World War Covid

Generations past, like my Grandfather, as you’ll see, tell us how to deal with the now. It’s the anniversary of the United States being bombed at Pearl Harbor and forced to enter World War 2. Now we are at war again. Lots off hopelessness, but there is a dash of hope. I’ll explain.

Me and my Grandfather Rabbi Alfred Wolf

We were bombed at “Pearl Harbor” in January 2020. Our enemy COVID was here. Our generation’s first “December 7th, 1941.” Our leaders and the Federal Government did nothing, didn’t tell us we’d been bombed, so nobody knew. In March it was made clear it was here but to the leaders at the top, not a big deal, ignore, gaslight and so on.

WE ARE IN A WAR where our leaders are making the bombings about themselves, not about the country, but about the individuals at the top. We are in a war where people are dying, yet the top is doing nothing. Planes are flying over, SHOOTING, BOMBING, but the reaction by the top folks, IGNORE. Some of the Army Generals (our Governors and Mayors) don’t listen and try to get their own troops together to fight the war. Some Generals follow the lead from the top and deny the war exists.

Yet we are still being bombed, shot at, hurt, killed, pitted against each other, DESTROYED. Not how you win the war. A recipe for losing.

Months and months of this go on as we keep getting bombed. We are split further apart by the war, from within, as our soldiers die.

It’s almost December 7th, 2020, Pearl Harbor now gets bombed again and the reactions are the exact same as the first time. The definition of insanity. Coming from the top. All the carnage. Nothing is united to fight the fight. So everything is a mess. Over reacting. Under reacting. Ignoring. Making it about one person. Yet we keep getting bombed and nobody is in charge.

So we all lose the war. From every side. All of us. THE PEOPLE. Except for the select few who are above a war because of money and power. Let the bombings continue as we scatter. UNLESS, because there always has to be an UNLESS, we as individuals make smart decisions in spite of our leaders. We do what we feel is right. We make a point of coming together with our neighbors and loved ones to make sure we get out of this, one way or another, in spite of the mess. Then we can WIN the war.

My Grandfather did it by escaping Nazi Germany. That’s a LOT harder than what we are dealing with. Because of it, I’m alive and have this picture with him. So surely we all can do it by fighting this war with our own instincts, guts and pure will. We can follow the lead of those we look up to who have come before. Then “1945” (2021) will come again, the war will be over, and we can put the pieces back together, because of our own strength. In each one of us. UNITED we will stand again. We the People can do this.
