THE MAJORITY: UNCOMMITTED UNCONCERNED AND UNAWARE - Garner Ted Armstrong - February 1977

Garner Ted Armstrong

It's crazy time. Alarm and apathy shouldn't mix, nor "Christian gunmen," but they do. Today, when awesome world events demand urgent action, when frightening trends in conditions demand the soberest contemplation, when violence, kidnappings, assassinations, murders, civil wars, hijackings, and the toppling of governments should cause the deepest introspection, the millions doze. Famine with flatulence, emergency with ease, crisis without concern: none really mix. Yet they prevail. What about you? Would you go to a poker game in a burning house? Swim in a typhoon? Fly serenely into a thunderstorm? Walk lazily through a mine field? Liberally lace your scotch with arsenic? Lie down to sleep on a sinking ship? It's time you wondered about the paradox of apathy in a time demanding total commitment. Few humans are truly aware. Oh, we become sensitized to the little things - things that affect our daily lives in some important way - like joblessness, low wages, high taxes, soaring insurance rates, or gun control. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
