Multitudes
I saw a glimpse of my dream today.



Anyway, something in the sermon hit me today.
Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region
[Matthew 8:34]

He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.
[Mark 3:5-6]

And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebub! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons."
[Mark 3:22]

Well, people always thought you would only be scolded and punish if you were caught doing the wrong things. Breaking law, disobeying etc. Then again, the above passages show that you will get insulted, ostracized even conspired against when you do the right thing! You know what the world wants? It wants people to be reduced to The undefined norm: one that is unspoken yet generally agreed to be the standard mode of operation for everyone. Anything out of the ordinary is considered incorrect and must be kept in control by the remainding majority. To excel is to face opposition. To rise above the rest is considered quirkyness. To be different is asking to be standing out.. alone. Movement is only allowed to be made in "unity".
Then, I guess then you and the world can continue to descend into hell "together".

For those that desire to be safe from opposition, listen to my advice. I found the nugget of wisdom to avoid opposition. Since to do good is to get dragged down to the same standard, while doing bad asking for chiding from the authorities, the answer to all these is to... DO NOTHING. No one can then point a finger or critisize you. After all, its not worth the effort lifting the finger. By then even a donkey can be more useful then you.

But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey--a beast without speech--who spoke with a man's voice and restrained the prophet's madness.
[2 Peter 2:16]
