Ok seriously. What
the hell? Just when you think you’ve seen the brink of stupidity in people’s
thinking.. Bruce Jenner walks on the scene. His moment of truth was aired with
a grand total of 17 million viewers. The positive movement behind him is
unbelievable. Don’t get me wrong. What I’m writing here today is not a “smash
piece” I’m not one of the republican/conservative homophobic religious spouting
freedom eating “American made” guns or nothing idiots that you have me figured
out to be. I try to be a realist and like anybody that has any kind of moral
thought life, I strive for truth. My issue isn’t with Jenner. My issue is with
the 17 million that tuned into Jenner’s announcement. You know when it comes to
the conversation of legalized marriage in homosexuality. I think it should
absolutely be legalized. Why? Because regardless of what you may think you know
about Jesus teaching. He was absolutely clear about creating one thing! “free will” for
every man, child and woman. Oh and he was also about love. So without going
into scripture and getting all “preachy” on yo ass. I’ll leave you to read
between the lines. If this country which is “God fearing” can’t understand that
GOD made it so that we could live within our own free will. Meaning YOU CAN
MARRY A GOAT if you really wanted too. Then I guess we really need to wake up.
As long as that person who is marrying a goat does not infringe upon my
freedoms and isn’t murdering, raping ya know all the obvious stuff. Then I don’t
CARE. Live your life the best way you see fit! God it’s like rocket science to
some people. Anyway that’s not the point I’m trying to make.
Some of you that read
this will say.. “Yea nick what’s your point” I don’t care. That’s fine. This is
a
rant and you’re free to move on.
What pisses me off is
this percentage of people that are so ignorantly blind to the REAL problems of
the world. The violent protestors of Ferguson and Baltimore coupled with this
17 million people that represent the KIM KARDASHIAN following simply blow my
mind. People are so wrapped up in the Gossip and the offense of people like
Bruce Jenner! Who is Bruce Jenner? He’s a simple human being. WHO CARES!
Everything in this country is fueled by 3 things Religion, politics and
entertainment. All 3 of those things are obsessed over and radicalized.
Whatever happened to the forging of the human heart? The desire to see yourself
be something more than your 9 -5 gossip train at work ending with a TV dinner
and the news channel EXTRA EXTRA at 7 talking about
Hollywood?!
Meanwhile Nepal is buried
under thousand year old brick. Christians in the world are suffering a modern
day genocide that isn’t being recognized. Tehran is lurking in the shadows of a
sinister agenda our leaders refuse to see. ISIS continues to ravage and kill
just like the days of old. Beheading men, woman and children, nailing entire
families to trees, burning, raping killing.. And we are tuning into Bruce
Jenner’s controversial announcement…
Hmm anyway, Social equality is a valid
conversation and issue that should be dealt with. But that’s just my point IT
SHOULD BE DEALT WITH! My Faith in leadership is dashed at this point. How can
we even attempt to solve the problems in the world if we don’t first deal with
the ground floor problems like social equality? Martin Luther King is rolling over
in his grave right now because of these racial issues in our country. C’mon
people we’re American’s not African American or Irish or Dutch or whatever.
Fine map back your genealogy and bloodline. Be PROUD of where you came from.
But at the end of the day the past no longer matters. You are a citizen of the
best country in the world. Now act accordingly. Are the cop killings ok? NO! But
that doesn’t mean you burn a city that your father and grandfather built upon their
backs! There is So much materialization in this age that people don’t even see
the meaning of hard work, blood, sweat and tears shed through precious history.
So much distortion of truth and reality most people that don’t really DIG in the
news articles, fact checks and confirmation sites are really walking around
basing their opinion off of a lie. We’ve created a society of People that are
so sifted by “one line” antidotes that their moral compass is ass backwards.
Who do we have to thank? The media? No my friend. That answer is to easy and
not at the root. Every person in this world is a byproduct of a leader. That
may look like a general in an army or a manager in dunkin donuts all the way
down to a simple man or woman being a father or mother to their child. We need
more leaders in this world that look up the word integrity and character 5
times a day and repeat it back to themselves. They don’t have to have degrees
or great resumes detailing their accomplishments. Just simple people that knows
what’s right and wrong in the face of blatant evil. Some would say it’s
hilarious that I would even have to say something that should be already well
understood. But unfortunately we live in a society of leaders that prove differently
to us every day.
History will have to
record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not
the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good
people.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
