Besides, it didn’t pass the common sense test that great people would perpetuate the same fear-based cycle of self-destructive behavior the last self-defeating generation kept repeating. By grace, the voice of reason inspired wise women and men to pray for the gifted souls Crumb Snatcher “marked for destruction.” But the abused kids adults hurt refused to believe God had predestined them to “achieve greatness.” Cooler heads failed to prevail due to the dysfunctional behavior of “Generation X’ed™.” Alas, humanity’s generational curse only exacerbated their inability to believe they could beat impossible odds and complete impossible tasks with God’s help. But one person did.
Manchild objectively observed how opposing inferiority complexes clashed with the self-perceived superiority that gave self-deceived, co-dependent cliques a false sense of security. His compulsive analysis of their self-hatred induced the paralysis that crippled his clout. The side effects of his own self-hatred stunted his personal growth and prematurely arrested the development of his leadership skills. But the optimistic one kept laying aside the stinkin’ load of unduly burdensome dirty laundry unresolved personal conflicts and misunderstandings dumped in his way. Undeterred by Unpopularity, Manchild’s castigated soul managed to remain hopeful, peaceful, and non-violent.
To impede Change, the president of Ain’t Fairusee, Inc. hired an assassin to keep Manchild from crossing Jordan’s River and steppin’ out of the darkness. Profit predators believed the desired end always justified the brutal means their barbaric Babylonian investors chose to conserve their indulgent lifestyles. Although detoured and detained against his free will, something deep within Manchild’s soul refused to remain shackled and chained to the insanity of a win-at-all-costs slave mentality. When least expected, the “gift of Greatness” inspired him to do what hadn’t been done. But nobody had ever loved Generation X’ed™ unconditionally. So, they despised, ridiculed and rejected him.
