assassinations of JFK, MLK Bobby and police prove, enduring victories, whether Revolutions or not, are not sprints, but toiling uphill plods -- dragging those who resist letting go of the past.
Anyone can have Faith, Hope and Charity in their hearts and minds when guns, bombs and trucks aren't killing people, but the real proof of strength of character is holding on when life is tragic. Real change, like healing requires patience and perseverance -- not bailing when it doesn't go your way.
Even The Marshall Plan had $trings attached. So believing we are not imperialistic when allowing Caesar-like leaders to build a global empire of military bases as shots heard round the world, is as self-deluding as denying melting glaciers.
