(#5782) Understanding the hate we use to justify ourselves

      I see the anger coming from many who do not know why they hate other than it sounds like the right thing for them to do. They are told something is bad for them and they take that being told at face value. Without knowing the why of it. This is why knowledge is so important! If you understand the meaning and/or the purpose of a thing you may then make up your own mind based upon premises that support your conclusion. What we have too much of today is too many who let others think for them because they don't want to take the time to think for themselves. A very sad fact when you consider that none of us is worthy of being everyone else's thinker.
     When we allow our individual selves to know what is objectively correct we then start to master our own lives. We become the gauge we use to understand what we want out of life not someone else who will always have another agenda for giving us our opinion to defend. Everyone must realize that there are no good deeds being done out there where we abdicate our rights to someone else and expect an equally good value in return. We all are responsible for how we learn and decide. Not to give that choice to someone else who has their own ulterior agenda. The reason I am for and/or against policies is because I have studied them to see if they fit within the principles of democracy. If so then yes, if not then no!
     I am only me. Nothing more which is why I write this daily blog. So that I can define who I am in real time in a public way. I am not trying to hide any motive for what I do and/or am. I just look at things I either know or that I need to learn and then look to see if democracy is being upheld by whatever decision I come to make. There is no emotion to my decisions as to a default. Logic and common sense will guide my thinking so emotionally hating or loving something that causes intentional harm to someone else will not occur in the simple formula of doing no harm I use to uphold democracy. Would I harm myself for being true to who I am and what I hold dear like our democracy? No. Will I do the same to anyone else? Again, no!
