Legacy and Tradition

Deconstruct the following phrase: “Humanity’s legacy is to abandon old knowledge.”

Question: is not “humanity's legacy” something that we are leaving to future generations? Is it not what will be said of us? So is not “humanity's legacy” old knowledge? Or: wisdom? So, if we abandon the things of old, are we not abandoning the wisdom our fathers taught us? And in abandoning our fathers' wisdom, are we not teaching our children to abandon the lessons we’ve learned so that they do not have to make the same mistakes we did?

I am an old man. And hard lesson I learned was this: when I abandon something or somebody, I do not leave them behind, they take a piece of me with them. And I am less for it.

The only abandonment that works is when we abandon the things that take us away from God. Total abandonment to wisdom is the only way we can leave a legacy that will last.

So the phrase: “humanity's legacy is to abandon old knowledge” is one of the most evil lies Satan has bequeathed to us. Abandoning old knowledge is dishonoring your mother and your father, and it is the very first Commandment that God promises blessings for us if we honor them. Our legacy is our traditions. They have built our civilization to what it was. And they will restore our civilization to greatness if we follow them again.

Chibi Girls

Dearest Elena Marie and Isabel,

This Christmas I got you these cute, little chibi headbands for my cute, little chibi girls: one a hobbit, one kermitessa the frog. And I stop, and think, how much my dear, little girls have grown, and how these few moments are fleeting: one moment you were babies, the next you are grown, young women ready to go out into the world and conquer it.

But you will always have a special place in my heart. My love for you will never dim nor die, but it will be a fierce, protective love of my cute, little chibi girls, and I will always be here for you, your ever-lovin' dad.

Love (ever),

Dad
