Life is the test the soul must endure while here on earth. The test is whether or not one can endure the pains and challenges of life while still maintaining compassion and love for one another.

Many, in these days of Trump, have decided that the pain we are going through with a tyrant who stirs up the ugly in people must be embraced rather than rejected.

The reaction to the pain of COVID 19 has been to question individual freedom over the well being of the country and one’s fellow citizen.

We are failing the humanity test, and some embrace that failure as a victory as their mind cannot see beyond their warped definition of freedom.

Freedom is but a myth. The only free will we have is to choose by what shall we be bound.

And so many of you have chosen the path of the pathetic, the path of the malcontent, The path of destruction.
