Morality
among we humans is a very funny thing. For
starters, each of us has our own pet peeves and we all share an aversion to personally
reflecting in our own moral mirror. Not
one of us should feel comfortable espousing attitudes of moral superiority but
we do so every day, almost every hour if we are honest with ourselves. Our presidential election conflict is a case
in point. There is no morally superior
candidate for president although each is consuming extraordinary energy to
convince we the voters of just that fact.
A rule of thumb, them that claim the moral high ground by disparage others
really have none of their own and them that have the moral high ground seem to
ignore the moral lapses of others.
This rule of
thumb may or may not be a truism but it has been suggested by many years of observing
human character flaws, both my own and others.
I grew up in the very evangelical church world and witnessed this truism
played out regularly from church sinners and church saints. The mature Christian hearts never dumped lapses
of morality on particular people but were adamant about principle. Those less mature believers used the trashing
of people to make a point about a moral principle. Big difference, whether the trashing comes
from the people or the pulpit, this weakness is not a higher spiritual order.
This is not
solely a church problem for it is a universal human character flaw that impacts
each of our days. The God of the heavens
is now rolling around the clouds laughing hilariously at us and our moral childishness. We just refuse to get it. The voters of America are to blame most of
all for the morality fisticuffs prior to the election. Sex sells.
Give the people the opportunity to trash someone else for the guilt they
carry for their own struggles and the important stuff gets buried. Again, it is as plain as the nose on your
face, we as humans and voters are so gullible and so easily manipulated. The Hillary forces have been using this political
campaign tool their entire careers and quite frankly, it is smart.
The question
before us is how long will, we the voters, allow ourselves to be suckered? How long will we allow ourselves to wallow in
this morality play? When will we get
enough satisfaction out of trashing someone else who has more status, more charisma,
more opportunities in life and most of all, more money that he has legally
earned? How long will we ignore what are
good policies for the people? How long
will we ignore the financial pain that the Obama-Clinton dynasty has inflicted
on the people with the current government run economy? How long will we accept political leadership
that betrays and sells the interests of the people for profit? How long will we be lied too?
The God of
the heavens is not laughing, there are tears rolling down his cheeks. His heart
is breaking again, how long?
