You are right, I know so very little, it is understandable that you look upon me in wonder imagining how I can even navigate life’s obstacles with such limited assets. I get it that the ideas that cross your mind are of such importance that we ought instantly stop, listen and take careful notice of each powerful detail. I honor your commitment to your way for it does seem so right to you. And I apologize for not being passionately captured by the eye opening content that frankly is so high above my perceptive capacity that I have even failed to register its impact, its indelible significance.

I do not wish to see your worthy cause diminished, so please let me encourage you to call the helm to full steam ahead and may your ship find ports beyond this simple village with the inadequate receptors for such high minded inquiry. Oh, you don’t want to go, you would rather stay here and force me to understand your complex line of thinking that we have heretofore established is far beyond my inherent ability to comprehend. Oh, so you are going to teach me what I need to learn in order to grasp these golden grapes of satisfying wisdom.

Do I perhaps have any authority within this authoritarian structure, maybe to say something as, “I do not wish to become educated to that line of thinking”? Oh, that is not allowed in order to maintain a relationship with you I must first acknowledge my immeasurable ignorance and then volunteer to be force fed ideas and concepts that I frankly do not value or cannot ascertain that value you claim they have in reserve? Oh, there comes the finger in my face and the insults that are especially effective with those who are susceptible to bullying or having their character diminished until they acquiesce.

At this point I am going to utter something that is entirely intended with all love, care, gentility and measured thought, NO. What you haven’t anyone dare to disagree with your knighthood and dismiss themselves from the list of those who you deem in desperate need of intellectual modification? Well there is a new day and new experiences within each new day and it appears this is your new day.

I don’t know much. It is actually freeing to be simple. Though I do understand the complex reasoning and power behind the Love of God, something over which scholars have regularly argued for millennia. What does that mean that a simple man can understand the depth of God’s Love and yet be incapable of worldly understanding or pursuit of philosophical platinum reserved for those whose names painted history? I don’t know because I choose not to. Focusing on love frees me from the complex worry and concerns of this world that has determined that being complicated is somehow a badge of honor to be worn by chosen few.

Look I get it, please walk away perhaps feeling sorry for me because it makes no sense to you that I would rather just be sitting here with a couple of God fearing folks from the country, sharing a smile, a song or some fresh tea for the rest of my worldly existence than to spend even one moment in the complex, reasoned debate about man’s superiority over other men that I know will accompany those moments spent in your company.  I love you but you only love yourself and that my friend is a dangerous place to be, especially in this day and time.  May the Lord God’s Holy Spirit touch your heart and give you people more valuable than your thoughts. In Jesus Name.
