Everyone on Earth is Amenable to Earth

Everyone on Earth is amenable to Earth. Bar None.
“Amenable” means : “willing to agree or to accept something that is wanted or asked for;
able to be controlled, organized, or affected by something.”
Thus, All human beings—indeed, everything on Earth—is able to be controlled by, organized, or affected by, this Earth, its laws, facts, and fellow creatures. These thoughts come to mind as I meditate on Memorial Day menus, many of which definitely consist of one or more kinds of pork.
Malcolm X, most prominently, mercilessly vilified pork, --and pork eaters,--even though he and his father ate pork, before Malcolm became a Muslim in prison. Upon his release from incarceration, Malcolm became amenable to the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, founder of the Nation of Islam. As he had pork, Malcolm, following his forced estrangement from the Nation of Islam, in the 1960’s, Malcolm also vilified the Hon. Elijah Muhammad for his alleged serial adulteries.
Mr. Muhammad’s book, HOW TO EAT TO LIVE, survives the deaths of both great, black men, Malcolm and Muhammad. That fact, alone, is a testament to, and ample demonstration of, the fact that everyone on Earth is amenable to Earth. Bar None. Therefore, whether you eat pork or not; eat beef or not; eat fish or chicken or not; or eat meat or not, your death is nevertheless assured on Earth.
What is more all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Malcolm a convicted thief, pimp and burglar can hardly vilify his teacher Muhammad, given his own history. Similarly, Muhammad, a native of Georgia—and an intergenerational pork-eater—not to mention, convict, and alleged adulterer, can hardly castigate what or how other’s eat, given his history, and aberrant form of North American Islam.
The point is this enjoy your holiday, and each dietary delectable of whatever they may consist! And praise God for the provision of such subsistence, as I do in my own book, THE COLORED GREEN TREE!
All things are of God. Thus, nothing of God is not good; indeed, everything God had made is very good!
