(#5851) The inferior greed of the American electorate

      What is the inferior greed of which I state? Instead of being greedy for equality for all we are greedy only for ourselves to have equality. Instead of being greedy for all to pursue their dreams we are only for pursuing our own. In essence we Americans are not about being just and fair we are about being uncaring and cruel when whatever it is doesn't benefit us personally. I look at what we Americans should be. We should be those souls that spend their lives making sure that all humans born are able to live without unnecessary pain and misery as a rule. Instead we turn our backs on those who we tell ourselves are less than us instead of equal to us. We Americans think that we are special in whatever twisted logic to justify our being above and inattentive to the woes of others.
     We Americans work hard to insulate ourselves from the cries of the heart in order to exist apart from it. This attitude and behavior is not the exception it is the general acceptance among us. We have abdicated our humanity so that we can dislocate from the harsh reality of our humanity. We only want to care about what we want to care about instead of caring about what reality is truly doing. For some inferior reason we think that the world's troubles are too numerous and too big for us to partake in solving. So we create our own separateness in order to forget about the world's troubles. We quit on being a magnificent species so that we can devolve back to being a sufferable one.
     I often come back to the same conclusion about what we Americans think we have become, privileged and advantaged. Too many of us do not know the hardships that were endured to improve our society toward democracy and its benefits to all of us. We today are unclear in our approach to the manifest destiny we are all still part of promoting. We were going to bring democracy to the whole world so that all could know freedom, liberty, justice, fairness, and the pursuit of happiness. But what has happened since is that too many of us stopped our mission so that we could instead enjoy democracy while stopping to fight for it. We are now lazy and unprepared for those who come at us to steal our democracy from us. We sit back because we lost our way and don't remember the sacrifices and what they meant to the foreparents who gave us our democracy to begin with.
