How does one eat an elephant?


 by Angela K. Durden

The old joke goes like this: How does one eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

But to do that, first one must kill the elephant because the elephant would have to be stupid to allow itself to be eaten bite by bite while it is still alive. Therefore, killing the elephant is where the challenge lies.

A lion is basically lazy. It will always go after the weakest of any herd. The young, the frail, the sick, slow, and aged.

But in this we are talking about animals and animals are very clear as to their roles. Hunter and hunted. Predator and prey.

Humans fit into the same two categories but the Good of them often ignore that knowledge. Next thing one knows comes the hard, fast rise of Evil because Good believes in the promising smile of the roaring lion that seeks to devour it.

However, one thing we know is this: Predators are always outnumbered by prey. While predators rip and tear, they always rip and tear at the weakest. The core of the herd may run for a bit, but it is never scattered. The strongest of them entrench, encircle the herd, and face outward toward the predators. Just their mere standing firm with horns out and feet firmly planted makes the predators slink away to wait for another opportunity to attack the weakest.

Predators always stand alone in the long run. Like the lion, they are lazy. Sure, they may work together for awhile, but they do not have the strong bonds of a herd. Never have. Never will. This is the weakness that keeps them in the minority.

Evil may roar, but has no long-term power. It cannot work together for long as its interests are always self-centered and selfish.

The battle is not over. It is never over.

The sky is not falling, y'all.

Garlic: Good for what ails ya.

I was just at a large meeting yesterday morning with about 200 people. Nobody was shaking hands. They were bumping elbows, instead, and saying, "Don't want to catch...errrr...spread anything."

However, they were busy handing out food, paper materials, banners, and business cards, and sharing pens and microphones. Folks were hugging (hands everywhere) and getting in real close for photo ops.

See? Stupid.
C. S. Lewis reminded folks who panic that they should not exaggerate the novelty of their situation. Panic helps no one. Panic changes nothing.

Look. The sky is not falling, y'all. When it falls, you won't have time to go out and buy toilet paper. If you've got time to buy toilet paper, then you'll be fine.

Okay, okay, okay. Maybe you will die, but so what? You're going to die anyway at some time. Nobody lives forever. But, sheesh, stop it with the f***ing panic.

Coronavirus is a real thing. But the #CrunkNewsNetworks and certain politicians are using it as a way to disrupt your life and grab control over it. Do not be mistaken on this. If you are panicking, then you are the prey.

Do you want to be the prey? Then keep on with the panic response.

Otherwise, wash your damn hands.
Stay home if you're sick.
But stop it with the overreacting.
