'Another stringer loaded with logic and truth from the "Shark!" Good post, friend!

Yes, there is such seemingly insanity prevalent in this day and age! But I think that the condition can be seen elsewhere in history as well, only in different forms. Scripture identifies the culprit to be "exceeding wickedness in the heart of man." It's probably multi-faceted; diverse in its structuring, but in a real sense, can be attributed to a common denominator: "Self." It has been written that "Self" is the most difficult hurdle to clear. And with its obtuse, anti-Christian tenet, it pervades our modern world fully.

How many of us are invested in it?

ego and me me me for sure, though self, in Jungian terms and others, is a wholesome concept. a unity of conscious mind and the unconscious MIND (dream world) and , speculatively the collective spiritual (holy ghost, or ghosts, lol). Pink floyd welcome to the machine, what did you dream, we told you what to dream.

OK,

And did they get you trade: Your heroes for ghosts

Hot ashes for trees

Hot air for a cool breeze

Here's the cut and paste:

So, so you think you can tell

Heaven from hell?

Blue skies from pain?

Can you tell a green field

From a cold steel rail?

A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade

Your heroes for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change?

Did you exchange

A walk-on part in the war

For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here

We're just two lost souls

Swimming in a fish bowl

Year after year

Running over the same old ground

What have we found?

The same old fears

Wish you were here

P.Floyd

I think we can deduce who "They" are by now.
