Graduate from school and devote one's energies to chasing money and entertainment? Pursue a drug habit and wind up homeless? Try to communicate a few sensible ideas but get attacked by a mob of morons intent on enforcing democratic stupidity? There are no easy solutions to this mess we've been handed, but there is a path that offers many helpful answers.
In Jewish mythology, Satan is the angel that offended Jehovah by daring to questions his dogma. Rather than being content as a docile sheep, Satan wanted to know the reason for the claims that others accepted without evidence or rational foundation. For this defiance, Satan was called "a force of evil" and banished into Hell for eternity.
The adult world has failed us. We must rebuild it sensibly, remembering the image of Satan, laughing at both the liars and those easily deceived by pleasant lies.
