A David is born, whenever a Goliath gets arrogant about his strength. Goddess Kali is born whenever oppression increases. Tsunamis unleash their force on the world, when the ocean is unable to contain its angst.
The pride of those at the receiving end prevents them from seeing the connection. They like to deceive themselves that the reaction does not correspond to their actions. The still like to think they are God, and they are always right.

This is wise and just reflection and wisdom. Too much pride asks for diminution. People who believe they are never wrong are begging to be brought down with wrong.
Well-crafted work!

Thank you so much! The ugliest form of power is trying to control other thinking beings, not just material objects.

I love the message here – oppression contains the seeds of its own destruction – oh, but it takes so long.
