Christopher Smart: Take your cues from Jesus, and try to make the most of this place while the powers-that-be create Hell on Earth.
I awakened one recent morning to NPR on my clock-radio alarm. Before I could focus on the beautiful spring morning outside my window, I had the sinking sensation that, well, we are going to hell in a handbasket — again.Our redheaded, plus-size prehistoric cousins, the Neanderthals, discovered fire and drew deer and bears on cave walls. Now, thanks to progress, we have gas fireplaces, central AC and big-screen TVs.
The happiest countries, Finland, Denmark and Iceland are dark and cold and socialist and those folks pay a lot of taxes. But no one is homeless, education and healthcare are available to everyone, and there isn’t widespread gun violence. Maybe we’re all sick and tired of going to hell in a handbasket. Well, maybe not everyone — some folks apparently have not noticed how bad things suck. At one time I thought people who weren’t up on current events were vapid. Well, maybe they are a bit vacuous but they’re warm and relaxed and say things like hiking, biking and reading John Grisham are rewarding and meaningful. They’re always in a good mood and say stuff like, think globally, act locally.
Someone was supposed to fix all that. Instead, we now have Donald Trump and Clarence Thomas and Marjorie Taylor Greene. There’s growing homelessness, wage inequality and mass gun violence. What would Jesus do?
