Home » When We Cease To Care and Find Fault.

I guess we are all guilty of this at some point, that is when we cease to care and find fault. It seems to be always easier to find the fault in others and rarely with ourselves. Speaking as a Christian we are supposed to start with ourselves, sort of pulling the plank out of our own eye. My eye seems to be cluttered at times, although I try hard to wear the other persons shoes before making judgement. I feel I am open to hear anothers perspective.  I do not think that is unreasonable for anyone, just prudent and true to ones beliefs.  Yes prudence before all else. 

 

Now concerning this election and our leaders we are encouraged to consider, to know, to choose wisely so in the act of discerning we are judging them on their work and not what we like about them that is the outside shell. Is it not the same when we are evaluated at work? We are to use the same principals of considering everything, making sure. We should be  focusing on the facts, not tolerate, accept, condone or ignore reality. Is that not how we expect to be evaluated or just be told "I think".

Ok, what do I mean by that? Well this election has created sort of a storm and yes conflict between people over who is best to run this nation. Hey that is what elections are about, the for and against. Now we will never change everyones views about what they think, but we can understand why there are those who like and dislike these candidates, the parties, our government,  It amazes me they who like them are in the minority but they prevail election after election.  That is way beyond comprehension, yet I understand apathy. Then we have those that hate for hates sake and could care less about issues, facts, truth.  No real reason other then they have been brought up to hate and many do not even see it that way.

 

I was watching a show concerning Afghanistan the other night. It seems that everyone there has a blood feud against another, they have for centuries. Sort of the Hatfield and McCoy type thing. Yet let a stranger come in and they unite against them. It has been this way for thousands of years and no one could really conquer them. They are a thorn in ones side. Now they are all extremely religious, practicing their way to heaven and they profess mind you they serve the God of Mercy, compassion and love. Rhetorically I find that very odd they do not put what they profess into works or love, the highest level of attainment in their religion for a soul, while they take killing the infidel quite serious. It is a question of contridiction that is a quandry for many.

 

So just what am I getting at? We are all creatures of professing one thing while many times doing the opposite. God, and I can only speak for the God I believe in, says to leave it all up to Him and let Him guide your way. He preaches even love of your enemy. Now how does one try to do that? Well, when we follow His commands and precepts, His rules so to speak, all our thinking is filled with love, compassion, mercy, caring. How naive to think man can do this or even will do this. Sure we profess it but does it show in our works, common now, only the minority.

As for our leaders, they, yes they, made greed acceptable, condoned it, approved of it and actually reaped the benefits of it. The laws they wrote and write support that. The votes they made or didn't support that. The bailouts for their irresponsibility, yes theirs, onto our shoulders proves that. Yet many would sadly point the finger at others, average people struggling to survive, not splurging, eating out, going to the World Series. NO those who have no alternative left to  pay for medicine, a doctor, the rent, to fix the car to go to work, working two jobs or none at all. Wrong certainly when you can't pay, yet what are the causes that bring it about? We can feel for illegals who break the law and come here because they need to make a living for their families but have no care or concern for our very own, amazing. We can persecute our own and label them and then justify that to ourselves, amazing. When We Cease To Care and Find Fault.

Yet many who have may be very close to the same position as the ones they label? Hanging by a thread. So when one lumps everyone together as irresponsible it says a lot about that person. It really does. Yes and many of these types will vote for they who performed the acts that created this situation and torn this nation apart. Yes and actually put them back into office while hoping for more. It is that simple. Rhetorically, one wonders how they justify it? I think it all hinges around when We Cease To Care and Find Fault.
