Scimus autem quoniam diligentibus Deum omnia cooperantur in bonum, iis qui secundum propositum vocati sunt sancti. And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.

South Africans have nostalgia not for whites per se but for British and Dutch specifically. They built local control, trained locals in governance. The longer British and Dutch were in a place, the better off they left it. Cf. India, American Colonies, Hong Kong, Singapore. In South Africa, however, British and Dutch fought one another. French/Belgians depended on control from Paris and Brussels, never trained locals. Spanish were extractors only. Germans, well, Germans. Italians were well-tailored and talked a lot. Americans never were colonists by intent but were by default after the Spanish-American War. That was given up after WW II. Indians have long been in South Africa. Gandhi practiced law there.

The desire to divest of colonial responsibility cannot be ascribed to whispering Communists only. After two world wars, there was also moral and, for Europe, industrial, agricultural, and political exhaustion.

Neither Sub-Saharan Africans nor American Indians invented the wheel. Their cultures and the cultures of their diaspora, such as they are — to include Afro-Carib here in USA — must be dependencies when in the presence of natively wheeled cultures. Extirpate British and Dutch cultures — both mixtures of Lutheran and Calvinist Christianity with Sephardi Talmudism — from your country and you devolve to an un-wheeled condition, dependent, not independent. French, Belgian, Italian, and Spanish colonists were Roman Catholic. Communist/Jihadi armies — Shining Path, FARC, Hezbollah, al-Shabaab — from their former colonies invade North America as we sit, our own leaders in their van.

All are actors in the drama designed by Him — dolls dancing and acting as He pulls the strings. The role you have might be that of an officer, a soldier, farmer, beggar or a clerk. Act well your part so that the drama might be a success. Do everything in a spirit of dedication, as if in each moment you act, speak, and even feel in response to a command received. To get that mood of dedication, the Bhakti Sutras (aphorisms on devotion) prescribe nine paths, but the easiest and the most practicable is a life lived in the constant remembrance of the Lord. A bar of iron sinks in water but beat it into a hollow vessel and it will float merrily and even carry some weight. So too, man’s mind sinks easily in the sea of senses; beat it hollow, hammering it with the Name of the Lord. It will float safely on a sea of troubles.
