"The WILL to BELIEVE"

                                                           I have yet to formulate a suitable definition for "Will" .   It's obvious that >Will< is also a guarantor of Effort, and when I suggest that it requires Effort to actualize Effort from where does this Energy reside besides in the location of Interest ?    /Will\ must be considered Instinctual, because of the "Will to Live" via the Instinct of Self-Preservation .   I still consider this THIS clumsy if not flat-out Awkward .   

                           We can ascribe the Force of Nature to Will, but there is scant comfort in that .   I'm hard-pressed to qualify Effort as a "Force of Nature" but it's there with all the rest of Cosmic Forces .   Unsettling, like, or sure .   

                             I turned to my HERO Dr. William James and his volume, THE WILL TO BELIEVE and other essays in popular philosophy in the hope of finding just one key sentence, but I put very little Effort in my search and found what is below to place in its stead :

                                    "Does not the recital of such a fight obstinately waged against such odds fill us with resolution against OUR petty powers of darkness, ---machine politicians, spoilsmen and the rest ?   Life is worth living, no matter what it bring, if only such combats may be carried to successful terminations and one's heel set on the tyrants throat ."

                                    I LOVE this.

                                     This is me .

Miss Ogyny

                                                           It's been reported that trump is (get this) BORED with his War .   Shit, HOW CAN THIS BE ?????   We know that >Interest< begets Effort, if we are Interested in a 'something' we exert Energy to satisfy that Interest, meaning, we expend energy to achieve a `desired` 'result' .    I hazard to write that MOST of us know what it's like to be Interested in a chick, broad, dame or gal {{[how fucking GREAT is my Misogyny ???}}}  .   ALL of us have stories about the HOURS and DAYS of ANGUISH that we spent just to get a LOOK from an Desired Other, let alone a greeting and god forbid SMILE .   Oh the Pain, Oh the SUFFERING .   And what about >>>Unrequited Love<<< ???   It's Pain and TORTURE .   Human Nature ------- go figure .

                         So we have a potus who is BORED and a Nation in CATATONIC FRENZY , meaning, a Nation that wants Peace NOW but WON'T Protest en masse on a DAILY BASIS which is what the Citizens did in Hungary .   Logic dictates =  No Effort NO Results .   It takes Effort to summon Effort ---god how THAT just fucking SUCKS .

Not one but TWO "F" 's in EFFORT

                                                            Some would use the "At Least" Defense, which looks like, "At least they know where they live, meaning they CAN recognize the United States on a map although I hesitate to include -globe .   

                            I was working an Age-Group softball game, Girls between the ages of 10 to twelve,  it was a comfortable day but the girls headed toward their positions with mope and draaag,  the game wuz-gonna take HOURS at their pace so I called out GIRLS  MOVE TO YOUR POSITIONS WITH ALACRITY !..  Their  response  was  instantaneous   'WHAT IS ALACRITY ???'    I yelled  ENTHUSIASM .    They giggled .

                          Between games I asked a few of their Moms about their daughters lack of >>>Enthusiasm<<<  One Mom said that they would rather being doing something else, another confessed,  "I just want them out of the house DOING something" .   Another chirped, "This is better than watching TV" .    I shook my head {are you fucking kidding me (?) .

                          Learning requires EFFORT ---that's why Report Cards have EFFORT alongside Grade, clearly one's Grade is partially determined by the amount of EFFORT that  one expends .  Here's where "I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THIS SUBJECT, becomes a Foundation for Future FAILURE .   Whim and Fancy are ANATHEMA to Education .

"...expert inability..."

                                                           Americans don't know where Belgium is [located] .   It's the joke "Heard 'round the world" .   This 'fact' was presented as humorous, I find it both Sickening and Humiliating .   I should have figured as much .   Years ago "IT" got out that COLLEGE kids couldn't find NORTH AMERICA on either a map or globe .   "Pathetic" gets us close .   Are Americans inherently stupid (?) or could it be that the American Education System has failed ?   2 words : BOTH .

                         As a Social Commentator it is fucking embarrassing to be a Citizen in a Country that has pigeon holes for eyes .  This "IT" is partial explanation of WHY Americans voted for trump, the expert inability to recognize  and SMELL >>>BULLSHIT<<< .   On another Level Americans know ONLY America and knowing the locations of other continents is just WAAAAAAY too much fucking trouble, rather WAAAAAY too much fucking Effort .   This time >Pathetic< doesn't even approach the resident condition .   The Psychological term is //Ego-Centricity\\ , the view that the Planets circle around Earth, that "I" am the CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE .   Here it is where "WHAT THE FUCK" is utterly useless to express PRIMAL Exasperation .  

                         I gotta ask, What the Fuck transcends What The Fuck ?   

Saving Grace and Saving Face

                                                           I thought I could escape any mention of Hezbollah and netanyahu, I cannot .   "IT" seems to me that there is an Evil Triumvirate afoot, meaning trump, putin and netanyahu on the so-called "World Stage".   Netanyahu has clearly INVADED Lebanon in order to exterminate Hezbollah, which has proven extremely costly when considering Loss of CIVILIAN Life and Jewish soldiery .   The term >Invasion< satisfies the bond or link that exists existentially ---  the desire for CONTROL of the World via Size --- ///Strength\\\  and Military MIGHT .   "IT" 's fucking UGLY and will be Forever when and if Forever finally arrives .   The thing is,, Saving Grace and Saving Face both putin and trump CANNOT STOP if they are to "Save Face", and netanyahu WON'T STOP because he's a fucking fanatic just as much as ANY Hezbollah zealot .   According to Confucius, "Water goes to what is wet, fire goes to what is dry" so we can extrapolate that CRAZY goes to CRAZY  and further, Cruelty goes to Cruelty .  Simple Physics and not much less .   

                             Weirdly, at least for me, Hezbollah is like Vatican City, a nation within a nation, to attack the Holy See is to attack Italy, =  to attack Hezbollah is to attack Lebanon {Thank You Captain Obvious} .   Netanyahu and his Right Wing Supremacists do NOT want the War to End , mainly because Hezbollah will continue its strikes, rendering Israel a Nation Under Siege .   2 words :   BRUTAL .

                              Here's a bite to chew,  swallow and choke on ,   america is considering REMOVING Israel from beneath its "Umbrella", meaning the IMMEDIATE Cessation of all Weapons Transfer to Israel, and trump is giving Ukraine >>>License<<< to manufacture the vaunted Patriot Missile System .   One is "a long time comin' ",  one is a SUPER "long time comin' " .   

                              Ya wanna believe we are "making progress" but the excruciating Reality is that Israel is "in the way" .   

                             Consider ... .

Eye Queue

                                                           Ya jus'-gotta appreciate the incredible inversions that have transpired, you know the ones, trump is putin, Ukraine is Iran .  OBVIOUSLY "IT" is as fucked-up as "IT" can get .   What we're viewing is the  SYMBOLISM  involved, the Symbolism that Polemics allows, though ruefully .   Technically, "IT"'s more Metaphor and Simile, Ukraine is LIKE Iran and blah, blah, fucking BLAH .  You get it, I know you do .   Thing is, we CAN'T IGNORE the "PATTERNS" .    Russia >like america< is   Suffering   because of fuel shortages and even foodstuffs not to mention ELECTRICAL FAILURES and BLACKOUTS .   The Peoples of america and Russia are fucking PISSED --- they are Suffering from a War NO ONE WANTED but will this Suffering result in Revolution or Reformation ???

                            There have been posts on Facebook showing the Misery in Russia, gas lines, queues, that e----x----t----e----n----d for MILES .   "IT" seems IMPOSSIBLE that the Peoples of Russia would "take it to the Streets" to express their MALCONTENT but clearly something is builDING .   Americans, on the other hand, still lack great ACTION, Protests have netted only 7 million folks and these Protests have been FEW in number, barely 61% of the population have expressed dissatisfaction, not enough, not anywhere NEAR enough, I mean shit, what's it gonna take for the remainder ???????

                         

Miss Calculation

                                                           The Saudis are among those trying to effect their own Solution to the Strait Jacket Problem that trump is wearing~~~  they have indicated a Willingness to conduct their own Diplomatic Talks with Iran .  Elsewhere I have argued that the WORLD must place its Attention on the War, as it did when HITLER was in Power ~~~~ that trump has enmeshed the entire PLANET in his Mental Machinations, and for the World continue to AVOID entering this CRISIS is a demonstration of GROSS miscalculation .   "IT"  >IS< 'Common Sense' to think that because trump broke "IT"  HE should be responsible for its Repair, but look at what as been the Result of THIS ~Common Sense~ =  abject FAILURE .   No--------- trump ain't-gonn do "IT", his Imbecility is fucking CHRONIC and worse, "IT" 's contagious .

                            After getting the Reports you wanna-figure that each nation effected by the Strait's <Closure< is supremely motivated to enter Diplomatic Talks with Iran, THAT too is "Common Sense" .   Here it is where I BELIEVE that trump must be {you guessed it} SHUNNED by the Global Heads who have taken the Posture they used to when putin annexed Crimea and INVADED Ukraine --- which many argue was a mere "slap on the wrist" .   Presently the World HAS "come around" especially the E.U. as IT has supplied Ukraine with BILLIONS in American ---> "Hardware" to assist Ukraine's War Effort .  They have CLEARLY >>>>>>>>>>PUT THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH IS and their Joint Efforts are Commendable and dare I say NOBLE .   

                             The E.U. has helped Ukraine TURN THE WAR AROUND , meaning, Ukraine is now considered as WINNING the War, in that MOSCOW can and IS "under fire" from Ukraine War Technologies, and these Interior Attacks now have russians BEGGING for an End .   Putin as been forced to withdraw anti-missile batteries from the Front Lines to Moscow itself .
