I believe that it was Lincoln who said (I paraphrase, of course):
"It is better to have been thought a fool than to open your mouth..." and give a speech to the United Nations...

It seems to me that people gather to themselves enough religion and conviction to satisfy themselves AND enough to make everyone else miserable .. I'm betting the misery caused is a reflection of the misery suffered because "just enough" really isn't. My ramblings

Laws are created to guarantee and protect the freedoms of every human being, drawing us to our best. When we use them only to cover our worst or to require others to "fall in line" we have created an unjust society falling short of our best, failing justice and betraying liberty.

We have the greater demand and the best opportunity to speak our minds and hearts. We can use it to demean, slander, and attack others or challenge each other with the brilliance of thought and profound expression. Only one avenue inspires while the other simply destroys the human spirit.

"Mighteousness" is not "Righteousness"
Might does NOT make right
Bullies are still bullies, no matter who or what they use to cover their fragile self perception

A few words can devastate.. BUT.. a few words can heal, restore, empower and create from nothing the wonder of all.. that's the power each of us have. Let's use it to devastate the evil but exponentially overwhelm with good

Every Eden has its snake in the grass.. The Constitution is the holy writ of our democracy, but we never suspected that a snake would say, "Hey does the Constitution REALLY mean what it says? Surely I can challenge it; no one will stop me!" Damned if he isn't slithering away with it.

Give what you will for the good of others around you .. even if, in the moment, they may not like it and even resent it. In the most critical moments, they may remember and find strength from it to do good to someone else, and you will have affected others through them.

The MAGA Christian Nationalist.. Jesus spoke of you from Matt 23 when he said to the teachers and philosophers of the scripture: "Woe to you,... you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have..., you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are."
