“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

That was a lot of verbiage. Expressed in the conceptual language of his intellect. Did not find it terribly impressive.
I was refering to the innate wisdom that is accessible to to all when judgement is suspended, when reified beliefs are shelved, when societal conditioning is ignored, when ignorance is shattered, when delusions evaporate, and when one comes home to and realizes their true ground of being.
Compassion, empathy, and love is the antidote to the negative societal energies of hate and division that is currently tearing society apart. It's the same negative self centered egoic energy that has torn at the fabric of society at least since the advent of recored history.
But the efforts of the many to scrape off the scales of obscuration, delusion, and duality is worth the continuing effort to do so.
Which is also true in the case of neo-racism The more the forces of anti-racism push, the more paleo-racism they generate in the push-back. Result. More racism.

Not all wisdom. The sacred oak at Dodona comes to mind.

Compassion, empathy, and love also come bearing their shadows.
Hence the admonition, "Meden Agan". Nothing too much. Water may be GREAT to drink, but too much, and you drown.
Even STRIFE can be praiseworthy, in the right amounts.
Often less is more. There is generation from opposites.
