Our government, in the guise of the benevolent father, has been given authority to take actions, even though they are fraught with secrecy and abuse that are supposedly in the best interests of the populace. We can t even imagine that a democracy would be capable of depriving of us of our basic civil rights. Perhaps the Prophets of our coming age can see further and deeper into the vast labyrinth that envelops us. Perhaps, just consider the possibility, that because of their own struggle for recovery and their courage to fight that they present US with the roadmap to our collective recovery. It s not a comfortable thought.
Recovery never is.
Recovery upsets the homeostasis, the delicate balance of nature. Some of us would just as soon be in denial and in our comfort zone. And, we can t stay there forever. Evolution and growth are difficult territories to navigate. Probably not for the faint of heart.
