CHAOS

(02,20,2020) Chaos is a sense or state of complete disorder or confusion. There are many interpretations for the word ‘chaos’ in both Greek and Norse mythology. In most past and many present cultures, ‘chaos’ is seen as a concept while others characterize ‘chaos’ as an entity. But, the one thing that all can agree on, is what it represents. Chaos is an unruly, undisciplined state of being. In most religions, theologians claim that ‘chaos’, or ‘the darkness’, had existed before all else. That is before God brought order and light to the world. Without the shining light, we would be cast, once more, into darkness, confusion and despair. According to myth, or legend, and most holy scriptures, the lord of the underworld uses ‘chaos’ and its associate ‘fear’, to subjugate, divide and control as many souls as possible. In this manner, ‘chaos’ is fighting a constant battle against ‘the light’. It can be argued that many troubled souls, incarcerated, or otherwise, are living their lives in a state of confusion, their minds in constant turmoil or a state of chaos. Cut off from ‘the light’, their existence is agony itself. It is no small wonder that some lash out while others simply choose to end it all! A soul can be brought to the depths of despair, void of any light. It is this end, the destruction of the soul, for which ‘chaos’ strives. One’s psyche is extremely fragile. There must be a balance between one’s conscious and unconscious mind. If one becomes trapped in the darkness of the unconscious mind, where there exists a constant state of confusion, one becomes unbalanced. Morals and principles of any kind can become unhinged. The ability to determine right from wrong becomes murky. I feel that it is imperative to point this out because I fear that we have entered a world of chaos! What is more important, I see that fear in the eyes of our children. I hear it in their questions and my heart mourns for their troubled souls. Their innocent minds cannot comprehend why there is so much hatred, distrust and suffering in the world. Why is the current president of the United States doing all he can to sow the seeds of strife and confusion? The P.O.T.U.S. is on record as stating that he loves chaos! In fact, he thrives on it! Everyone who has worked for him, will tell you that the White House is in a constant state of chaos. His administration lives in fear of what he is likely to do next. And yet, they are so deftly manipulated by the president that they dare not defy him. This is how the president works! It is how he has always done things. He uses chaos as a tool to control his administration and to make policy, as well as ‘deals’ with autocrats of other nations. It has become painfully obvious that the P.O.T.U.S. lacks a conscience. He has become unhinged and given himself, wholly and freely, to the darkness! He has embraced ‘chaos’ or actually embodies the entity Chaos itself! There is no other despot, tyrant, authoritarian or dictator, in the world, who has done more to divide his people and destroy their constitution for his own benefit, and bring about the destruction of so many lives, simply for the good of himself, than the P.O.T.U.S. !!
