Pre-election Feels
2 Nov 2020 16:32I'm a bit down right now...I do expect Biden to win (a very good thing), after much worthless difficulties caused by Jabba the Orange...
But I don't think this election is the end. The current situation reminds me of the book I read called the Last Pagan Generation -- I posted about it here -- https://karmicdragonfly.dreamwidth.org/980938.html
The idea behind the book is that the last generation of Pagans and Christians before paganism was outlawed in the eastern empire -- that that generation NEVER realized that the reality they presumed would last forever was about to end. The older generation at the time just assumed that paganism and Christianity would co-exist because why not?
I feel like **I** am that generation now, as if that the reality that I assume will last forever is about to end. I notice in my previous post that I was already equating 'the last pagan generation' with the 'last generation of the old US republic', and I'm still thinking that way.
