“You can’t please everyone.”

 


“You can’t please everyone.” This is a statement that has been handed down to us for generations. Our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents knew it to be true. Unfortunately pleasing everyone at the same time will never be possible. We are humans, we don’t all think the same or even want the same things.

 

Here in the USA in less than three hundred years we built what was considered the greatest nation on earth. Just look at us now. Arguing amongst ourselves as we go through some pretty, tough, growing pains. We, at this point in time are our worst enemy. Not China, not Russia, or North Korea. Ourselves. Being such a great nation is why people from all over the world want to come here. They strive to have what we have. It is sad that we as a nation have taken what we have for granted.

 

We are a land of diverse people. “You can’t please everyone.” We as a nation have to find some common ground in order to survive. In order to remain strong enough to keep our enemies at bay. The talk of states seceding from the union is both stupid and dangerous. So many right now need to take a step back, calm down, and start to form rational thoughts. A state without a country these days won’t stand on its own very long. “Together we stand united we fall,” is not just a cute saying…it holds water.

 

There is no such thing as a perfect political party, both our main parties are seriously flawed. Both have good ideas as well as bad. Both have some decent people and both have some crooks. What took us as a nation hundreds of years to build, we may destroy in only one generation. I realize that change is hated by most everyone, but it is coming whether we like it or not. It is up to us to steer these changes in a direction that won’t destroy us or leave us vulnerable to our enemies. Common sense seems to be somewhat lacking these days. Words and actions are our most valuable tools we have, use them wisely.

It would be an honor to have you follow my blog. Your comments are welcome, whether you agree with me or not. Have a great Day. 

PS. If you like it or hate it...share it.

The World is Watching

 


Most that know me, know that I just do not buy into a bunch of conspiracy theories. I tend to put more stock into rational thought. Respect is earned and I respect people most that show that they have common sense. Not loud mouths. Right now it seems that our nation is plagued with loud mouths and a lack of common sense.

 

The whole world is watching us as we self-destruct among ourselves. The civil war has already begun, just on a different battlefield than before. Political agendas are probably the root of all our problems. Both sides, not just one side. And what fuels these different agendas is the same as it has always been…greed and power. Once greed and power has been attained it isn’t easily given up.


 

On the daily there are arguments erupting on every social media site over the Covid-19 virus. Granted, we may never know the true origin of the Covid-19 virus, the one fact is that it is here, and it is real. Keeping people safe, doing our part to keep others safe is not a political agenda. It is however a human agenda. If you let a political party dictate doing what is morally right or wrong, you have already lost your way. Right and wrong is not about politics.

 

No matter which side of the political fence you are on, if your views, opinions, and actions concerning the Covid-19 virus are based strictly on politics you may want to do some soul searching. You alone are responsible for your thoughts and actions. It doesn’t matter which side puts safety practices in place or favors them, it is our duty to follow them if there is a chance that our actions will help others. That is the right thing to do. So many right now are fueled by ignorance or the outright stupidity of others. Which side of the pandemic will your actions fall under…right or wrong?
