My Personal Arrival At Acceptance

---

I have some good news and I have some bad news. Both of which I will discuss toward the end of this article. Before that I will discuss the life cycle of our Democratic Republic followed by the various stages of grief. The Tytler Model (although there is no documented proof that any real person named Tytler came up with it, Scottish or otherwise) suggests that all democratic type social structures have an identifiable life cycle. This is based on starting off in bondage and then progressing to spiritual faith. After a period of time of spiritual faith while still in bondage, the society develops the courage to throw off the yoke of bondage and establish liberty. With liberty comes freedom to create a society of abundance, where ultimately such abundance is overcome by human nature and a sense of selfishness evolves in that society. At this point, considerable liberty still exists, but spiritual faith begins to decline into a culture of complacency where God’s values are replaced by man’s values, or rather lack thereof. Thereafter complacency morphs into apathy, which overtakes the culture and it is followed, in time, by dependence. Then at some point dependence allows the corrupt government to inflict bondage upon the culture once more, thus completing the cycle.
