Trapper Trapped!

Oneness is not a supreme being but the way events play off one another from which we may deduce certain principles being as their basis. This consistency arises for the very nature of matter. Matter at its ‘least irreducible part’ keep its abstract aspect as true opposite. These two form as one. (Thus it is not the question ‘which came first: chicken or egg?’ but that one- cannot- be- taken- without- the- other situation.) What would that mean? You take away the freedom of another at your own peril.
A gaoler is a prisoner of sorts.
The spirit in which the settlers celebrated the first thanksgiving with the native Americans was more in keeping with the fervor of the ‘latter- day spiritual Israelites’ entering a new Canaan. The symbols and the metaphor would have sounded right if the growing nation had been just. In their lack of consideration for the natives and their culture they brought themselves the present situation. Their Thanksgiving Day has become, in the many commissions and omissions, debased into a mere commercial farce just as Christmas that is just around the corner.
Tailpiece: By the way do you think the lie about Santa Claus is allowed as part of tradition to make the children learn the spirit of giving? In the keeping of the spirit of a saint who supposedly sought out the waifs and other unfortunates on a joyous occasion as the birth of Jesus? Or is it encouraged to drum up sales for the traders?
