Loyalty..

 The loyalty of a dog is not mindless.  It is born of love.

Love is the basis.  Not fear.

Name it. Family.  Friends.  Associates.  Freedom.  We love these.  And more.

Love is healthy, giving.  

Taking an oath is an expression of loyalty.  Of course, it can be for weal or woe.  To country or to the fallen, there is a difference.

I've never taken an oath.  My loyalty is, however, to God and country.  That's no secret.

What is a secret might be those thing, as said, that might fall into the wrong hands.

Yonder, there is no love.  Loyalty is fear by force.

Love.  Do what's right.  The birth of loyalty.

Loyalty persistently restores.

Baffle

 Let's suppose there is a creature, the epitome of evil.

This creature supposedly rises to power solving insurmountable trouble.

Well, problems are NOT insurmountable.  They might be tough, but they are solvable.  This has been proven.

Let's say further that things were bad, then they got better.  Then the darkside took over through deceit etc and things got bad again.

Now, if someone and several put a stop to the resurgence, it will go beyond a doubt that we can fix things ourselves.

Only when 'allowed' can and do circumstances seem overwhelming.  That is the deception.

One of the creature's labels is 'great deceiver'.  Keep that in mind.

So this darkness can be vanquished.  God wins.

Bafflement precedes that.

No wonder they hate us for Restoring the Republic.

Costar Or Support

 Roddy McDowell possibly missed an Oscar by misplacement.

For Cleopatra, he was listed as a leading or costarring actor instead of a supporting actor.  As it was printed that way, strict rules couldn't change it, so he wasn't considered for BSA and trounced for BA.  

Rules are rules as printed anyway huh?

Stars, costars, supporting actors all play an important part in show structure.  Sometimes there is imbalance.

I'll leave you to find instances.  

There is sometimes a 'star' who doesn't like 'competition'.  He/she thinks supporting actors are subservient and can be controlled.  The light is on the star alone.  

Well, it doesn't always swing that way.  Depends on a lot of factors, including talent and presence or opportunity to show some stuff.  

Puffed up feathers can be plucked.  

One can see this pattern beyond showbiz, into many facets of life.

My advice:  If possible avoid the star and do your own thing.  Give each a chance to shine.

Copy..

 Plagiarism, the plague of creativity.  It's common and no wonder secrets are protected.

I research.  I have not written books about such, but I could.  

My studies go way back before many current writers have published.  I have the notes to prove it.  

My reason for not publishing are my own.  Some secrets are closely kept.

I have known a few who share this knowledge and they are quite private.  It is difficult to express reasons save that all boils down to tyranny and Freedom.  The cliche of 'wrong hands' comes to mind.  

I have stated before there is increased interest/traffic about my work.  And some of my work has been copied ie stolen.  This is minimal and controlled, but it is enough to prove the point of theft.  

Even among noted work this happens.  One scholar had his pen and notebook poised, eager to harvest what I may know.  Didn't work.  I cut contact with him.  

There are methods of intrusion to spy and steal unwarranted information.  

There are methods to thwart them.

Spies do just that.  The reason again comes down to tyranny or Freedom.  Evil or good.

By admitting the above, there will likely be a concentration meant to steal, lie, subborn against my work.

Big ducks in small ponds, no matter how prolific, are greedy.  

The gullible are hungry to lap up whatever sop they spew.  

Be original.
