"My son. My son. Your bravery is glorious. Your death only a truly great soul can achieve. You fought for what you believed to be right. As a soldier it was your duty. The politics were not something you measured. It was simply your duty to fight even though we were under Russian rule for the last hundred years. You remained faithful to your sense of duty."
"But now, Oh my son, you've been killed and your body thrown into the river. You have left me alone in my old age. Who will take care of me? Fix the roof, get my medicines, sit with me and let me hold you and remember your childhood antics. You were so beautiful. And a good child. A bit naughty at times, like when you got the neighborhood boys together to raid Herra Viraten's apple orchard. You didn't take that many apples, just enough for you and your friends to nibble that afternoon. He was very angry but when he saw you and the boys smiling with half eaten apples he had to laugh. But he warned you not to do this again. Saying, " How will I support my family if I have no apples to sell in the market?" You looked down and felt ashamed. What did a six year old know about selling in the market?"
"Oh My son. Your body has been thrown into the River Tuonela which flows down into the lower planets. But I have retrieved it. I see the messenger of Ukko in the form of a bee carrying a special honey that will release you from death."
"This is all so wonderous. The world is a place of miracles."
This is based on the backstory for the painting according to Wiki. I hope my embellishment of it does not fall into the category of plagiarism. I simple wanted to present some enactment of what might be going on. And maybe capture an emotional dimension.
"Painting by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, depicting a scene from Kalevala, a Finnish epic poem. The warrior Lemminkäinen had been killed, his body hacked to pieces and thrown into the dark river that flows through the underworld, Tuonela. His mother, having collected the parts from the river and sewing them back together, looks up to see a single bee bringing back honey from the halls of the god Ukko, a wondrous ointment that would bring her son to life." Wiki

It's the year of the snake, a good year to achieve goals with the hand of creativity. If ti comes to time...it's also what it ignored and wasted most of all.
I am taking a sort of break. It's still winter or better winter again. Cold, cold, cold, frozen food and icy nights.

I am not sure if that's the reason and if that's the case it means they don't like to read (no surprise), they don't like to entertain themselves, they haven't met people to talk with (how come? Never left a comment behind?) but in short: I am happy to see you back and I hope this year will only get better.
A warm embrace to you!

Ah. The real purpose of "social media" Happy to know you are there. A bit of dark time here. But it's always darkest before the dawn...
"This morning serious questions arise (not for the faint of heart):
Where is there real happiness that never ends? They say in serving God. But where is the proof? Death, suffering and struggle for existence that ends in failure is everywhere. Is faith simply a kind of blissful ignorance? Religion the opiate of the masses?"

Since you ask me.. Thebanswwr is YES. That's all there is friend. If bread & games don't work to keep the mind distracted and focused there's religion. The only bottle neck is you shouldn't use your brain, think, consider, question. If you can do that you can live on your pink cloud and have your happiness — which no one can take away from you.
All you need is truckloads of faith, tunnel vision, being deaf and dumb — blind would help as well.
Who are they?
Most lilely not those with the shiny faces, looking super healthy, enjoying l8fe 24/7.
Yes and yes

Thankyou for your response. I see it like this: Religion is a practical construct. The rules of most of the major religions are good. Keeps human society from sinking too far into animal life. (We're not too far from animal life at this time.) Faith allows people to follow the rules of religion. But spirit is something else. It is energy. consciousness. We all know there is something beyond our limited sense perception. (Except for the Buddhist, they say there is nothing.) Spiritual energy or consciousness is what allows us to tap into those mysteries. Yoga is what it is usually referred to. Yoga meaning ... to connect. Association with others who are eager to tap into the higher consciousness is helpful. Enlivening each other and sharing realizations and experiences. Take care my friend.
