The Astute and the Dumb

The astute and the dumb are found on this road we traverse; the one with goals to set, the other with no character, interest or talent... can both coexsist and not clash? Which one of these two individuals can survive a biological warfare without discipline and knowledge? Most certainly, the one has studied the activities of the superior minds that somehow seem invincible to whatever they encounter on the battlefield or in the menacing air. This is not a war between two mythical gods, Jupiter and Saturn; who took the side of the courageous Titans? Today, nobody is immune to such an Apocalypse event, it may partly or entirely destroy our unique planet on any erratic, or maddened moment. Let the mindful guide the careless and diverge them from their dramatic fate. If History is a testament of lies and truth, can it be meditated by some who are about to repeat the mistakes of the fools? The astute will prevail in any given circumstance, the dumb will be subdued for his ignorance and imprudence.
