It's easy to sweep dust under the rug.

One can just ignore the cow and then move on. They can then make excuses, this makes it easier to justify it. The cow is stupid, it doesn't clean off its shit, it's biology is inefficient; anything to showcase how unworthy the cow is. Anything that can make it justifiable.

This puts one into a position, unwittingly or no, that wanting to learn about Christ does make someone worthy to know about Christ. Ending up; they cast off the idea that anyone can know and learn about Christ, only those select few, acceptable Pharisees may know. Only the worthy may drink from his cup, worthy being those things they set worth, that come ultimately from the fact they don't want to deal with the consequences. As above, below, its easier to keep things as they always have been. Even I fall victim to this, nearly daily. Just look at my society.

Onward, they don't want the responsibility to introduce it. Some would rather hide, just watching. Some will just wait for them to be ordered by some grand assembly. While I can see this as a way to try to be responsible, it can also tie into sweeping dust under the rug, and avoiding the responsibility.

Such is the fact the cows need to stomp through and destroy there way through, or sneak, or subvert.

What else could they do? They had no other way presented to them; they were scoffed from all passersby. Some even making rules to insure no one could push for the cows to speak. Some even erecting walls and such elaborate means just to hide away the dust they refused to deal with. So much money, time, and energy invested just to keep things the same. Ironically maybe they'd have made more simply by inviting the cows out and teaching them.

But they can't do that now either. Such is the fallacy of every gambler on this world, and I'll wager(ha) every other damn world in this universe. Their sunk cost constantly eyed.

"I've already spent too much on keeping the cows already. So much on research on breeding them, tagging them, why let it go to waste."

Such people can't see beyond their machines uses, and are so set they lose the creativity to use their sunk cost for other new measures. Again, working so hard to keep dust under the rug. Fascinatingly sad, isn't it. So much brilliance spent on such a dumb thing.

We are truly ridiculous.

Even worse then, when the father, the mother comes to visit, hoping for the best, and finds the dust, instead of being dealt with, wasn't dealt with. And even worse, that their sons and daughters not only through dust under the rug, not only stopped the cows from learning tactfully and brilliantly used their gifts to blind the cows, steal the cow's own gifts, and possibly worse of all, try to stop them from learning about and following him, the father, her, the mother. Using their own unique gifts, just so that they could avoid dealing with the consequences, and continue business as usual, avoiding their sunk cost, their new responsibility, and simply not giving a fuck.

What'll happen next, hell if I know. But I bet those above do, even if they try to ignore it.

All they have to do, do as they always did, do what they've codified, do what they can to stop others from not doing the same, do what is easy, what is simple, and what lets them continue to life the same old same old; throw dust under the carpet, leaving it for that precious One to so easily find.

Sadly for them, such bumps in the carpet are blatantly obvious, as much as they've trained themselves to ignore it.

As above, below, sadly in this regard.
