I sometimes wonder what people are thinking. How could you do this? What were you thinking? Really?
Instinctively I would like to hug and love all people, but through a
lifetime of conditioning I have unfortunately learned to keep a “comfortable
distance”. It’s sad actually. Why is it that our society has a collective
cold shoulder to the world? We quickly
judge one another and lay down verdicts without taking a moment to discover an
underlying truth.
The political world is the perfect example of shoot first,
ask questions later. Worse, it appears
from this vantage point, no questions are even bothered being asked, at least
not the truly important ones. For
instance: How will this benefit the
betterment of humanity as a whole?
The government as a whole has a head so big, how they fit it
through any doorway is beyond me. This
could be reason why they feel the need to blow the doors off somebody’s home
before taking the time to knock, and politely ask to come in.
With all sarcasm aside; we cannot go on living life this way
any longer. Where is the
compassion? I see a lack of value for
human life. The government’s answer to
conflict is to create more of it. Eye
for eye they say. One group hurts
another, and what’s the answer? Make them pay, it’s their turn to suffer. And
then to justify their means it’s always the same game; Who’s on board? Are you with us or against us? Patriot or
traitor?. It’s a simple power play. They push us to take a side, peddling fear
like it was our last meal. Eat this or
else. Enjoy what we have to offer or
suffer the consequences and be labeled a traitor starving alone, on your own.
I say We start asking the questions. Tell Me why we should believe those who have
consistently lied to us. Blatantly told
us one thing and done another. How can
we even begin to trust someone, or a group of someone’s that only use words to
empower themselves? We cannot. Now is the Age of Transparency. If these politicians make promises to “We the
People”, they should be held accountable.
If there promises fall through the deep cracks upon Capitol Hill, then
we the majority will have the choice and the power to vote them out. Where honor is a precious commodity, it’s
high time we take action and restore justice to a country that was built upon
such principles.
Our collective voice has been hushed too long. We do have a voice, and it’s time to be heard
is now! Take action. Let the government know we do not agree with
their agendas. No longer will we sit
quietly and live under a hood of injustice.
If the present leaders cannot lead, then we as a whole must find those
who can. A leader who is humble enough
to be willing to speak and act upon the best intentions of the whole, these are
the people we desperately need to guide us into a brighter world.
I am a peaceful person at heart, but do not mistake my
nature for that of someone who is willing to have the wool pulled over my
eyes. I am awake and my eyes see the
discontent within our Nation’s people.
In a land built upon freedom and liberty, I look around and see these precious
gifts being pulled out from under our very feet. It’s a smoke and mirror show. The government disguises their true
intentions within a cloud of lies and deception. They strategically pull at our emotions to
engage us to get on board with their questionable politics. All the while their motives are being fueled
by efforts to further promote agendas that lie hidden behind closed doors.
For some of us it may seem easier to wear rose colored
glasses and say to our self that all is fine and the government has our best
interests at hand, but these glasses are no longer serving us. We are falling prey to those who are but a few,
compared to the many of us. With so few
people pulling the strings that have a power to control so many, we must
questions their ethics and moral standings on life. If what we see is creating unease within us,
then it is our duty to make a difference.
Power is meant to be diverse. It
should reflect the highest intentions of the whole. I believe that we absolutely need key advocates
to represent that of the greater good.
It is those that choose to lead with a humble heart and a fierce courage
that will best be able to carry forth the torch of true freedom and
liberty.
If we care about our self and the well being of our brothers
and sisters in life, then it is you and I that must carry the torch to a brighter
future for our self, our children, and our children’s children forever more.
Much Love,
