The Sheep

Rambling walks writing thoughts

Are you in charge?

The sheep doesn’t usually think they are sheep. They see themselves as the main character when in reality they are not even side characters, all they are is a background character ( an NPC).

While quite useful to others and their machinations they fail to see their true potential their true power. They fail to see that they are in charge of themselves. They willingly give it away to things that they follow blind-fully and without question. They fear being wrong and must be right because they are a righteous person.

Beware the righteous for they will not see what is there before their eyes. Righteous means that you believe you are right beyond question. This is a dangerous place to be. The wise understand that it’s possible to be wrong and knowing that possibility grounds them.

Now you are saying that is not the definition of righteous and I say to thee it is the basic definition there of. Where in absolute belief we leave no opening for being wrong. The righteous will make sure they are right. That they are in the right even if they are in the wrong.

On that note beware those that know they are wrong but still move forward in the narrative that they are right. For these are even more dangerous than the righteous. For knowing that one is wrong but still pushing forward with that belief makes this person an agent of chaos.

Both of these even if confronted with a truth will not believe. They will stick with what they know for they are righteous. Even given the greatest of proof they will not be convinced and label you a deceiver. For they seek no reality other than their own. They seek no real truth no real knowledge they just label themselves as such and that’s good enough for them.

Now beware of the deceiver for they work in chaos. They know the falsities and work to spread them. They most likely have never even believed but see an opening and slither in to further their own agenda. They understand the sheep are looking for a Shepard and gladly place themselves above them.

You will know them because they care not for their sheep. Oh they will make believe that they do but in truth all they want is what they want. They will use these sheep to accomplish what ever they seek to accomplish. Their actions will show who they are for it’s hard to hide the wolf.

Always question, always seek knowledge, always seek truth. Beware of those that tell you not to question instead of answering the query. Do not fall into questioning things for the sake of questioning them. Make your quest of knowledge be to learn to be enlightened. Because seeking to destroy belief for the sake of destroying it is just as toxic.

Don’t be fooled the truth is a weapon in the arsenal of chaos. Just as the lie is the sweetness of its arrow both can destroy both can break one’s spirit. Beware those that know this and especially those that do so in ignorances bliss.

These same people will come to you with thine own knowledge thine own sense of good. They will twist it so they can bring you with them into the chaos. Know your belief know why you stand for and what you stand for. For they will seek a way to use your own belief against you. Good can be used for bad, again their actions will reveal their deceptions. Yet you have to be aware and looking instead of sleep. Do not allow them to overwhelm you for it is another tool they use.

Beware of falling in the trap of doing bad things for good outcomes. As much as bad can be done for good, good can be done for bad. And both can come in sweet wrapped coverings. All to fool and to make you be an agent of chaos.

Always ask does this help or does this hurt. Does this heal or does this destroy. Does this allow bad things to continue or does this bring creation and happiness. You are in charge of yourself accept that power and use it wisely.

    I don’t think these are questions people ask themselves or at least enough people, does it heal or does it destroy ?!
