As the man prays..he may be questioning his decision to make that left turn thus having to depend on the direction of strangers.
The familiar is always seemingly comfortable.
There must be many philosophers and others who examine the hows and whys of living that justify what they do with what they are told. They must wonder why folks justify conflict with day to day pettiness and damage or take life. They wonder and become frustrated by war..and the violence found in history.
Having done this myself..having theorized and tried to find a reason for conflict..I saw what many others must have seen..what many may in fact have found and postulated as the justification for mankinds intolerance of his brethern.
There are a whole gaggle of deep thinkers that feel conflict is necessary for discovery. I have said 'conflict leads to discovery..discovery should never lead to conflict'. There are those who do not see discovery without conflict as possible. They feel that innately mankind needs to be 'tough' through conflict..ready through conflict..to survive the nature of the continuum..of the universe. If that understanding is there..why stop? Is it more comfortable? Is it easier? Obviously for those who, in conflict die, are made sick, refugeed, orphaned, widowed and broken in dream and spirit..those who have starved or died of thirst..for those made insane in bitterness or the deluded dreams of a madman..passed to them from that madman who hopes for riches and fame..for the unfortunate used..it is not comfortable.
The man who lost himself in an American city..is transporting what appears to be topsoil. His job requires him to deliver it to what is probably a devolopement with planters. The folks who live by those planters want trees and flowers. Their children go to school..to learn how to build their own lives.
Civilized behavior is the plan and procedure for mankind. Most every person..if asked what they would wish for if granted three wishes would say 'peace on earth' first..the man in the photo has faith..a true faith can be tested..it cannot be broken. Why then do people not act as they believe? I do not think it is harder..I think it would be much easier for all.
Mammonism is not a true faith..it is but a game..a tool..as with any other tool..only as good and effective as those who use it..
So I say..as it has been said..in the time of words and speaking..CONFLICT..NO!
Peace Tony
