The actions or inactions of one solitary soul cannot bring the end of life, only the accumulation of the wrongs and injustices of a whole race, the human race. THE ACTIONS OR INACTIONS OF ONE SOLITARY SOUL CANNOT BRING THE END OF LIFE ONLY THE ACCUMULATION OF THE WRONGS AND INJUSTICES OF A WHOLE RACE THE HUMAN RACE
elow the surface of the waters of life, for just as the ocean can be deceiving on its surface, so can life. Time is like an ocean, but when one looks upon it, what often happens is that all one sees is the present reflected back in its surface, and the eyes are shielded from what lies below, focusing instead on the surface, which is so trivial compared to the abyss which supports it. When one only sees the surface reflected back, then history and its wisdom lose their meaning, and one sees not the past but only the present. What I mean is this: if you look to the past to justify your actions rather than to guide them, you will not see the truths contained therein, but only what your presuppositions already were before you looked, and your ignorance will be reinforced rather than repudiated. Wisdom is the ability to see the past separate from the present, but when one sees the destruction of humanity, he will see only me, his vision being shielded from the true cause of it all, history. NLY MORTALS COULD SEE BELOW THE SURFACE OF THE WATERS A LIFE FOR JUST AS THE OCEAN CAN BE DECEIVING ON ITS SURFACE SO CAN LIFE TIME IS LIKE AN OCEAN BUT WHEN ONE LOOKS UPON IT WHAT OFTEN HAPPENS IS THAT ALL ONE SEES IS THE PRESENT REFLECTED BACK IN ITS SURFACE AND THE EYES ARE SHIELDED FROM WHAT LIES BELOW FOCUSING INSTEAD ON THE SURFACE WHICH IS SO TRIVIAL COMPARED TO THE ABYSS WHICH SUPPORTS IT WHEN ONE ONLY SEES THE SURFACE REFLECTING BACK THEN HISTORY AND ITS WISDOM LOSE THEIR MEANING AND ONE SEES NOT THE PAST BUT ONLY THE PRESENT WHAT I MEAN IS THIS IF YOU LOOK TO THE PAST TO JUSTIFY YOUR ACTIONS RATHER THAN TO GUIDE THEM YOU WILL NOT SEE THE TRUTH CONTAINED THEREIN BUT ONLY WHAT YOUR PRESUPPOSITIONS ALREADY WERE BEFORE YOU LOOKED AND YOUR IGNORANCE WILL BE REINFORCED RATHER THAN REPUDIATED WISDOM IS THE ABILITY TO SEE THE PAST SEPARATE FROM THE PRESENT BUT WHEN ONE SEES THE DESTRUCTION OF HUMANITY HE WILL ONLY SEE ME HIS VISION BEING SHIELDED FROM THE TRUE SENSE OF IT ALL HISTORY
