REFER TO GREY: Contemplations by Robert Greigos © 2007-2024

When the people are sovereign, there is no one to blame but we the people.

Take a look. Take a look at what is happening. The people are stumbling. The people are failing to grasp the implications of what is being done in their name. Just take a look.

Government is to blame, they say. No, government is not to blame. We are the government. We are to blame.

Industry is to blame, they say. No, industry is not to blame. We are industry. We are to blame.

Some say Democrats are to blame, others say Republicans are. No, Democrats are not to blame. Neither are Republicans. We, we the people are to blame.

Then foreigners are to blame. No, foreigners are not to blame. We are to blame.

Television, advertising, education, they are to blame. No, we are television. We are advertising. We are education. We are to blame.

Talk to each other, people. There is no "other" that is to blame. We are sovereign in this world. We are responsible for what is happening. We are. No one else but us. Talk to each other. Make a plan. Discover what needs to be known. Discover what needs to be done. Make it happen. Make it happen so we all survive. Make it happen so we all belong, so we all enjoy. Forget fear. Forget anger. Forget prejudice and impatience. Forget envy and hate. Forget what you think is right and what you think should be. What is right, what should be, is whatever works, whatever works for all of us. Find out what works for all of us, then make it happen. Make it happen for all of us.

What about religion? Religion is to blame, right? No, religion is not to blame. Religion is an excuse to blame others: non-believers, non-adherents. Religion is even an excuse to blame God. No, non-believers are not to blame. Non-adherents are not to blame. Even God, if there is a God, is blameless. We, we alone are to blame.

We, the people, are to blame. We are responsible for what is happening. Talk to each other, each of you. Find out what works. Then, get it done. Get it done for all of us. Talk to each other and get it done.
