The arrogance of manipulation (#1713)

Here is my take on the arrogance of manipulation. When someone or a group of people actually do a bad thing and then have the audacity to blame it upon another or another group. So liars who blame other(s) rather than accepting their own creation. In our complex world of rules and procedures it is often difficult to keep track of who is doing what, when, how and most importantly, why. While for most of us our lives are hard and time consuming just trying to stay even it is understandable that we would not be informed about the minutiae of difficult policy questions. However, there is a way to distinguish between harm. For the most part if harm is used to deny what is right and good then we should question that particular harm and become informed about it. If a good is not equally spread out among the citizenry then that as well needs more investigation. We can be out of the loop on a lot of policies that effect our society but applying equality, fairness and ethics to questionable procedures, we can get at the heart of the truth of the policy. Remember, a lesson I have learned the hard way, Always be the good person you know you are, that is all of us by the way, not mostly the good person but always the good person. I know it is hard to do but hard is something we humans have become very familiar with over our entire species' existence. It is when we do lapse in being the good person we should be is when our greatest regrets are allowed to become. If we are not making our country stronger by doing what is right and good we are not making our selves stronger in our own eyes and in the eyes of those who look up to us.
