This observation from "Cato's Letter" (A Quarterly Message on Liberty, Summer 2020, Volume 18, Number 3) helped give me an enhanced perspective of my faith in our nation, as well as the endurance of our divinely inspired Constitution's creation of our "American Excellence":
"...Telling people that life is getting better is a counterintuitive idea. It often doesn't go down very well.
In fact, Cato senior fellow Johan Norberg once came across a piece of writing that said: 'We've never lived in such evil times. Our politicians have never been so corrupt and the social fabric has never been so decayed'.
Guess when that was written?
It was an inscription on a Chaldean piece of stone in a museum in Turkey and dated from 3800 B.C."
Just as an American colonial patriot Thomas Paine once despaired that "these are the times that try men's souls", so it goes here and now with us today.
Truly, our times now are scary, prompting many of us to cry out in despair, "O tempora! O mores!" (Oh, the times! Oh, the customs!),
Even so, we will prevail, and our anxious prayers are being heard in the Courts of Heaven.
Remember, and "Let not your heart be troubled..." (King James Bible, Book of John, Chapter 14, Verse 1), and always strive for principles over politics.
And, for sure and for certain, may God bless you all real good!🤗
