The Damage Fear Can Do
So this gay, Chinese, left-handed, baptist gymnastics instructor goes down to the second amendment protest rally—what is he screaming? I wouldsn’t know and neither would you... after all how many of people carrying these labels around do you know personally or well enough to answer that question? What if I threw in. That he just returned from the local firing range after firing 500 rounds from his semi-automatic long barreled pistol?
Next, meet Carlos Leibovitz a candidate for U.S. Representative . Here is a commercial you probably won’t. Hear.
“Did you know that Carlos took money from big pharma just like me and his ideas on farm subsidies are pretty much like mine, our kids go to the same schools, are income brackets are pretty much the same and if we really analyzed. Things he’s about 80% the same as me on most things and 90% the same on the re3st and. Gee he’s about 70% the same as all you voters.” Now what. Is that % of difference? Well Carlos wants to have an investigation regarding how MedicareCodesneedto be applied to elective surgery.” So Here’s the commercial you might hear.
Carlos Leibovitz wants to take your medical choices away and promotes socialized medicines that won’t. Allow you to work with the doctors you know and trust.
You see you can’t sell minor differences very well because most people. Don’t fear them enough to act.
The result—we are encouraged to support our politicians by promoting the dualistic fear-driven views that. Are promoted. The problem?
What if every political debate started out with a challenge to all the candidates. To identify as many things he or she has in common with the”opponent?” How might that reduce the use of fear-based campaigning—not to mention things like legislating and public service.
Most of the problems that. Government is tasked with approaching cannot be worked upon by only half the country. So what happens because we result to selling fear? The majority party pushes a group of objectives, not because they are important, but because they are no longer too controversial and won’t be the fuel of others who want to invent fear. This means that many significant problems that get worse over time have to wait yet another election cycle.
It is tempting to go on and on about fear in politics and how it sets up dualism. The fact is that all labels attached to humans have now become. Potential seeds from which fear can be grown and distributed.
Unfortunately, now that we face issues that impact. More than half the country we lack the tools to identify common ground and meanings. We have a government-related discourse based upon pushing apart rather than pulling together.
Most Americans want communities to become the best places to live, raise kids, and grow old so what if...
When the advocates marched through Kenosha (regardless of their residency status, the response was to line up along the street or even in the street with buckets of asphalt and shovels so that pot holes could be patched by worried city officials and citizen patrols. What if the construction workers and mechanics in the crowd and in the protest groups were given tools and supplies to create signs but also to paint run down houses and repair schools? What if Instead of having the National Guard patrolling and having curfews, people were allowed to break “curfew to go with the Guard to parks and playgrounds that. We’re to be cleaned and also to plant trees? What if we conquered this fear and showed through love that. We all value safe neighborhoods where we have ownership and pride in belonging? Of course that would mean that we can agree on most important stuff and still engage in. Individual. Differences and take personal responsibility.
All this would take is not putting up with the bullying techniques of labelling, Recognizing that fear selling keeps people’s mind in a mode that. Has them focusing on what they are not rather. Than on the gifts they have and the vast social riches they could create. This creativity explosion would fight off apathy that comes from being weary from all the running back and forth from one mindless extreme to. Another.
Okay enough of a sermon. Today...
Tomorrow we talk about. The fear of missing out so you’d better not miss it and the fear of not being perfect which you had better. Read or you might make a big mistake that everybody sees.
Oh..... just take a look tomorrow.
