It’s right there in front of our face, the enormous amount of energy and effort we human beings can put forward when we’re prompted to come when we believe in something, when there is something in it for us, when it allows us to forget -if only for a while! But humans unfortunately, in most cases, are just as to not put forth such an effort when it comes to facing certain realities, when it comes to benefiting others rather than themselves. LOOK AT ALL THE ENERGY [AND FOCUS] EXPENDED THESE PAST FEW DAYS ON DJOKOVIC IN AUSTRALIA, AND SAVE FOR AN INITIAL WHIMPER, NOTHING MORE ON THE REFUGEES STUCK IN LOMBO FOR YEARS! AND IF WE COMMON PEOPLE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT -WHAT WOULD THAT BE? WHY CAN’T THOSE OF US SITTING IN OUR LIVING ROOMS HAVE AN IMPACT ON SUCH MATTERS? WHY?
If only more of us were motivated by concern, compassion, charity, and less by curiosity!
We vote in politicians too represent the wishes of the American people. But something seems to get lost in the translation. Half the time, politicians fail to follow thru siting among other reasons “resistance from the opposition” -right? Then there are those annoying things that surface after the election, polls done publicly often reflect one view of the public, and an entirely different outcome, set of decisions by the government itself which begs the questions “WHOSE RUNNING OUR GD COUNTRY?” The fact of the matter is this, if the people were running this country, their selfishness [and self-centeredness] would leave little room for that of the politicians’ [selfishness and self-centeredness] themselves. Again, what is the point of being elite if your not going to be treated differently from everyone else? GD THAT IS NOT THE POINT OF BEING ELECTED! POLITICIANS ARE NOT ICONS!!!!!!!! THEY’RE PUBLIC SERVANTS!!!!!!!! THIS INCLUDES JUDGES WHO WE’RE OFTEN DIRECTED TO TREMBLE IN THE PRESENCE OF -UPON ENTERING A COURTROOM?
