We expect a lot as a bunch of runaways

You would think that a country built on people running from their home land to avoid religious persecution; we would be more free and open to others opinions.  The only thing that our forefathers took with themselves is the feeling of them being right and others being wrong.

So we killed the natives.
We stole people from their homes and enslaved them.
We denied marriage, equal rights for all and yet that is and was the exact thing we were trying to run from.

I question the integrity of the human soul at times when I see others hurt. 

I question the integrity of the human spirit when we say others are less worthy of food, shelter or money.

I question the integrity of the human condition when we allow humans suffering on the streets with their children.

I question the integrity of the human mind who feels money is more important than kindness.

I question the integrity of the human ego, oh wait, no I don't.

Our souls are meant to be compassionate and yet I hear political arguments about whether we should supply money or food stamps and how those people shouldn't be able to buy certain foods.  YET, no one wants to teach them to live on their income and/or teach them how to purchase healthy foods and eat right for less.  Can they even do it these days?

DO YOU KNOW WHO IS STARVING?  OUR CHILDREN? 

How much would we benefit if Human Services became Humane Services and taught people the benefit of gardening, healthy foods, how to shop on a budget and make your money stretch.  How to plan meals and help your children with homework, or even the basic concept of loving oneself so they have a desire to better themselves.

Instead they run away, some to drugs, others to depression, anger, blame, and we could change the world if we lived off the principle of guidance and help.

If we became HUMANE services not human service.  If we serviced the entire person and not just the symptoms of their suffering.

Lead a horse to water and you can not make him drink, but if you give him the tools to find his way to the water, he will surely drink and appreciate it more.  This is not a model for all, but for most.

Growth is about tools, evolution is about tools, yet we keep running away and blaming.

Also, stop laughing at The People Of Walmart, do you know their story?  How dare we judge!!!!  Let them be themselves, let them have mistakes, let them be who they are with out fear of persecution, isn't that why our forefathers came here? 

When do we stop the persecution and start the humane services.

    1. Chris Edwards, I am not sure if it will ever end. I am not the beginning and end of this conversation. It starts with all of us. It starts with each of us trying to not spread the hate, not spread the violence and not become part of the problem. I guess in the end it takes the little people to at least make an impact in a little area. Hopefully the ripples from their pebble reach out.
