“ADVERSITY IS THE FIRST PATH TO TRUTH” — LORD BYRON
Gauging where exactly we are and where we stand under our shared adversity
I felt a need to try and write something inspiring, that was my goal, for all the trials we as a community of democracy-lovers have been under stressors for many years now. It occurred to me that on the whole we probably have faired rather well through the adversity that a madman and his cult followers have clubbed us incessantly. In fact we probably are much wiser, stronger and indued with even greater empathy from our trials of fire. So that was my aim within this verse and posting. One expects inspiration from those commonly acknowledged as great people, and for this author I can claim only so much of this description. But regardless here is my verse:
I searched X with the use of the word “adversity” to see what might come up. I must say that no one appears to be considering our times defending our democracy as facing adversity. But I doubt I’m wrong in stating this presumption. There seemed to be some good posts appearing under adversity, please look and see if you agree.
Thanks for reading, and bearing with me on this minor endeavor.
