The title on my website reads The Thoughts of Microdack.
My videos are just reflections of my thoughts.
I'm never correct about anything, and the idea of the videos is simply to stimulate thoughts.
To have you, the viewer, think about offering your own insight in what I said.
In other words, to just have fun with my videos.
Not being a man of letters, of course, I'm not an expert on anything.
Today it is my reflection on current events.
But, just so that we are on the same page, it is fiction based on facts.
Fiction based on facts.
Imagine a very cold night, and on the sidewalk is a man without shoes, without socks.
A good Samaritan assesses the situation.
This seemingly homeless man could use some socks and boots.
And the Samaritan does what any good Samaritan would do.
He buys a man socks and shoes.
Expensive new shoes and socks.
The world sees this gesture and applaud the good Samaritan, and that is good.
There is simply not enough kindness in the world.
But, the very next day, the seemingly homeless man is without shoes, without socks.
Again, what happened?
He made a choice.
It was his comfort, wearing the boots, or his life.
He chose his life.
In his world, wearing such a beautiful pair of boots would have been an invitation to murder.
He could have been killed for those boots.
And, by the way, he is not homeless. He has an apartment.
It is difficult to resist judging others, besides, it does feel good to think of oneself being better than another.
I try not to judge anymore, or to judge what I am seeing.
Things are not always what they seem.
Which does not mean that I have become cynical.
I have become callous.
Thanks to my Navy days, I have been many places, and I have seen many things.
Many times, there were not what they seemed.
A child crippled and mangled, begging on the street.
You are touched, and you give.
Giving, like mercy, blesses him that gives, and him that takes.
You whisper onto your breath, how could God do this to a child?
To find that the deformity was not an act of God, but a deliberate act of a mother.
Doing so, knowing that a deformed child would gain more sympathy.
Garnish more money.
If I were to ask, I would ask, what kind of a world is this, that would make a mother?
