This last oracle was not bailing anyone out of any problem, despite the fact that many people were coming to reach for one solution or the other. That we have a priest who served this oracle give us the Ideology that we can. Give the Oracle a goat or even the blood of a human and appease the Oracle for something good to happen.
It took us years to understand that lives work by sowing and reaping. Whatever you sow, you will reap and by this you have to work harder and. Nature and life circumstances with whatever you say to it has a way of bringing back your expectation back unto you, and you will be joyful when you see the harvest.
But instead of us turning towards walking harder or smarter, we work towards getting a Oracle to sit in our houses.In our home, in our farms, in our working places, believing and trusting that this is the effigy, the stone or the firewood that has been carved out that saved us from all our travel.Only few people were able to come out of this indoctrination or idolatry.
