Great post Scott. Thanks so much for taking the time.
Everything in our society which we are meant to revere is transactional. It is a give to get. As you say, the only real sacrifice is self sacrifice. Self sacrifice, honour, and integrity are alien to our modern way of life because there is no’ upside’. But they are an upside, or benefit in themselves.
Modern morality pretends to be about equality or ‘equity’ but it is only ever about gaining position in the new hierarchy. It is very ugly indeed.
I’ve enjoyed your photos this week too. A different world.
I love your clear observations and thanks for the shout out!

Difficult to fault this forensic analysis of our shared cultural, economic and spiritual collapse. Kudos.
Cheers, Tim. I hope you're keeping well enough. I'll be back down South in February for sure, if not sooner. I'll try and give you a bell.
All good thanks. Welcome the chance for a rematch. Trust all well with you and the family.
👍 Affirmative.
