Turning Points, the Y factor
6/25/2003
Our lives are daily Ys, or turning points; some greater than others. Today was one of those for me. As the reader may or may not know, Buddha Bubba has been a publisher for some years of some really avant guard titles. He has given first time authors a break and published their work. One of those people has stabbed the Bubba through the heart and killed the publishing effort.
Yesterday was the last day of that business because of the end of a 4 years court battle which the Bubba lost, because he trusted those around him.
Let's just go on from there and ask the question, what happens when those who are the Good guys keep losing battles to the Bad guys?
We go on. We keep open the thought that this was a singular event in the spin of the planet; that people are really good at heart and that bad things will not come from doing good. I have been killed before and risen to higher effort for good, and I will not stop now. The bad guys eventually get theirs, even for those of us who not believe in Heaven and Hell.
The Y factor must not turn you to the Dark Side, for though lesser homo-sapiens prevail. Do not be diverted from the path of good by the easy path of revenge or pay-back.
