What I've been trippin' on today:
Ask a lawyer what "thou shalt not lie" means. Good luck getting a straight answer out of anyone ensconced in the system regarding legal matters and personal consequences. This pertains to cops, judges, jurors, those arrested or those who might be arrested, etc. Almost everybody lies these days, it seems, like ‘CYA’ is a sacred duty or something.
Ironically, everybody believes everybody lies, so everybody who loves politics spins their wheels in a pig trough and sprays the fecal (lie) matter at people they deem as an enemy of some variety or other (Marxist/racist or whatever). Smudge, Don’t Grudge’ is a useful Slogan.
OK, back to the issue. Also, ask a lawyer what "Love your enemy" means or what the Sermon on the Mount means. From the looks of things these days, the media that protects the system swine, put money above everything. FOLLOW THE MONEY is hoe (how) people supposedly get to the bottom of corruption but rarely follow the truth when there's no profit ratio in it (Prophet Ratio...lol).
Money follows power and vice-versa. Jimi Hendrix talked about the power of love versus the love of power. So have a great many people through the millennia taught love and forgiveness. Respecters of Persons will sell out their principles in a heartbeat. Examples: Lying to convict a liar, hating to destroy a hater, and many other types of hypocrites abound.
There are many great people out there and probably many of the hypocrites actually mean well. But what about the people who are afraid to speak up or ‘gave up trying’ a long time ago because it's just not worth it to fight fighters. Some are accused of being weak when they say, “Goodbye, cruel world.” Some people are too gentle to live among The Bad Wolves.
Kid Rock said to ‘get in the pit and try to love someone’. Most people won't even lift a finger or put down the remote long enough to read a POV that differs from their own. The USA is pathetic in this way. Lazy moralizers and rabid adrenalin junkie/haters are guarding the henhouse. But there is hope. We can get out of the mess we got ourselves into, but Einstein said it can’t be done with the same mind that got USD there. Spiritual Experiences happen through humility, but pride precedes the fall.
