Those that do not have, always blaming those that have. Vilifying them. Banding together with others to harass, insult, and rip at them with vile claws and mechanisms of deceit. There seems to be no amount of effort some people will not expend, no will power you will not apply, in the vilification of someone that has something you do not. If even 1/100th of that effort were spent accepting responsibility for your own situation and forging a future free from that peril... you would surely never know failure.
If a man does not have the wisdom to learn from the past and chart a way forward for himself and his family that ensures all that is necessary will be provided... then he is not a man at all. You may be able to redirect your shame into anger for a short time, but you will invariably pay the price for being so weak as to offload your burdens onto others. If shooting was as important to some of you as you now claim it to be, then who exactly is to blame for you being without right now
if not you?
Decades I've spent on forums such as these, watching people espouse freedom and individual responsibility, posturing at what an example they are of American values. If shooting is so important to you, as you claim, then why were you not flush with ammunition and components during the previous 3 years? Now, being without during a time when many are without, you want to come here and call people names and goad others to join your cause? The mob is fickle, and even if you succeed in bringing others to your cause and convince people that it was anything other than their own short-sightedness that caused their current predicament...
You are all toying with the deepest darkest weapon in the devils arsenal. The empty bottomless pit that awaits those of you that embrace the fallacy that your problems are all the making of someone else. Hollow shells of men are made in this fashion. Men void of obligation, filled with anger and bitterness, to be tortured all of their days at the delight of all the dark forces which consume men's souls.
Shame on you, to come here and belittle men who had the foresight to see what was to happen and devoted their resources to see their needs provided for. Nothing but darkness waits for you on the path you are on. Though you can free yourself of this, any time you choose. Shake the foolishness from your mind, stand upright and resolute in your individual capabilities, and set plans in motion right now. Take possession of your mind and your soul through a decision to blame no one for what you lack but yourself. Harden that resolve with all of your will and set to work to attain what you require.
If you understand nothing I've said, then I truly pity you... because no matter what befalls you, the blame will always lie elsewhere. You will never know happiness. You will be an empty shell of a man that never learned the mechanism to generate your sense of self worth. As such, your value to yourself and others will always be in question... truly leaving you open to attack from all of the darkest things. Take stock of yourself. Start by apologizing to
@cboom. Then apologize to yourself and vow to never let yourself down like that again. Become a MAN of men, or die having tried it. You may never hear an encouraging word from anyone else, but at least you could look yourself in the mirror. I'll be here, rooting for you, hoping you'll make better choices. I'll encourage you to keep to the light if you'll encourage me. If you want to rally men to a cause, let it be one that is sure to work goodness.
It's the best offer you'll get today
