perfidy

This, I found interesting:

Providence is the idea that God has blessed this country.  That its wealth, power and position in the world was due to God.  Providence is not a reward, because it’s a gift, but it isn’t luck either, which is random (unless you believe in the Lady that should not be named and she is a lady and like many ladies she favors the ones that abuse her).

...If it is only luck, not only do you not appreciate what you have, but you feel guilt for having something you do not deserve.

This is exactly what the world and our leaders, and the people who envy Americans, meant for the people in this country to feel because it is easy to take everything from a person that feels guilty about all the things he has that he does not deserve.

A guilty person does not protest when the government taxes the life out of him, because he does not deserve better.  He does not fight back about injustice, because his life really is an injustice from his perspective.  It isn’t fair that he has more.

It is certain that the idea of providence, or Providence, has entirely dropped out of our common discourse.  Like many things that have disappeared, perhaps it shouldn't have.
