Repose means in its root “to cause to rest”. It is re plus pausare, which is Latin for “to rest”.
If you think about it, repose is that state in which all possible neurological states are equidistant. All possibilities are open to you.
But when not resting, you have to make decisions. A decision is, in its root, a “cutting off”. You cut off all other pathways, which will forever remained closed to you.
Here is what I would suggest: at this moment, people need to pick a side. The Democrats, and the plutocrats and Communists (an historically common pairing, which is less ironic than it may seem, if you understand Communism) running them, have made a middle ground impossible. Either you make excuses for the destruction of our economy via Fascistic and counterproductive curtailments of our freedom or you don’t; either you rationalize self destructive, nihilistic riots or you don’t; either you sanction mass election fraud or you don’t; either you believe our country should have a border and that the job of our government is to protect the well being of the people here legally, first and foremost, or you don’t; either you rationalize the election as leader of the Free World a man who may literally be crapping himself and who needs daily long naps and still doesn’t know where he is half the time, or you don’t; either you welcome Trump’s negotiation successes in the Middle East or you don’t; either you ignore or rationalize the continual lying in our media, along with its continual efforts to gin up racial divisions and following violence, or you don’t.
Either you are a decent human being, or you are not.
Decisions need to be made. All of us should try and keep as many people in our orbit as long as as much as possible. But there come times in life–and this is one of them–where people have to pick sides. The sides, this time, are vastly, vastly more stark than they were even after 9/11, when it was far from clear who are true enemies were, and we have of course since come to find our worst enemies draw paychecks from the US government.
Make a decision. It is time.
