A Blacksmiths Dream

A Blacksmith’s Dream

SHRUE:

At a certain point, words stop helping. That’s the conclusion I’ve come to.

I get to talk a lot, in my career. Sometimes they even give me a newspaper column to write as well.

And none of it…I have to be honest with myself, none of it’s ever helped anyone.

We live in a world of noise, and all this talking, it…it’s more angles and perspectives and commentary and outright propaganda, and if we’re very lucky our talking can lift us to a place of individual prominence and power, and then we’ll feel like we’ve won because we have an audience now, and this is when we get to really make a difference-

It fills up our lives, this talking, it holds us in place. Endless vying viewpoints to be mulled over and debated and never once acted upon, because all of it -

-all of that talk, no matter how progressive, no matter how hopeful, can’t help but end up serving the one true god that rules over us all, the greatest of all gods, the fervent, universal faith: a god of lies.

The lie that things are already working as well as they possibly can...

...
