'Idal (Justice), 15 Masa’il (Questions) 175 B.E. - Wednesday, December 26, 2018 The End of a Gregorian Year There are six day left in 2018. It has been both an inspiring and frightening year. I don't see the situation changing very much in the next six day. I could be wrong, the world situation could get either better or worse. The American political situation could get either better or worse. My life situation could get either better or worse. The truth is, there are only two ways any situation or event can go. The situation can either get better or it can get worse, because that's how life on the physical or material plane is. Eventually, I believe, the world situation will get better; however, we--the human race--will have to go through hell before we reach the end of the dark tunnel we are in. Humanity is in the process of maturing as a race, as a species, and the present worldwide political situation is a reflection of the growing process. The human race, as a species, will have to let go of the superstitio9ns, dogma, and fears of its childhood before it can step into the responsibility, security, and wisdom of its adulthood. Eventually humanity will take on its adult responsibilities, and the political situation across the planet will improve. |
