60 days on! (Good Friday, 2021)
Scribbled out upon Wednesday the 18th of November last, after a rather fraught 'holiday' (immediately post-American presidential election 2020) that was anything but...
So I ask again, why this seemingly all-consuming passion of and by Christians - right across the ideological and political spectrum (albeit primarily in Western nations) - to become consumed by/get involved in and remain thereafter inextricably engrossed in the politics of their lands?
Methinks two primary reasons (at least upon brainstorming the topic November last - now they strike me as rather feebler than first thought):
*Western man's (and woman's!) increasing feeling of powerlessness and inability to control things in a day and age of ever-increasing and all-pervading media saturation and permeation of of each of our lives...
...whilst in said process we - vicariously, via our TV screens and computer screens - enter more and more into the woes and weals, the mishaps and miseries, frustrations and sheer undiluted confusion and all the rest, of peoples around the world, not just 'here at home' (and in our own lands), but increasingly all over Planet Earth...
...and, "Darn it!", we feel we simply cannot do a thing, "Damn it", to help out in any tangible way or make any appreciable difference thereto...
*The unconscious need to find a(ny) possible distraction from our own ever-increasing and seemingly intractable problems and issues of our own ever more complex and complicated and oh so fraught lives...
To be continued...
