Kurt Vonnegut Jr. an Earthling author, is a folk hero among the
Falloonians, having spent some time on our planet during your country’s
turbulent times of the 1960s. So, today allow me to include a quote in his
memory and hope that it strikes a harmonic set of two or more notes that is
heard as if sounding simultaneously in you. (Editor’s note: he means “chord.”)
For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the
Beatitudes. But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten
Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course that’s Moses, not
Jesus. I haven’t heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the
Beatitudes, be posted anywhere.
True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country. - KV |
"Blessed are the
merciful" in a courtroom? "Blessed are the peacemakers" in the
Pentagon? Give me a break!
- Kurt Vonnegut, Jr
May the peace and tranquility of the Galaxy shine upon you
today.
