'RAISING AWARENESS'

RAISING AWARENESS IS THE BIGGEST FRAUD FROM THE 1960'S. WHAT DOES AN AWARENESS WITHOUT CONTENT OR CONSEQUENCES ACCOMPLISH? BETTER A VISITATION TO EXAMPLES OF NOBILITY AND IGNOMINY, THAT IS, STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS.

TWO PEOPLE COMMENCED AND PURSUED A LOUCHE EXTRA-MARITAL AFFAIR IN THE EARLY 1980'S EVEN THOUGH THE MAN WAS MARRIED WITH 3 CHILDREN. A REVIEWER OF A BOOK WRITTEN BY THE 2ND WOMAN (AND LATER WIFE) NOTED THAT "WITHIN THE RAPTURE AND FRESH SENSE OF POSSIBILITY, THERE WAS AN AWARENESS OF THE PAIN THEY WERE CAUSING OTHERS AND, INEVITABLY THEMSELVES." NEVERTHELESS, THESE SELF-CENTERED INDIVIDUALS SUCCUMBED TO WEAKNESS, A SYMPTOM OF THE 60'S LEGACY.

IN CONTRAST LET US LOOK AT AN EXAMPLE OF NOBILITY AND STRENGTH. "WHERE HE GALLOPS, THE EARTH SINGS." THIS EPITAPH TO KELSO WHO DIED IN 1983, REMINDS THOSE LIVING THAT WHEN HE GALLOPED, THE WORLD WITNESSED A PAEAN TO EQUINE PERFECTION. HIS SUCCESS WAS NOT GUARANTEED FROM BIOLOGY OR 'WRITTEN IN THE WIND.' FRACTIOUS AND UNPREDICTABLE, KELSO NEEDED TO BE GELDED TO UNLEASH HIS COURAGE AND SPEED. HIS CAREER IN THE EARLY 1960'S, RACKED UP 53 WINS, PLACES AND SHOWS OUT OF 63 STARTS.

THE MAN LOST IN THE RAPTURE OF HIS MASCULINITY SHOULD HAVE BORROWED A PAGE FROM KELSO'S RACING FORUM AND 'NEUTERED' HIS FEELINGS WHEN TEMPTED, BUT HE DID NOT. HE APPROACHED LIFE FROM THE STANDPOINT OF WEAKNESS. A DUMB BEAST LIKE 'KELLY,' THE GREAT RACEHORSE, RAN FROM A POSITION OF STRENGTH WHEN HIS "WITHERS WERE UNWRUNG."
