It is not them, you see, not merely them, those from that particular nation, who have wrought this destruction upon us, do not be so simplistic. They merely delivered the blow, they were the instrument of our downfall. But we we are the true architects of this ruin. We, in our small wretchedness contributed the most to our own damnation. Look at us! We cannot even bear to stand beside our neighbor all for the sake of a wretched inch of land... It is a pathetic spectacle a carnival of feckless spite. And if you dare to ask me, "Are they winning?" I will tell you with a conviction that chills me to my very core "No. They are not." They too are on the precipice of their own self annihilation but they are too consumed by their own ignorance to perceive the yawning abyss before them. And their virus, their insidious virus has infected us as well. For they do not merely exist outside of us...they live within us.. do you not see? We in our folly welcomed them in. You will protest, I know you will. You will say "But we did not! It was an occupation!" And I will grant you that YES, it was an occupation. But we....we sold our own brothers to them. We bartered with them, we conducted our petty affairs with the enemy, and with each transaction, with each casual, sordid exchange, the tag "alien" slowly, inexorably, was erased. I confess, I have no word left for what we have become. None. But you will persist, I can see it in your eyes. "They are losing too," you will argue, "so how can they be our enemy if we suffer the same disease?" Ah, but you miss the point entirely. You do not understand the nature of this affliction. The disease, this self destructive impulse, is their heritage. It has always been a part of who they are, woven into the very fabric of their being. For us, it was foreign. It was a poison deliberately introduced into our veins. They delight in selfdestruction, and in their twisted malice, they wished for us to delight in it too. They wanted us to become like them to be vultures..to be something less than human. But our nature, our true, innate nature, is spirituality. It always has been. And they, in their grotesque ignorance, disturbed it. Their suffering is their birthright. Ours was inflicted upon us by them. Do you comprehend? Do you finally see the tragic irony? So, I ask you once more.. who is losing? We both are. And why? Because we are human. And our Creator already spoke the truth that binds us all, in a verse I cannot perfectly recall, but its essence is seared into my soul..."Indeed, mankind is in a state of great loss." Yes... that is it. That is the tragedy of it all.
