Political Awakenings

My first awareness of geo-politics came in 1951 at the tender age of 8.  I'd started reading adult fare.. newspaper and magazines and was somewhat interested in what made news on the front page. 
When Truman Fired General MacArthur it became enough of an issue of interest that I brought it up to my Dad.
I was aware enough that Dad really didn't like Truman so I was a little surprised at his commentary on the really contentious issue.
He said that, although MacArthur was right on far east policy and, especially, the need to defeat North Korea, the President was the Commander in Chief and Truman had no choice but to fire his General in Charge after MacArthur had openly and repeatedly criticized his policies in the Far East. 

I could tell from his demeanor, -meaning tight jaw, having seen it directed at me, how much he hated siding with Truman.  But our Country couldn't exist with this sort of dissension.
Such is politics, sometimes seems and is cruel but it's the only way in a Constitutional Republic..

Relief of Douglas MacArthur

May all your dreams come true... literally. A curse?

It's not Christian to wish someone 'get everything they say they want'.. and we all know why.
Cuz we'll feel badly for them, and ourselves, if they do.

 

So the answer is in a self resolving 'mixed blessing', like:

"May you have Nightly Vivid Dreams in which everything to which you aspire has become reality!"

Since many Psychologists say the Subconscious doesn't lie, this might obviously bring truth to fever brained idealists who have absolutely no grounding in actual physics, economics and even Human Nature.

Now as to those who abuse children by propagating destructive ideas in teaching them...
Makes me feel dirty but I really want them to pay in karma.
