Low Living Costs More

02-11-13 Low Living Costs More. 

James and Lavern Robinson had a saying on Facebook the other day that is designed to set you to thinking. We live in times that demand wisdom prior to acting. Moderation is the in word for Jesus and His work, but to be a zealot in our loyalty to sports and all things temporal. The Robinson’s statement is taken from the pen of Thomas Paine, a patriotic joy and religious pain.

Consider This: "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a good virtue; but, moderation in principle is always a vice."  Thomas Paine, The Rights of Man.

 Moderation in principle…

It is a well worn axiom that truth in moderation is the death knell of trust relationships. Take the principle of romantic ties which are rooted in trust of the other. To be moderately truthful leads to serious deterioration of the trust, and thus the relationship becomes something else, and among the sensible does not survive, save for the revival of trust. Trust and truth ride together.

Solomon stated in Proverbs 23:23, “Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.”

We are taught by wise teachers that truth, wisdom, along with teaching and understanding, come at a price, and thus are as precious as the cost. While it is true that standing for truth may be costly, the price of watered down truth is much higher.

The NAZI Minister of Propaganda demonstrated the effectiveness of truth moderation, including some truth with the falsehoods. To be effective a lie must be accepted as true. If it is all lie it stands less chance of being accepted.

By using truth in moderation, our own Grima Wormtongue "press" are so effective they still have most people calling them News, Reporters, etc. Then, just like Grima wispering in the ear of King Theoden, we are played like puppets on strings.

This allows the real government, who call themselves The Fourth Estate, though there are no first three estates, to go far beyond the fourth branch of government they wanted to be, and call the shots on everything.

And when they governing they do from the shadows produced disaster, we take it out on the front men they conned us into electing, so they never have to take responsibility for their actions.

The best part is the laws that regulate their decoys in "government" don't apply to them. They not only don't have to acquire the consent of the governed by the test of an election, and all the public inspection that would entail, there are no restrictions on criminal background, age, mental health or even nationality.

Truth in moderation causes us to drop our guard and allow them access to our backs. There they can shove their shiv in deep.

And we never wise up. We are conned out of everything, over and over, by the same people., And when we get mad, we take it out on the decoys they conned us into electing with their 24/7 political campaign, called News.
