Saw my taxes at work today, in the guise of helping the poor. What it really was—politicians on an institutionalized early campaign trail to bag their dynasty (reality: caretaker status). Indeed, it takes two to tango. One recalls Luke 16:1-8 (particularly, eight)—for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light. One can see the effeminacy, naïveté, and pacifism of the latter allows the triumph of the former. And given the very socialist nature of our social order, even for those of us who see… it’s checkmate. More and more one can see just how irresolvable the situation—that no work of human hands can address.

Indeed, checkmate on man—stubborn, broken, and fallen. One isn’t being pessimistic. It’s simply a consistent pattern in biblical history, called reality—stubborn and forgetful are we.
