"What do you expect from the courts and society?" - Timothy Huntly

I expect to be judged, condemned, hated, feared, persecuted, ostracized, spit upon, insulted, abused, and eventually killed. But, I hope to be embraced, loved, forgiven, and allowed once more to participate constructively with other people, and even children. My «hope» may seem unrealistic, but to me it is very real, and is what keeps me going in the face of the delusion of condemnation that presently engulfs all of us. My hope my not manifest in my lifetime; but it doesn't matter. Someday it will, someday we will see each other as One and the Same Entity, and we will love those who slip momentarily out of our embrace, and bring them closer rather than push them away. There will be no crime, no police, and no prisons in such a world. There will only be One Mind, and One Will; no ignorance, or fear. And we will be more free as individuals than we have ever been! That is my hope, and it is what ultimately compels me to write for the Fifth Nail. Even though what I write, no matter what I write, will continue to be condemned by the fearful masses for now, in my words my hope shines through for those with eyes to see, and the courage to love when so many can do no more than hate. Shasta was one. And the power of her love showed me «The Way» as no Christian proselytizer ever will. What her love did for me is proof that such a world is not only possible, but already on the way!
