#day 5 cure for tranquility

Cure for Tranquility at Haven - Day 5

Avexis tilts her head, staring at this Mother Giselle. The person with the glowing hand is now being called the Herald of Andraste. Avexis wishes almost she was the Herald... would she have been save then from possession and gotten her talents back completely..? She felt like herself once more, more awake than ever, when the Herald passed by her briefly. She has been cautious to be near them since then. Not wishing to be possessed... And now this Mother asks her if she'd ever want to be cured of Tranquility... what an odd question... she shakes her head, frightened at the thought, "I do not think it will be wise as the number of demons would leave me vulnerable to possession... I might experience feelings of discomfort over events that have occurred while I was Tranquil. I believe I can survive in this fashion but might not if I was made whole again." she whispers in a small voice.. careful to sound hopeful. She misses Galyan, she would have been able to confide in him... Cassandra is being so distant...

Avexis stares at the whimpering, defiled dragon. The same one from her dreams a few nights ago... it curses and screams at the monstrous man sauntering towards the Herald. She was trying to help with the trebuchets, aware and completely overwhelmed by emotions right now as she crawls back, tears streaming down her face. Screaming out her lungs as the avalanche comes down at them all with no mercy for who is below it. The dragon being forced to save this monster -this twisted creature- of a man. The snow crashing down, sending her down into a dark, freezing cave, after the Herald. The Herald clinging to her as they both tumble down deeper with the momentum of the avalanche. And at the touch of the newly unstable Anchor, she feels free. She feels everything at once, too much. And once everything stopped moving, she got up shakily and staggered further down the cave, trembling from the cold and feeling completely undone, no longer herself any more... not alone in her mind...

Nor will she ever be again...

How will Cassandra know...? Will she think Avexis dead - that it will be better off like that for her now?

Bible Study- 1 Peter 5:7-10 ♡

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."

As someone who CONSTANTLY struggles with anxiety, my biggest trouble is learning to cope. When I am stressing about something, I will dwell in self pity in a spiral that seems to never end. According to this scripture, we are to lay down our worries to God.

Personally, when I am struggling with anxiety over something, I have a hard time simply giving it up. There are a couple steps that I personally follow in order to help ease my mind:

Relaxing: When anxieties are consuming me, I take a second to take deep breathes, focus on my breathing, and ask God for guidance

Changing the tone: In order to redirect my mindset, I find that creating peaceful habits can help to deescalate my anxieties. The habit that I created is listening to a calming playlist, starting with "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles. I have created the habit of listening to this song when I am coming off of high levels of stress, so my brain tends to connect this song to calming down. This habit instantly brings my mindset to a significantly more tranquil level. This habit can be anything- from painting, to music, to baking!

Seeking the logical perspective: Once I am calmed down, I am able to see the situation from a better perspective. If it is something that I cannot currently go out and solve, then I do not have any reason to dwell on it. Instead, I leave it up to God. I remember that only He knows what is best for me, and that I need to trust whatever he has in store for me. I trust that in the end, He will direct me towards a better path in the end.

**These are steps that I personally find help with my anxiety! I am in no way saying that these are cures to anxieties. Do whatever works best for you! ◡̈

This is one of my favorite readings of scripture as someone who struggles from anxiety day-to-day. It is very relieving in and of itself because it reminds me that God's plan will soon be relieved to me, and that I need to trust in whatever road blocks come before me! ◡̈

OVERCOMING OURSELVES - THE TRUE BATTLEGROUND

 Christ Jesus warns us that a time is coming when many will fall prey to fear and panic because of the things they see coming upon the earth. (see Luke 21:25-28)

LIVING IN PERFECT PEACE

True tranquility of soul, genuine godly peace, is only found in the person of Christ, not in some ritual or self-help practice. He alone is the Prince of Peace.

It is imperative that we come to understand our Christ identity and maintain a deep walk in the Word of God -- this will bring about the freedom we need to draw near to the Lord. Each day we must affirm our oneness with Christ, seeking to yield, ever deeper, our will to His PURPOSE for our life.  It is as we face Him in faith--open and trusting--that we are changed into His likeness (see 2 Corinthians 3:18).

THE SPIRIT OF FEAR

The "spirit of fear" is a form of bondage and spiritual slavery. It is a ruthless taskmaster attempting to steal the seeds of DESTINY and PURPOSE being awakened within the hearts of many of God's people. The Lord knew us before the foundation of the world and He deposited within us the divine seeds of kingdom design and DESTINY.

The only cure for fear and anxiety is abiding in the Word, the person of Christ Jesus. Paul declares in Philippians 4:6-7 (AMP):

"Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God's peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."

As we turn our inner focus, our will, to Christ and place our affections on Him, meditating on the love of Jesus flowing into and through our heart into the lives of others that we are discipling, adjusting our thoughts to the Word --  particularly the scriptures that have to do with our identity in Christ -- we will discover abiding peace.

DESPITE THE STORMS

Despite the storms, however, God's plans and PURPOSE for your life are wonderful.  Jeremiah 29:11 says: "'For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,' says the Lord, 'thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.'"

We can begin to walk in our PURPOSE as we seek first to bear fruit that remains for the Kingdom of God. Paul states in 2 Corinthians 5:9, "Therefore we make it our aim, to be well pleasing to Him." We must desire to fully finish the course (our DESTINY in Christ) -- in such a manner as to hear the Lord say, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

PROPER IDENTIFICATION OF THE BATTLEGROUND

Your battleground is not the circumstances of your life. The true battleground of the enemy is in your mind, will, and emotions. Keeping your thoughts and heart focused on Jesus and how you are able to meet the spiritual needs of others through Him, will prevent darkness from overtaking your soul.

Combat gear: 

Crimson hound(Artifact): Conductive adamantine greataxe+4 that can be summoned with a mind command and transmit the Egg corruption via wounds. If destroyed, it can reform if the user makes a chant that lasts for a full round. Once per day, the user can touch a follower blessed by the Egg with the weapon and bestow the effect of a spell Righteous Power that lasts for 24h). The weapon is semi-sentient and knows the location and status of every creature that is or was infected by the Egg, even those that are now free from his grasp. By looking into the gem "eye" of the weapon it works like the spell Clairaudience/clairvoyance(both at the same time) but if used on people loyal to the Egg it is considered an instant cast and without saving throw. It is destroyed when the Red seed is destroyed.

Malice carapace(Artifact): Darkleaf Reflecting Leather+5 it has the properties Shadow greater and Glamered. It possess the hardness of adamantine but it is light and flexible as leather. Furthermore, it grants the user a +5 resistance bonus on saving rolls. If the user manages to gather under his Leadership feat at least 100 people (regardless of the hit dice) it grants the wearer regeneration 20. It is destroyed if the Red seed is destroyed.

The red seed(Artifact): This crimson gem shaped like an egg emits a malignant (evil overwhelming)red aura that grants his user the benefit of the spell Freedom of movement, Blink and protects it from any transmutation effects. The seed can hover around the user like Ioun stone also it can be placed on the ground to start the spreading of the corruption. After 72 hours a 10 mile area is corrupted by the Egg and only a Miracle or Wish spell can cure this effect(performed at the epicenter of the corruption). If the Seed is removed before the 72h timer expires, the corruption slowly fades away after 24h. The Seed can be destroyed via a mythic spell of level 7 or higher OR by weapons with an enchantment equal or higher than +4 with the bane plant property and holy property. When the Seed is destroyed, Velvetcake is destroyed and his Eternal ability stops to function. The Egg then needs 300 days to restore his champion and artifact to resume the corruption. (Any completed 72h corruption rituals will still be active even after Velvet demise). The Seed has 300hp and 20 point of hardness and can only be damaged via the means previously described.

Background In the past Antfrost lived a happy life with his lover RedVelvetcake and as long as they had each other, nothing else mattered. One day however, Velvet died to unknown circumstances and a distraught Antfrost left their home to avoid living alone and reached for his old friend BadBoyHalo. It was after he left that Antfrost was corrupted by the crimson Egg, promising him to restore his beloved Velvet in exchange for his loyalty. However, that moment still went away from his reach as Ant perished during the Red Banquet and a certain being brought him into his world. The Egg did not stood idle and although it spoke no words he made his intentions clear: “TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME.” His roots reached the old house of Ant and dug the remains of his beloved and fused together to recall his soul back. Soon, the new herald of the Egg from the land of SMP arrived in this brand new world with a portal where it would spread his corruption once more. There he stood: clad in red as he did in life. Velvetcake was reborn The Envoy of the Crimson Egg with one mission: Spread the corruption of his master using the artifacts he provided to him. However, there was something never clear: was this person just a made up memory by the Egg to ensure Antfrost’s obedience? Or was he actually the lover that Ant declared? For no one ever saw him except for Ant. Only the Egg knew. But not even the Egg could predict his first words upon arrival: “Ant, my beloved.” Thus he marched, locked onto him to fulfill his duty and bring back his lover under the wing of his master. And those who touched the crimson roots were doomed to fall under the whispers. “Long live the Eggpire.”

Two Weeks of Whump : day one to five

Okay I wanted to write more whump drabbles, I find the exercice quite interesting, with such few words. So yeah, I’m doing @promptsforyourwhumpfic‘s Two Weeks of Whump, with, as now usually, Skyrim’s Custom Voiced Followers.

Day 1 – Ashes

From the bustling city that was Whiterun, only whimpers and moans could be heard through the smoke and ash that thickened the air of the city. Attacked by the Stormcloaks, the city had resisted, not without difficulty or victims. The Dragonborn and his housecarl passed near the Gildergreen, miraculously spared. From a burnt and collapsed hovel nearby, a blackened hand could be seen piercing the ashes. Severio Pelagia had perished. Lydia brought her hands to her mouth, her stomach dropping. She wanted to cry but the smoke burned her eyes as much as her tears. (95)

•

Day 2 – Bio-weapon

Sanguinare Vampiris, they called the illness, a virus like a curse spread by the bloodthirsty creatures of the night. Fear gripped the hearts of the afflicted, for they knew what awaited them. Three days of torment and suffering, the slow progression towards an eternal transformation. Auri trembled as she began to suffer of the first symptoms after a fight against a Vampire. She knew the consequences all too well :the slow transformation into a creature she loathed. Altering one's nature was against Y'ffre's wishes. She had to find a cure, before it was too late. (98)

•

3 – Alcohol

The bottle of Alto wine passed silently from one to the other. In the midst of the tranquility of the place, under teh stars, neither of them managed to find sleep. So there was alcohol. To forget the horrors of the past that jumped out at them as soon as their eyes closed. Nebarra grimaced. It wasn't strong enough for him. Taliesin cracked a smile. Of all their companions, Nebarra was ultimately the only one who could understand him. He too was haunted by the war. The mercenary often verbalized it, like a litany of the horrors he had seen and experienced. (103)

•

4 – Cage

Iron bars for only horizon. The new home of Lucien Flavius. A cage in a fortified bandit camp on the border with Cyrodiil. Marvellous. The bandits hadn't damaged his body too much because they were hoping for a nice ransom for this young man from a good family. The bruises he suffered hurt him but the feeling of humiliation he also felt was just as stinging. Lucien felt so helpless in this situation. He pressed his blond head against the bars. He knew someone was going to save him. But when ? And at what price? (96)

•

5 – Broken glass

She was cornered. Next to her, the broken glass of a display case. The sounds of boots were already heard on the other side of the door. Even if she wasn't the culprit of this theft – she would have skilfully picked the display case, her – the guards wouldn't care. Her heartbeat quickened. Trembling, she wrapped her hand around a jagged shard. Remiel gritted his teeth. The glass sank into the flesh of his palm. Blood quickly coated the shard of glass and dripped onto the floor. But what could cut her could cut her assailants. (97)

[uranium235s]

sorry for being some insane kind of freak but i love your dragon age art unbelivably much (where are all the beautiful transgender people bioware i know they exist) and your lore seems really cool have you written it down somewhere? sorry if you havent i just really think your stuff is cool asf thanks

I LOVE INSANE FREAKS I AM ONE MYSELF PLLYTYRUGGYH thank you for asking I can definitely explain my ocs and their lore and will do so gleefully in fact, don't have it written down anywhere but my brain so this is my chance

probably needlessly long-winded lore below the cut

SOMNIAR

Somniar is an elven mage! he was born in the Mahariel clan, but when he was very young and began to show signs of magic, he was left behind in the Denerim Alienage because the clan had too many mages. He was briefly taken in by the Surana family, but a few years later the alienage gave him to the circle where he then grew up in its walls.

Surprisingly I have thought about his relationship with Jowan despite the fact that he's a bit one-off 💀 I think Somniar grew really attached to him and was basically his shadow for the first several years that he arrived there. when he realized he was trans, Jowan gave him all his hand-me-downs so he could wear the male robes because that was almost assuredly something he could not petition the templars for.

When Jowan escaped the circle, Somniar was blasé about being kicked out and conscripted. he found it better than the alternative (tranquility) and therefore went along with it just fine. He had deeply conflicting feelings about actually being a warden, having been raised by the circle to believe that he was uniquely prone to corruption, he worried that becoming tainted was something that would make him unclean or more susceptible to the thralls of evil magic. He didn't really cope with this fear until him and Alistair became truly isolated in their wardenhood after the massacre at Ostagar and he realized he had to be this way regardless, so there was little point in being emo about it.

At Ostagar, he reconnected with another new warden recruit from his birth clan named Sylric who belongs to an IRL friend of mine! Sylric is the one who gives Somniar his vallaslin and helps him reconnect with the Dalish :)

basic overview of his game choices:

• Romanced Alistair

• Travelling party is Leliana, Zevran, and Alistair

• Specializations are arcane warrior and spirit healer :)

1. Saved the circle and rejected the rite of annulment

2. Killed the demon, saved Connor, kept isolde alive, and vied for Jowan to not be executed

3. brokered peace between the Dalish and the werewolves, cured the curse

4. killed Branka, elected Bhelen

5. did not defile the ashes. obviously

6. Kept Alistair in the Wardens, elected Anora as queen, allowed Alistair to execute Loghain

7. asked Alistair very nicely to do the dark ritual

8. SURVIVED!!!!

His post canon is defined by being warden commander at Alistair's side until the events before DAI drove them in differing directions, physically, though as they intended to return to each other. However, in the events of DAI is left in the Fade, so that obviously can't really happen.

After the loss of his husband, Somniar takes a brief trek back to Ferelden with intent of invoking some kind of revenge on the inquisition but is stopped by Advisement of Leliana (who saw this coming)

After this, Somniar goes out on his lonesome and camps at various locations over, sleeping and exploring the Fade, and remains in this constant asleep state until he has a vivid and extremely depressing fade dream (which I have written about :) ) that brings him out of it. Afterwards, he heads to Antiva to travel with his closest friends, Zevran and Sylric <3

HAWKE

Honestly my hawke isn't very complex?? lore wise I think what the game presents is accurate, but im of the opinion that as he got older he became the black sheep of the family, exacerbated by Bethany dying. copes by humor and escapism but is constantly brought back down by The Neverending Agony

my Hawke's complexities are based on his relationships with the others and less on the events that besiege him though, I'd feel bad writing out an entire list of relationship Diagnostics so I will say that:

His most close-knit and authentic relationships are with Aveline, Varric, and Fenris, most complicated (but loving still) are Anders & Carver, and the rest of the companions being his close friends that don't really get to see his most personal side. Except Sebastian who is genuinely this man's arch nemesis.

Overview of my game choices:

• Romanced Anders

• Travelling party is Anders, Varric, and Fenris

• Specializations are Blood mage and spirit healer

• Purple personality mainly, w/ secondary blue :)

1. Carver became a grey warden

2. Duelled the Arishok to save Isabela

3. Helped anders compile the ingredients with pretty much no questions asked 💀

4. Sided with the mages. obviously.

Bonus, Legacy - 5. Sided with Larius to kill Corypheus

6. (DAI) Survived the fade

Post-Fade, Hawke meets up with Carver and Anders to ensure their safety before travelling back to Kirkwall. He is all too happy to tease Varric about being Viscount but gladly helped in furthering the rebuilding effort while thinly obscuring Anders continued existence

FIRUZ

my sweet Dalish mage. Firuz absolutely loved life with his Clan. He was extremely close and familiar with his Keeper above even his own parents, and was basically the clan babysitter. Because of his incredible patience and chaos management, the clan elected him to be the one to watch over the Divine Conclave, much to his dismay.

His vallaslin are of June, the elven God of craft, which fits him well :) despite his magic, Firuz always has a higher affinity for mending and crafting things the old fashioned way. while in Skyhold (less so in haven) he spends his free time crafting armor for his travelling companions and aiding in weapon crafting, which he is admittedly a little bit less good with. He absolutely adores Dalish leather and wood weaving but finds less time to commit to it while leading the inquisition :(

Game choices:

• Romanced Dorian

• Travelling party is Dorian, Cassandra, and Varric

• Specialization is rift mage :)

• War table missions mostly used Josephine and Lelianna

1. Allied with the mages

2. Left Alistair in the Fade :(

3. Kept the Wardens in Ferelden to rebuild

4. Brought Celene and Briala back together and had them rule Orlais as a duo (mostly)

5. Drank from the Well Of Sorrows (hence why his hair turned white 💀)

6. (Trespasser) vowed to stop Solas by any means necessary

7. (Trespasser) Disbands the inquisition

After the events of the main game, Firuz mostly spends his time hunting dragons and taking care of the remaining rifts around the south. He spends a lot of time recuperating from an absolute horror show of a hero's journey, and returning to passions he lost along the way. Firuz starts the game as quite overwhelmed and jumpy about his situation and by the end has mostly entered a state of numb depression. At no point does he take well to being the leader or the hope of the people.

In the few weeks before Trespasser where Dorian has returned to Tevinter "temporarily", Firuz takes as an opportunity to finally return to his Clan, at least for a brief visit. These few days really heal something in him, and give him a deceptively good feeling about the future, which is almost immediately destroyed by the events of Trespasser.

After losing his arm and his partner, he spends a lot of time running Jenny business with Sera, and travelling to visit his friends who have thus scattered to the wind. In particular, he makes good on Varric's offer to come visit in Kirkwall and spends many weeks there overseeing the rebuilding effort and spending time with Varric, Hawke and company. Alongside this, he stays with his Clan long term. Occasionally, he sneaks to Tevinter if permitted, but never for more than a few days. I'm so excited for what horrors DA:D will inflict upon his short-lived peace

Winter Wellness: Nourishing Your Body and Mind in the Cold Season

As winter blankets the world in a serene layer of snow, it brings with it a unique set of challenges for both our bodies and minds. The colder temperatures and shorter days can often leave us feeling lethargic and less motivated to prioritize our well-being. However, with a mindful approach and a few intentional practices, you can not only weather the winter months but thrive during them. In this guide, we'll explore self-care ideas for winter, the comforting glow of winter candles, and the magic of essential oils to uplift your spirits in the cold season.

 1. Embracing Winter Self-Care

Winter self-care goes beyond cozy blankets and hot cocoa; it involves a holistic approach to nourishing your body and mind. Start by incorporating warming foods into your diet, such as hearty soups, stews, and herbal teas. These not only provide comfort but also help keep your body warm and your immune system robust.

As the cold air can lead to dry skin, make sure to adjust your skincare routine accordingly. Hydrate your skin with rich, moisturizing creams and lotions, and don't forget the often-neglected areas like your hands and lips. Consider indulging in a weekly at-home spa night with a hydrating face mask and a warm bath infused with soothing essential oils.

 2. Winter Candles: Illuminating Coziness

The flickering flame of a winter candle has a magical way of transforming your living space into a sanctuary of warmth and comfort. Opt for candles with fragrances that evoke the essence of winter, such as cedarwood, cinnamon, and vanilla. These scents not only create a cozy atmosphere but can also have a positive impact on your mood.

Place candles strategically around your home, especially in areas where you spend the most time, like the living room or bedroom. The soft glow of candlelight can have a calming effect, making your space feel inviting and serene. Whether you're reading a book, enjoying a cup of tea, or simply unwinding after a long day, the ambient light of winter candles adds a touch of hygge to your surroundings.

 3. Essential Oils for Cold-Weather Comfort

Harness the power of nature's aromas to uplift your spirits during the cold season. Essential Oils Can Cure Your Common Cold, Essential oils are a versatile and natural way to enhance your well-being. Citrus oils like orange and bergamot can add a burst of energy and freshness, counteracting the winter blues. Alternatively, the warm and grounding scents of lavender and chamomile can help you relax and unwind, promoting a restful night's sleep.

For a cozy and comforting atmosphere, consider creating your own winter blend using essential oils. Combine cedarwood, cinnamon, and a hint of clove for a scent reminiscent of a winter cabin retreat. Use a diffuser to spread these soothing aromas throughout your home, turning it into a haven of tranquility.

 4. Hydration for Health

In winter, it's easy to forget the importance of staying hydrated. The cold weather can be deceiving, leading us to believe that our bodies need less water. However, indoor heating systems and chilly winds can contribute to dehydration. Ensure you're drinking an adequate amount of water throughout the day, and consider incorporating warm beverages like herbal teas and broths.

Hydration not only supports overall health but also benefits your skin, combating the dryness that often accompanies winter. Keep a reusable water bottle with you, and infuse it with slices of citrus fruits for a refreshing and vitamin-packed drink.

 5. Winter Outdoor Activities

While the temptation to hibernate indoors is strong during winter, getting outside and embracing the season can do wonders for your well-being. Bundle up in warm layers and take a brisk walk in a nearby park or nature reserve. The crisp air and winter scenery provide a refreshing change of pace and an opportunity to connect with the beauty of the season.

Engaging in winter sports like skiing, snowboarding, or ice skating adds an element of fun and physical activity to your routine. These activities not only keep you active but also help combat the winter blues by promoting the release of endorphins.

 6. Connecting with Loved Ones

Winter is a season of togetherness, and there's no better time to strengthen your connections with loved ones. Host a cozy winter gathering with friends or family, complete with warm drinks, comfort food, and the glow of winter candles. Share stories, play board games, or simply enjoy each other's company in the comfort of your inviting, candlelit space.

If distance separates you from loved ones, embrace technology to stay connected. Schedule virtual gatherings, whether it's a video call to share a cup of tea or an online game night. Maintaining social connections is essential for mental well-being, especially during the isolating winter months.

 7. Reflecting and Setting Intentions

Winter is a natural time for reflection and introspection. Take advantage of the longer nights to turn inward and assess your goals, values, and priorities. Set intentions for the coming months, focusing on activities and habits that bring you joy and fulfillment.

Consider starting a winter journal to document your thoughts, feelings, and aspirations. Write down moments of gratitude, reflections on the past year, and goals for the future. This practice not only provides a sense of clarity but also serves as a therapeutic outlet for expressing your emotions.

In conclusion, winter wellness is about more than just surviving the cold; it's an opportunity to thrive and embrace the unique beauty of the season. By prioritizing self-care, incorporating the comforting glow of winter candles, and harnessing the power of essential oils, you can nourish your body and mind during the colder months. Embrace the magic of winter, and let it be a season of rejuvenation, connection, and self-discovery.

if i were the devil

if i were the devil … if i were the prince of darkness, i’d want to engulf the whole world in darkness. and i’d have a third of its real estate, and four-fifths of its population, but i wouldn’t be happy until i had seized the ripest apple on the tree — thee. so i’d set about however necessary to take over the united states. i’d subvert the churches first — i’d begin with a campaign of whispers. with the wisdom of a serpent, i would whisper to you as i whispered to eve: 'do as you please.'

to the young, i would whisper that 'the bible is a myth.’ i would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. i would confide that what’s bad is good, and what’s good is ‘square.’ and the old, i would teach to pray, after me, ‘our Father, which art in washington…’

and then i’d get organized. i’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting, so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. i’d threaten tv with dirtier movies and vice versa. i’d pedal narcotics to whom i could. i’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. i’d tranquilize the rest with pills.

if i were the devil i’d soon have families that war with themselves, churches at war with themselves, and nations at war with themselves; until each in its turn was consumed. and with promises of higher ratings i’d have mesmerizing media fanning the flames. if i were the devil i would encourage schools to refine young intellects, but neglect to discipline emotions — just let those run wild, until before you knew it, you’d have to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door.

within a decade i’d have prisons overflowing, i’d have judges promoting pornography — soon i could evict God from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of congress. and in His own churches i would substitute psychology for religion, and deify science. i would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls, and church money. if i were the devil i’d make the symbols of easter an egg and the symbol of christmas a bottle.

if i were the devil i’d take from those who have, and give to those who want until i had killed the incentive of the ambitious.

and what do you bet i could get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich? i would caution against extremes and hard work in patriotism, in moral conduct. i would convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging is more fun, that what you see on the tv is the way to be. and thus, i could undress you in public, and i could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure. in other words, if i were the devil i’d just keep right on doing what he’s doing.

paul harvey, good day - 1965

mr harvey delivered this years ago to a world descending into darkness and confusion. i think even he would be shocked at far we have advanced from his visioning. all his statements seem as a child's reader compare to a book on calculus. and our senses remain deadened all the while because the process was gradually - just like a frog will remain still and be cooked because the body adapts to the increase until it is suddenly too late.
