A huge segment of our society is lost, disconnected, wandering with no direction and resenting authority. They are like a boat without a rudder, like a plane flown with no instruments, like a school with no discipline, like a parent with no tough love, like a child with no respect. Our society is crumbling from the inside due to a rot which is out of control. Most of the reporting of most of our mass media is of negative happenings and opinions. Our entertainers, actors and athletes are using their popularity for their own personal and convoluted thoughts. They misunderstand their role in holding our interest in their fictional or game-like contest with its fictional resolution, and the reality of our daily lives with resolutions that are finalized in pain and suffering and death. The idealism of entertainment, sports and acting do not apply to living together day to day under laws, government and enforcement that is meant to protect us from the outlaw and maverick in our society who thinks nothing of harming the weak and innocent and is idealized in movies, television and the internet.
Thus our role models are too often without the inner compass that is needed to guide us in a subtle way toward happiness and well-being and true caring for our neighbors and friends and relatives, and even casual acquaintances. Too many of our lawmakers are concerned with “dumbing down” and catering to the lowest and forgetting about those who actually are able to think. They forget about their purpose in facilitating the lives of all citizens in an unfettered fashion by guidance, not just over-regulation. These lawmakers should not be forcing issues into politics which should only be worked out by the populace in their daily lives or by the local governments who understand the issues in their own communities. Too often we are using our roles as teachers and parents to lead the young, our own young, into confusion, and not into a healthy balance in their thought processes which require limits, both implied and ingrained.
We are confusing freedom in our system of government with unlimited freedom in our daily lives. Unguided and rudderless, we are dangerously out of control when our children are left at a young age to decide not just what sex they would like to pretend to be, but also what variation of it that they may want to enjoy for as long as it suits them. And now we even inundated with laws to enforce this travesty. Also laws to take away the safety and protection of the unborn. We must ask ourselves, what has happened to the mindset of our lawmakers to even consider this and many other convoluted controls. We can only assume that they also rot from within.
Anyone who really cares about our way of life must insist upon truth brought about by clear and deep thinking, not the latest fad and fraud in the misguided and uneducated opinions of a relative few who are given an undeserved platform by our irresponsible media. Truth is being clouded and overcast by a few puppeteers with unlimited finances who are controlling our thoughts and actions. Out of control, we crumble and rot from within. Do we the downtrodden masses have the will to effect change? Can we swing the pendulum back where it belongs? The lives of each succeeding generation depend on us.
The vast majority needs to wake up to the fact that we are being bullied by those who purvey wrong thinking, and there is only one way to deal with a bully… confrontation. This may take many different forms, but fighting back with a show of force will become necessary and vital. Truth has always won over dark thinking, but someone must make it happen. Let the silent majority get up from its collective ass and go “kick ass!” Now…! Before our present national stupidity becomes irreversible. Carpe diem…!
