This Little Dream

       ‘Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?’ – Juvenal

       We are at a threshold of unprecedented magnitude. We are facing challenges greater than any that have come before. We are neither prepared, nor willing to act.

       I am adamant in my belief that the irony is readily obvious to each and every one of us. Time and again, I have wondered why we cling to this hollow projection of what we perceive as a readiness to make momentous decisions. We consider, evaluate, plan, postpone…and fail to act. Often, even on our own behalf. We are the only real guardians of who we are and we have left the guarding to others.

       We delegate our duties, we avoid our responsibilities.  Thus we void our right to dispute injustice. Perhaps we all deserve better than our lot – but we must earn it. We are none of us entitled to anything in our world. And there is far more to be achieved than one might think…

       But this is a dream, my dear, vociferous readers. Granted, it is a dream we could perhaps one day see unfold before our eyes. Yet, a dream none the less. And though it holds a great promise, it also gives us a warning – we must wake up, if we are ever to dream this little dream.

       There are no winners and losers in the greatest of games. Only those who see and those who don’t.
