When the Chickens Come Home: A Wake-Up Call to Conscience

We live in a time where the world is heavy with activity—some good, much of it troubling. At times, we find ourselves caught up in global conflicts, pulled into chaos by our allies or the threat of danger to our nation.


But when you step back and look at the bigger picture, it all seems to come down to one timeless truth: what goes around comes around.


Call it karma. Call it reaping what we sow. Whatever the term, there is a mysterious but undeniable law at play in this world. When we do good, good somehow returns. When we sow harm—whether as individuals or nations—that harm circles back.


We call certain things “scientific laws” because we’ve observed them consistently over time: gravity, motion, energy, thermodynamics. But the truth is, we don’t really know why they work—we just know they do.


Maybe this ancient principle of sowing and reaping belongs in that same category. Maybe it’s not superstition. Maybe it’s just science we haven’t figured out yet.


For generations, America has had a dual nature. We’ve done some terrible things—genocide of Native Americans, the enslavement of Africans, cruel treatment of immigrants—but we’ve also been one of the most charitable nations on Earth.


We’ve fed the hungry, protected the weak, and offered aid to those devastated by war or disaster. That generosity may be the very thing that’s kept us afloat.


But now we stand at a different crossroads. The scales are tipping. We are no longer simply observing injustice—we are justifying it. Our politics have become a sport where truth doesn’t matter, only winning.


Hostility is normalized, even celebrated. We’ve embraced what we know is wrong, simply because it’s convenient, or it serves our side.


That kind of moral erosion doesn’t stay in the realm of politics. It seeps into the soul of a nation. It becomes who we are.


Take the case of Israel and Palestine. For over 70 years, the Palestinians have endured displacement, abuse, and dehumanization. Yet many still blindly side with Israel, not because it’s right, but because it’s familiar, powerful, and politically expedient. Israel recently struck a sovereign nation—Iran—and when Iran responded, we didn’t flinch at the provocation.


We rushed to defend the aggressor. Now, we are entangled. Spiritually, morally, and practically. And the question becomes: what will we reap from this?


It’s time we stop and take a hard look—not just at what we’re doing, but who we’ve become. We must align ourselves with what is good, just, and true—not out of fear, but out of wisdom. Because the laws of cause and effect do not care about flags, power, or politics. They only care about the seeds that were sown.


We’ve never truly been attacked on a massive scale—not like other nations. But if we keep aligning ourselves with war, with lies, with bullies and injustice, then the protections we’ve long taken for granted may slip away.


Let’s not trade our future for temporary alliances. Let’s not sell our soul for a false sense of security. It’s not too late—but it is getting late.
