The Wolf

Why is man the worst beast of all? Where I live sometimes a sheep is killed by a wolf. Farmers who raise sheep get angry and want all the wolves killed. To them world without wolves would be ideal. That the world would then be less magnificent without the creature, which the wolf is, would be okay with them. They see wolves as an expensive nuisance. 

Artist Unknown

They can’t see what any child can see because a child’s brain has not yet been corrupted by the idea that dollars and cents determine the value of wolves. Mostly, their value is negative because they kill livestock that have dollars-and-cents value. Man’s avarice leads to genocide if it is profitable. And shamefully for our species it makes no difference if what is being eliminated is a species such as wolves or unwanted cultures. The Bible illustrates genocidal thinking toward unwanted cultures: 

In the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes.  Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you. (Deuteronomy 20:16-17) 

And who is the Lord? The Lord is the projection human masculine will to power. When Christians invaded North America like the the Israelites in Canaan they used religion justify the genocidal avarice. Their motive was material consumption, not spirituality. Unlike the wolf, man’s appetite is without limit. It is Faustian, the literary personification of aggressive masculinity. And unlimited appetite leads to genocidal behavior that destroys the soul and moral integrity. Appetite for sex, wealth, and power defines man, not reason. As Freud warned, reason must be acquired and developed, appetite (the id) is part and parcel of masculinity.

That is the difference between the wolf and man. The wolf is dangerous but he is not evil. Only man is evil because his infinite appetite makes him into a monster that seeks to consume the world, whereas the wolf simply lives in it. Man, unlike the wolf, ceased to live in the world when he chose to be the Lord of the World, which meant that only he had inherent value and the value of all else was its contribution to his narcissistic Faustian satisfaction. He has sought to tame the wild world and make it his slave. Why is the wolf seen as noble and sublime and man as grotesque, repulsive, and ugly, a monster of unrestrained aggressive appetite. The evidence is everywhere to be seen—in Ukraine, Gaza, and the White House. Nothing has changed since the Israelite were committing genocide in Canaan. That is man, the worst of beasts.

France’s Whiners, Rioters, and Saboteurs

 

You’ve never struggled

You whine and riot.

Your life is not hard.

The Gleaners Jean-François Millet

This was when life was hard in France

And in America:

Those were generations that were poor but great in spirit.

They knew drought, dust, dirt, hunger, homelessness, and poverty.

They slept in fields, roadsides, on city streets.

Their clothes were worn, often rags.

In France they heard Nazi soldiers march though their streets.

They were afraid but did not whine.

They endured and fought, many died.

How ironic that you’ve become the enemy

destroying communities.

You set fires to business, firetrucks, cars, motorcycles, everything.

You are the arsonists, not the cops.

The cops don’t break, destroy, set fires, or loot.

You do.

Peasant’s Cottage Vincent van Gogh

You are not your ancestors.

You never heard the Nazis marching through the streets.

Their lives were truly hard, deadly so.

Instead of enduring suffering

and struggling to overcome suffering

as your grandparents did

you whine and cause suffering.

That is why they are the greatest generation

and you’re not.

They struggled

day after day

month after month

year after year.

Coming from the Mill L.S. Lowry

They did not seek to destroy their cities.

The Germans did that.

They were your Greatest Generation

because they sought to preserve their homeland

not destroy it.

They didn’t smash and loot (steal!).

With your violent destructive outburst and anger

you may think you are like them.

You’re not.

Peasant Shoes Vincent van Gogh

Yes, it is true.

You have been betrayed

by politicians blinded by ideology

who pursue personal wealth

and to be celebrities.

Stonepickers Midday Sir George Clausen

Then get rid of them

instead of burning, destroying, and looting.

You live in a democracy.

Macron is a poor politician

but not a monster such as Putin

who can’t be voted out of office.

You have no enemy as your grandparents did.

You didn’t value schools, teachers, or books

before you deserted them.

So, I must ask

why the change of heart?

When you had teachers

you disliked them.

You ignored them.

When you didn’t have them

you still had books.

But study is work.

Ruckus play is fun.

Study requires discipline.

Rioting is an easy form of self-expression.

Freedom requires neither knowledge nor wisdom.

Creativity is hard.

Destruction is easy.

Breaking stuff makes one feel powerful

like a frustrated child

who breaks a toy

given to him by his parents.

Great Depression Mom and Her Children Dorothea Lange

When a little hardship enters your lives

I say a little because you still have a home.

You have food on the table

and most likely a television, computer, and cell phone.

Judging by images smartly dressed.

Great Depression Mother, Father & Child Dorothea Lange

You are not homeless.

You do not sleep in alleys or on doorsteps.

You need not beg for money

to buy something to eat.

When sick or injured

you will be cared for

by the state you so much hate.

Your grandparents endured far greater hardship

with dignity.

You whine and riot and destroy.

Your ancestors struggled.

Your parents may struggle,

but you do not.

You only whine and destroy but have homes to go back to,

food to eat, medical care if sick or injured.

You didn’t value schools before you deserted them

so why now?

ö ö ö

And immigrants

why do you remain

in a country you hate,

among a people you hate,

whose culture you hate?

You hate them for their ancestors’ misdeeds

forgetting what is being proven everywhere

in Ukraine and Gaza

even on the streets of Paris

that humanity is trapped 

in Darwin’s Paradox: La bête humaine.

We are the worst of beasts.

It’s all alien to you.

You hate Western Civilization,

its arts, philosophy, and science.

You reject Christianity as I do,

but just like MAGA Old Testament Christians

you reject wise man Jesus

who would have also rejected Christianity

seeing how he had been betrayed

by those who never knew him

and who ignored his message

to create a religion of hatred

rather than compassion.

And like MAGA Christianity,

Marxism, and Fascism,

you reject Jesus, Buddha, and Lao Tzu

because they prefer peace to violence

and harmony to suffering causing disorder.

Like the other ideologies that need enemies,

you thrive on disorder and suffering causing violence.

So why stay in a place you hate so much,

a place you do not want to belong to,

a place that is alien to you,

a place you will not call home ever?

One wonders why your people came

to Europe. Why was your home country abandoned?

Could it be because European nations

consistently dominate the top spots

for healthcare, safety, and economic stability?

You want the healthcare, safety, and economic stability

but hate the people and the culture that created

the healthcare, safety, and economic stability you want.

You yourselves repudiate multiculturalism

as much as your critics do.

So why not return to monocultural homeland? 

ö ö ö

A country can only do so much for its people.

Yes, ask what your country can do for you,

but also ask what you can do for your country.

Rather than just whining about what you don’t have,

you can begin by being thankful for what you do have

rather than destroying it for yourselves

and for others who are thankful rather than hateful.
