There’s been a lot of talk lately about “Woke” and what it means.
I found the answer in a fairy tale.
Martin Selbrede sent me a book, Tending the Heart of Virtue: How Classic Stories Awaken a Child’s Moral Imagination, by Vigen Guroian, featuring a chapter on “The Snow Queen” by Hans Christian Andersen.
“Once upon a time the devil invented a magic mirror” that would reflect all things beautiful as ugly, and all things ugly as beautiful. The mirror broke into innumerable pieces which found their way into people’s hearts and eyes and made them see good as evil, evil as good, etc.
That’s what “Woke” is. And no wonder the Far Left Crazy loves it.
Woke persons see evil as good and good as evil, wisdom as foolishness and foolishness as wisdom, love as hate and hate as love–George Orwell saw nothing that Hans Christian Andersen hadn’t seen before. But Isaiah saw it first (“Woe to those who see evil as good and good as evil,” Isaiah 5:20).
The whole Far Left Fun-Pak is nothing but those pieces of the devil’s mirror–with a few evil wrinkles, like transgender mania, that Andersen never thought of, nor Orwell.
We pray the LORD removes those icy splinters.
Ephesians 2:1 tells us mankind is dead in their trespasses and needs a new birth. Until people are born-again as Jesus commanded, they cannot see or enter the kingdom of God. Salvation is by grace, something God does, it is not a result of our good works. Let us pray every day for all of mankind to come to the knowledge of the truth and so be saved.
I must be somewhat illiterate; I have never heard of “The Snow Queen,” by Hans Christian Andersen, although I have read some of his other works. That story truly mimics and portrays the insanity, absurdity, and irrationality of the events which are increasing at a rapid rate in the Western World. It’s a powerful illustration of a fairy tale come true. But this tale is a nightmare come to pass.
A professor was fired, because a few students protested and complained he taught there were only two sexes, male and female. What was truly absurd, not that a few delusional students complained, but that the college gave in to that insanity! A documentary film, which title was based upon a question Matt Walsh asked many supposedly well-educated people. And it truly seemed the more degrees they had, the more ignorant they had become, for most could not answer, nor wanted to answer that simple question. Promoting morbidly obese women as a new standard of beauty, and a healthy life-style and not something to be shunned. Celebrating the murder of unborn children…
Many on the Far Left, truly, do not know what evil is. And really are blind. Today, in many cases, there is no question who is walking in God’s Light, and in the footsteps of Satan.
Hence the tag, “College makes you stupid.”
Another definition I’ve seen is simpler, but fits the bill, too. Woke is authoritarianism.
