Wikipedia\u2019s Thucydides<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

He was Certainly Not Blind.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are We?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeremiah 35:14<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The command has been carried out that Jonadab son of Rechab gave to his descendants to drink no wine; and they drink none to this day, for they have obeyed their ancestor\u2019s command. But I myself have spoken to you persistently, and you have not obeyed me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke 11:28<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he said, \u2018Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it!\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words of Grace For Today<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God speaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some obey, others not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, some try to obey, and everyone fails. That\u2019s human nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From CBC Ideas: About 2,500 years ago, Thucydides travelled ancient Greece, gathering stories about a brutal war that plunged the ancient world into chaos. He set high standards for accuracy, objectivity and thoroughness in his reporting.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

His observations, so different compared to the \u2018histories\u2019 told as legends and myths, biased towards the speaker-author\u2019s loyalties, are worth hearing any time, and surely today as \u2018fake news\u2019 and \u2018spin\u2019 and destorying of so many people polarize the populous into camps deaf-to-the-heart to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First would be the horror that he saw every human would descend to preemptively commit murder and destruction against an \u2018enemy\u2019, even if it were a previously good neighbour or child or parent. When law is laid waste by corruption from within or out right destruction leaving all sense of security spinning in the wind for every person, then every person is easily capable of the worst atrocities. For 27.5 years the Peloponnesian War pitted not only Sparta and Athens against each other, but they drew every city-state into the fray. 27.5 years of horror and in the end the result was the destruction of every city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the result of humans \u2018not obeying\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the result of \u2018fake news\u2019 and polarized citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the result of little and big lies accepted and created by Courts as facts, for it corrupts all of society\u2019s trust in the law to maintain order, especially the trust of those who benefit from the corruption of the law by the Courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the result of every little lie told out of greed, avarice, covetousness, hatred, fear, and revenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where are today\u2019s Thucydides, tellers of accurate, objective, and thorough stories reporting real events, and us little people dedicated to truth at all costs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will we be today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truth seekers and tellers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spinners and corrupters of truth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blessed are those who God helps to find and to hold on to the truth, one day at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
