-So... Unto Gladiator Zero's Final
"Don't Look Back In Anger" Farewell-
( Though appeased in righteous indignation )
The Bible warns "do not let the sun go down on your anger" (Ephesians 4:26); that is, do not let feelings of anger last so long as to become sinful, but rather, deal with them before they reach that point. There is, however, what is commonly referred to as "righteous indignation," as demonstrated by Jesus when he made a whip and cleared out the merchants in the Temple (Gospel of John 2:13-16). In Romans 1:18, the sin of man also provokes the wrath of God, who not only punishes sinners, but also provides a way for them to appease His Wrath.
For...Anyone can become angry. That is easy.
But to be angry with the right person,
to the right degree, at the right time,
for the right purpose and in the right way -
that is not easy.
(Aristotle (384-322 BC) - Greek philosopher)
"Avoid greed, hatred, and delusion--also translatable as
attachment, anger, and ignorance. They bring us confusion
and misery rather than peace, happiness, and fulfillment.
It is in our own self-interest to purify and transform them".
- The Gautama Buddha -
For how much more grevious are the consequences
of anger than the causes of it. - Marcus Aurelius -
Thus...
Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear,
but around in awareness. - James Thurber
For It's Time For Us All "To Face Out Even Anger"
And slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play?
Oasis (Live from Manchester)
Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd never been
All the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away
So I start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I hear you say
Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away
So I start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I hear you say
Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
I heard you say
At least not today

So Once Again "What's The Story Morning Glory"
For All That Which Is Hidden In Deepest Darkness,
Shall But Come Forth Into The Light & Be Known...
Thus Secrecy always increases the risk of foolish mistakes.
If the withheld opinions are sound, why fear letting them
see the light of day? Is there ever a justification in a
government of law for keeping what one believes to be the law secret?
Some may say releasing the opinions will lead to more embarrassment.
To this, there are two answers. First, what is most important is that
we get it right and remain true to our country’s values.
Second, the best way to restore our reputation is to
confront our mistakes openly and then resolve not to repeat them.
Some also say that releasing opinions on, for example, torture,
may give terrorists a window into what techniques we do &
do not use. Again, this has it backwards.
The world should know we reject the tactics of the enemy.
Right There Ol' Johnny "dont look back in anger even
if we have to spend more time, energy, effort &" Cash.
Still sometimes "the ol finger" still has it's place & merit.
For even from within we shall reject the tactics of the enemy.
So Even If We Give Those who well Deserve it...
The Proverbial Finger That Is & Reject It As We Should
We Shall Still Forever Believe In... "Don't Look Back In Anger"
Thus in this belief & hope we shall set to restore both
our Constitution and America’s reputation,
and thus strengthen us at home and abroad.
A good start would be to release the secret opinions
of the Office of Legal Counsel.
So take that look from off your 'face'
For You ain't ever gonna burn my heart 'out'
Thus...
May the force be with you & may there be something 'even'
bigger to look forward to instead of looking back in 'anger'
“So when anger rises, think of the consequences”
If it is possible, as far as it depends upon you,
be at peace with all men. Rom. 12:18
