Italian Political Election.

It's better I do not comment. I feel my country will drown even deeper. No hope for any change. No hope for any improvement. I am disheartened. I feel bad.

I've been listening on the radio here and--augh! How frustrating!

In Human, All Too Human, existential philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche had this to say about hope:
Hope. Pandora brought the jar with the evils and opened it. It was the gods' gift to man, on the outside a beautiful, enticing gift, called the "lucky jar." Then all the evils, those lively, winged beings, flew out of it. Since that time, they roam around and do harm to men by day and night. One single evil had not yet slipped out of the jar. As Zeus had wished, Pandora slammed the top down and it remained inside. So now man has the lucky jar in his house forever and thinks the world of the treasure. It is at his service; he reaches for it when he fancies it. For he does not know that that jar which Pandora brought was the jar of evils, and he takes the remaining evil for the greatest worldly good--it is hope, for Zeus did not want man to throw his life away, no matter how much the other evils might torment him, but rather to go on letting himself be tormented anew. To that end, he gives man hope. In truth, it is the most evil of evils because it prolongs man's torment.

Love,

Thanks Kathy, at this point, having no hope should be easier.
I should fight with one evil less. I hope it will work. Again, I need to focus on the micro-society, on trying to produce examples of what I intend to pass on to this world.It's so difficult, and makes me feel so lonely. I can't believe most of the people around me voted for this guys. I can't believe it.

I'm sorry you are feeling sad! If you can bet a copy of What Does the Bible REALLY Teach, you might like the chapter that explains why people voted as they did and what we can expect from the future. It helped me get satisfying answers, you might enjoy it.

you are not alone in your frustrations my friend. I am sorry you are feeling such distress. I have agonized & shed many tears over the last 7 plus years here in the states.
A wise older Native american man reminded mike & i that there is a bigger plan for the '7th generation'.
I find comfort in trying to remember that God has a bigger plan and to give control over to him. Of course that does not mean we give in and silently stand by!
