The burn
It was one of those nights when Filly was having weird dreams. This particular dream was about how Tater wanted to light a fire and burn down some furniture. Filly could not remember what piece of furniture it was that Tater wanted to burn, other than she was excited about burning something down.
In the dream, Filly tried to explain that Fire was like Passion. It could be good to have passion, but it had to be monitored, and have a good outcome and NOT be destructive. One should not randomly have GREAT BIG FIRE just because it seemed exciting, any more than one should express random rage or passion, without good reason.
Filly showed Tater how to build and have a little campfire, in the dream, so that it could bring warmth, give light, and cook the hotdogs and Marshmallows for S’mores. In such a case, that amount of passion for fire, was appropriate, and positive and was able to have a good outcome.
Filly explained to tater in the dream how sometimes people THINK they have passion for something but it is out of proportion to reality because it is based in wrong information. Filly knew of such people and yet those people, unlike Tater, seemed to be impossible to talk to. Those individuals who had given them wrong information, had been able to ingratiate themselves, over time when their “victim” was isolated and unhappy with something about their life and felt distanced from their normal friends or their family.
To herself, based on what she had learned about a close family member, Filly felt like the trans lifestyle was one of those things that people were fiercely passion about, but they had been “sold” that belief, based on complete lies. She felt like Climate change also had been sold to people based on complete lies…now obvious because of the Criminal Tesla destruction (a climate friendly vehicle) by people who had once claimed to be passionate about climate change. Did they recognize their hypocrisy? Filly felt like BLM was another thing that had been marketed based on nothing but lies.
To explain to Tater, why people had to question what they were being told, instead of swallowing it hook like and sinker, Filly explained to Tater that people were like words. If people were words, they were all very similar because they were all made up like letters. And in many cases even the letters could be very similar. But did that mean that they were all the same and should have equal things and be put equally in any sentence?
Think of the following words, Filly said to Tater, such as Constitution, or Restitution, or Destitution, or Prostitution, or Institution or Substitution.
Those words seemed similar and they all had letters. Some could argue that these words should all be treated and used the same.
But imagine if a person wanted to write something about the founding fathers, and was forced to use the word Destitution or Prostitution instead of the word Constitution (to be fair and equal to all words lol). What a cluster that would be.
Because each word had a specific purpose and meaning for use within a specific environment or situation for which it was created it was completely unique. No other word was exactly like that word. There were similar words, perhaps that could be substituted, but to say all the words that had the same number of letters should be considered, as in the argument for diversity, would be a mistake. Words are all important and all provide communication, but all words are very different FOR GOOD REASON…in order to fulfill a specific role in a sentence.
Filly thought about the fire dream again and realized that Tater had been “marketed” the idea that grey wolves were treated badly and needed protecting, which she felt compelled to do personally. Interestingly, she had never actually been around a grey wolf, and did not know how dangerous they could be to a small child. Her view was formed by a club she had at school with her best friend Gabby, and it was the wolf club.
She also did not know that wolves lived in the wild and had a unique and specific purpose not related to anything that children should be involved in. Children naturally are interested in animals which are small, fuzzy and colorful. But they are not responsible for these animals…nor should they fear for the welfare of these animals because of the marketing of manipulative adults. Filly explained to Tater that she did not need to worry about wolves because they lived in the wild and God cared for them the right way. She also said that even if Wolves did go extinct, then it might be the right thing to happen because she reasoned that if Dinosaurs had not gone extinct, then humans would probably not be here. She pointed out that God let some things go extinct on purpose.
She thought about the stamps she had just bought. She thought about how kids swallowed “bogus” stories without question because they trusted adults. The “lures” stamps were colorful and attention getting, things kids would love to grab, but would be hurt in the process. Then there was the medical stamp, that said Thank you, and the Y was a hook as well.
For many who purchased or used drugs, they felt grateful for the medication, but in so many cases, the main profits went to big pharma, and the consumers became addicted. The big Medical stamp of Thank You with a hook, seemed to be saying thank you for getting sick, because that is how they hook people. YIKES.
Hello Restitution. You are a unique word.
Latin restitutionem (nominative restitutio) “a restoring,”
Hello Constitution, you are a unique word.
Latin constitutio include constitution, order, regulating, settlement and settled condition.
Hello Destitution, you are a unique word.Latin destitutionem (nominative destitutio) “a forsaking, deserting,” from destitutus
Hello Prostitution, you are a unique word.Latin prostituta “prostitute,” fem. of prostitutus “exposed publicly”
Hello Institution you are a unique word. Latin institutionem (nominative institutio) “a disposition, arrangement; instruction, education,”
Just imagine feeling guilty for the word Destitution, because it is not used in sentences as much as the word Institution.
Imagine trying to argue that Prostitution is equal in a sentence to Restitution. That could lead to some interesting debates. Woke yet? lol.
But in the end, people, like words, are unique for a reason and should not be expected to live identical lives.
And regarding fires, passion should not be ignited about bogus dilemmas, to ingratiate children with those who would do them harm. The protection of children, is the responsibility of the parents, who have received the gift of children along with the role of guiding and uplifting them. That role includes telling them the truth, which is something the Woke media, DEI, Black Lives Matter, Movies and Games, and Transgender promotors, have INTENTIONALLY failed to do.
Filly gathered up Tater and her little brother Mister in her arms for hugs and was grateful that she had the closeness of relationship she needed to be able to talk to these two without alienating them. She knew they were bombarded with fake media all the time and she was careful to listen and help them navigate the world while still respecting the reason for their opinions and also still helping them re-evaluate.
She prayed everyday that those who had been shut out from God, would get divine inspiration and be able to see the light as well…even when they felt buried in a sea of darkness. And Burning down the house, even in a dream or burning up a Tesla, was not the answer and simply would no longer be tolerated.
