How Do We Handle Ourselves

I have been struggling with this for sometime now. How do we react to all of this craziness and evil going on around us. Do we openly resist? Do we not comply? Do we protest? Do we get in the game and openly participate? Do we choose sides? Do we try to change hearts and minds? Do we bury our heads in the sand?

No easy questions or answers here, but this excellent article might be a good guide to follow. It hit home with me and made perfect sense. https://www.oftwominds.com/blogaug23/compliance-resistance8-23.html?fbclid=IwAR2g3CGSPMqgDvpEqKynKEGSpiNU7wZWrz80QUCfUVkUv7eaIELa8Vevn8w

Open resistance makes little sense, indeed:

When it comes to compliance, most people have been conditioned to do it. Up to 98 percent of crimes, for instance, are "solved," because people "confess" (it's reasonable to include the force of plea bargaining in the figures). Besides grooming children to become conformists at schools, the system has several tentacles:

Here is where everyone draws a line, whether they want to or not. Everybody has their limits. For example, here are mine:

This is a Universe of Force. Physical, Mental and Spiritual. Choose your own paths, But I will Not Turn the Cheek, nor be Feed for Lions.

Employing Force requires a High Level of Responsibility. To Deny your own application of force and defense is an abdication of responsibility, imo.

Conduct Yourselves Accordingly
