Ouroboro

Isn't it ironic?

The very freedom America allows...it is always America itself, no one else, who removes the very good that occasionally crop up and try to straighten out it's gnarled and knotted self.

America seems more at war with itself, than with any country it currently occupies.

This coldblooded beast allowed to feed and grow so large and fat, became unable to distinguish itself from the rest of the world. Failed to recognize where it ended and other countries and cultures began.

It was also unable to discern, the rest of the world looking on, clearly recognized that distinction.

America failed to recognize and actually accept differences, and change.It failed to adapt and respond and
act in-accordance-with the global community, and failed to adhere to agreed upon international laws.

In resisting existing realities it encountered, and failing to move with the ebbing tide of time, in it's clinging to it's dusty old wild west ways, it in essence commenced consuming itself.

Because America believes it is the world, it has failed to recognize it's destruction of the other parts of the world, is America destroying itself.

If the beast continues fail to recognize or sense that it is eating it's own self, it will kill itself.

We are witnessing an unrecognized internal struggle of a snake consuming it's own tail.

The Ouroboro.

Vicious cycle.

There is no untangling, there is only exhaustion, followed by a slow realization, with the hope there is non fatal self inflicted injury, or deep external wounds that may or may not ever heal.

But how many possess enough compassion to feel sympathy for, and reach out to nurture and aid a snake?

I believe there some. Not many, but there will always be some who will feel bad for its plight.

But America won't survive if it continues to remove those few rare and good characters who crop up occasionally, due to the very freedom it originally encouraged.
