It was a sad day for America.
It is a sad time for America, that people have lost faith in our government, a government outlined by our great founding document the US Constitution.
I don't really see what they think would be any better than our Constitution.
America is excellent. Wonderful. Great.
Perfect? No, of course not. But what is?
Can America stand improvement? Of course we can. But that won't happen unless we can agree to end all this hostility. It is OK to disagree. It is not OK to hate. It is the hatred that hurts us the most.
If we had a high sense of respect for one another we'd be able to talk about things and get things done.
But that can't happen because we are so dysfunctional.
So we are stuck. Right where the super rich and powerful want us. Unable to unite on much at all. Perfect for them. We are certainly not about to unite against the rich and powerful. Forget that. That's the whole point of getting us so divided!
And don't kid yourself about why it is like this. If the rich and powerful really wanted to break down some barriers and get us more on the same page they could do that.
We could still have our disagreements; we would simply have a better way of creating policy out of all our individual concerns. And people would understand they can't get everything they want. Extremism and refusing to talk creatively would go back to being the rarity. Understanding, agreeing to disagree, working together positively would be the norm.
I could envision us being that nation. But then I like to be a dreamer sometimes. Dreaming is good. You don't always get what you want, but you do need to try.
And along the way you might find some other pretty cool stuff too, about ridding your life of hatred.
One thing's for sure.
We have got to do better than January 6th, 2021. That needs to be the low point. We don't want to sink any lower than that ever again.
And wouldn't it feel nice treating people like people again? Doesn't the hatred get old?
Hatred doesn't go away all of a sudden one day. It goes away one person at a time, whenever that person decides to end it.
If you've got hatred in you, maybe you should think about moving away from that.
Couldn't hurt. And I gotta tell ya. A life without hatred is a wonderful life.
Each person has to decide for themself when they have had enough hatred.
I did a long time ago. And I am so glad I did. It's fabulous. There is a wonderful life, without hatred.
You can do it too, if you need to and you want to. If you do, you'll totally thank yourself.
And you might then want to share it. As I am trying to do with this post.
And that would be fabulous for America if that got to be a trending thing!
That would make America greater.
