Connecting the dots... (#1224)

Everything works together in some form of symmetry. Nothing is just by itself, a stand alone, without being a part of something else. The world is a confusing place and it is difficult to to put all the chaotic pieces of the puzzle together unless one has some kind of a plan or map as to how things work. This is why I have spent the latter half of my life learning the nuances of not only process of policy for our civil society but also, and even more importantly, the psychology of why we do what we do. The motive or intent of thought and action are more important to me than the actual outcome of ideas. The "why" of a consideration is more vital than the "how" of the consideration. All of this is to point out that I can now see how most all the pieces come together, not so much structurally, but with the intended purpose. A pattern emerges that reflects the intent of the organization or group as to it's ultimate objective through their introducing public policies that have little benefit to most but much benefit to some. Once a path of purpose has been determined by an entity, it is rare that they would divert from it. Regardless of how enticing their rhetoric may be, they are, in my mind, only focused on an end result that does not bode well for those who disagree with them. That's the problem, I may disagree with objectively neutral ideas in the public domain, but generally, they benefit all, not just some, and I respect that. However, there is little to be confused, and much to object about, when you can discern the intent of suspicious and detrimental policy. We are a democracy and as such if we are not all included in policy, that generally affects us all, then we are not a democracy. We want a better world but not at the expense of those who we would consciously/unconsciously exclude, do we?
