What Now

AvatarDiscipleofEshmun2 min to read

The gravity of the recent updates is just hitting me now. I appreciate clergy for everything that has been updated but I'm still confused on many topics. I don't understand why the Gods would allow people like High Priestess Pythia to teach us all that if it was false, allowing websites to be created and maintained, endless sermons and apparently directly teaching as she quoted them many times.

I also don't like the disrespect I'm seeing from current clergy towards her or other heroes of our past.

I appreciate everything being done, regardless of the above. Though I have to admit politics remains very relevant especially for those of us living in the west. I don't believe in hating anyone over their ethnicity but unfortunately the race topic will be very major for decades to come and I believe many even here are caught up in nations and situations where they can't escape it.

I'll just pull back a bit and focus on ritual schedules, the new meditations and spiritual information shared, and donations whenever I'm able to. Once I have processed everything new and I'm mentally in a better place I'll be able to be more active regularly on the forums. I hope everyone is enjoying the ritual schedule, it is a most beautiful one.

People are attached to the past for emotional reasons, but what good does it do for you now? Seriously? Explain what benefit you are gaining by cherishing these old ideas or people.

In my reply, I clearly showed that I'm not stuck in the past. I'm not bothered by the fact that we no longer cherish old figures. What raised concerns for me is the dishonest and spineless behavior of mocking and defaming someone whom has been a common denominator for decades.

It's one thing to stop engaging with these things; it's another to make remarks that suggest that they were irrelevant.

If someone who got cherished for decades gets defamed just after one update, that tells a lot about some members, just as the same way how fanatics who put some politicians before the Gods and decided to leave our Temple, most of the time while being hostile as well, tells about them.

Look, what I'm about to tell you isn't easy to say, but I think it's necessary. My father, who comes from a politically influential family, sat down with me one day and opened my eyes. Not with anger, but with a profound sadness, like someone finally letting go of a truth that has weighed heavily on them for years.

He confessed to me that, deep down, that world that seems so bright from the outside is utterly rotten. He told me that his uncles, cousins, and close associates have turned power into a dirty tool. They only use it for their own personal gain: rigged contracts, favors among themselves, absolute indifference toward the people they should be protecting.

"It's a lineage," he told me, "but I swear I abhor what they do with that name."

Not only that, the sad part is you can't really change it, like... from personal experience and from others that I know, you gotta have some nerves of steel, politics are like a magnet for ass kissers, narcissists and sociopaths, I don't know how but it always attract the most shitty people, I swear I wanted to strangle my colleagues so many times.... And if you're starting your own... good luck gaining popularity and always needing to verify for scumbags who want to infiltrate or use your own resources for their own gains, most good people quit really fast and while only the ghouls remain.
