Before We Die


For Many Of Us...


One Of Our Last Rational Thoughts That We Have...

Before We Die

And Cross Over

[Victorious?]

The Finish Line From This Life Into The Next...


Is To Dare To Look Back Over The Course Of Our LIFE...

The "RACE" That We Had Just Run...


Complete With Whatever Kind Of

Discipline We Employed,

Strength We Exercised

And Heart That We Exerted...


And We Look Deep, Deep Inside

And Ask Ourselves...


[In A Voice With Quiet Intensity]


"Could WE Have Done Qualitatively Better?"

"Could WE Have Given More?"

"Did WE Give It ALL away?"


AS WE RAN WITH THOSE WHO RAN WITH US...



[That We Said We Loved]



"Did My Great Commitments In Life

Spur My COMPANIONS

To GREATNESS In Their Life?"


Perhaps... We Are Secretly TERRIFIED


[That Maybe, Just Maybe]


That During The Course Of OUR Life

Our MOST Faithful and Closest COMPANION Was



The Specter Named: "MEDIOCRITY"


Who Was Mantled Around Us The Entire Time...

Why Neither Hyper-Capitalism and Socialism Will Work





Fundamentally...
When It Comes To

Hyper-Capitalism and Economic Social Progressivism [Socialism]EACH fails to work for the same sort of reason…

Hyper-Capitalism fails because the individual,
as a matter of personal principle

works hard only for themselves; and
Socialism fails because individuals,

as a matter of personal principle,
will not work hard for the other.

Selfishness and Pride
will not be easily filtered

by ANY economic and/or political theory.
