Yes. There is that great line from that famous Pogo comic strip: "Yep son, we have met the enemy and he is us."
From the mouth of comic strip characters, comes the deepest insight & wisdom. It's that kind of Universe. We are constantly bumping up against the "Unreliable Narrators" in our midst. Lots of kerfluffle, hurly-burly, toil & trouble, bad blood, and deep in the bone ignnorance. Hard to find a breath of fresh air in the middle of all this madness.
We can try anyway. Yes. No doubt. Clarity. Silence. Discipline. Sticking with the Poets, the Singers, the Dancers, the Dreamers. Sure, they can let you down too. You may find that you, yourself, are your own greatest saboteuer & enemy. That's a useful insight. It's the way of the way. Damn the torpedoes.
