Out Of Our Madness - Vanity
vanity | May 24, 2016 | Louis Foxwell

Posted on 05/24/2016 7:13:36 AM PDT by Louis Foxwell

We have been living in the fantasy of A Clockwork Orange dystopia. Through the Looking Glass has morphed into Night of the Living Dead. Up is down. Down is up. It is all horrible and deadly.

Our leader is foul with his own excrement, bloodthirsty and deranged beyond sanity. Nothing good has come of this Dance With the Devil.





At last, an avenging angel has come with a flaming sword. His words are harsh. His blows are mighty. He drives some mad with hatred. Many are drawn to his vengeance. All are enthralled by the specter of a purging conflagration that burns into the soul. Here, in the Hell of our own design, we are drawn to a lightening bolt thrower, a Zeus, who calls us to follow him out of Hell.

Can there be a Greater Good than this, that we may be delivered out of our madness? Yes. There can and there is, but it is a narrow path that leads ever upward. It is a torturous climb that leaves most dangling from its precipices. It is the painful climb to real salvation. Its end provides deliverance from madness. It is the Way of Christ and is our only Hope.

All the rest, the salacious buggerers who dance precious minuets, the heroic Zeus announced by blaring trumpets, these are the minions of our madness.

We know in the deepest part of our soul that we must follow the Living God if we are to have life beyond this Veil of Tears. That is all. That is all there has ever been.

Veil of Tears

I believe you meant "vale of tears".

Wow. I looked it up, and you are correct. In 50+ years I have always seen it the other way.

I can rest easy for the remainder of the day. I learned something new.

I built a multi-level condo in Colorado. I call it the Vail of Tiers.

Well I haven’t seen a living god in my day so I’ll stick with Trump for now. Why because with all the evil going on at this time the uniparty is now on it’s way to bail out puerto rico. Some priorities these devils have!-)

It’s a little early in the day for dropping acid, isn’t it?

Just re-read your story. Gets me every time. Prescient and scary.

Great stuff -- enjoyed the Enemies trilogy as well!

Both are acceptable. My imagery, however, is more attuned with “vale” (valley of Baca, Psalm 84:6) of tears. The “veil” of tears is a movie title about the suffering of Asian women. (tears behind the veil)
