Lines Blurred
When I heard it, the usual happened. Words swirled my head, there is always more and so often deeper meaning.
“the innate sense of right and wrong.”
Right and wrong.
I said to someone the other day that over the last 8 years or so, this liberal on some days feels more conservative than the most vocal self professed “conservative”.
Those that I thought or perceived as conservative, today find acceptable things that even this liberal never imagined acceptable.
I have to come to terms with the idea that we’ll never know why. We’ll never hear the true reason they turned their head, held their nose and filled in the circle or pulled the lever, twice. We’ll never know.
We’ll never know how some compared a DUI nearly 30 years ago, to felonies, rape, bankruptcy, fraud, adultery, racism and just everyday verbal abuse to any and all.
Those who use the Bible as their guide, isn’t that the one book that more than any other book speaks to and about right and wrong? Yet, those lines have been blurred. Is God’s law perfect and should we follow it to avoid making wrong choices?
Righteousness – serving God
Evil – rejecting God.
Rejecting God, lines blurred.
Love they neighbor, lines blurred
The Bible forbids bearing false witness, slandering others, Right judgment is commended and being discerning.
Right judgement, lines blurred.
Every person has a conscious, lines blurred.
Read Mathew chapter 24.
Truth is always more important than politics. (Acts 23:1)
It’s more than blurred lines. It’s the changing of all of what once had purpose and a definition that meant something and retained value.
Character.
Morality.
Ethics.
It feels some have, for reasons yet to be known, changed how all of this guides not only how they live, but how they think WE all should live. While saying don’t tread on me, treading on those that don’t fall inline.
And what is that line? Why was *he allowed to move the line, thin it or stretch is range?
Issues are blurred. There are no lines. Issues are dealt with on the surface. There is no depth. Depth would take effort, energy and with that effort to fully understand the issue, one might have to change their mind. Vulnerability feeds and maintains the fear. So we continue on the surface. We all know, each and every one of us that we all want the same thing. But one side admitting that they want the same as the other side, is political suicide. Like that’s more important that life itself or the life we hope to live.
Last election my issue, my one issue, voting for Black excellence, joy, resilience, decency and respect.
