Everyone is either screaming BLM or Comply right now, & after listening to one of our ministers sermons yesterday, I’ve come to the conclusion both sides are wrong. Here’s what I think is the problem..
As a society we’ve lost our ability to keep our mouth shut & say or do whatever we want. It started on social media, someone on Facebook posts something, probably a rant or something else they wouldn’t have said in public, & another person decided to leave a commit back they wouldn’t have done face to face either. Overtime we all become immune to it, & have probably done it ourselves… using the arguement it’s just a way to vent frustration.
Unfortunately, it’s become way more than that. We’ve all become cyber bullies or whatever you want to call it, & now it’s bleeding into the real world.
Call it a spirit of rebellion or whatever, but now if anyone questions us or asks us to do something. We automatically open our mouths up & argue with them. We are seeing it with people arguing with police & the police responding back. I’ve seen it at work, people refusing to do their job. Because they don’t agree with what is asked of them. It’s not a black thing, white thing generation thing it’s all of us.
My wife’s grandma has dementia… and many times she isn’t aware o what she’s saying or how. I describe it as losing her filter of what she would say, because I know if she really knew what she was saying she wouldn’t be saying it. It comes into her mind & she says it. We have a societal dementia, we’ve lost our filter.
Am I making sense? More to follow
