Between Prop 8, the economy, and the Presidential election, things have been getting pretty crazy in the world. I have been sitting here pondering what to say about it all, but I know that if I ever voice everything I think I might as well shut down shop and turn off the computer for good. There is such thing as freedom of speech, but that doesn’t mean we can all exercise it without serious repercussions.
I am just happy that we have a new face on the Presidency with fresh ideas.
I am happy that people are able to express their contentment or discontentment with the establishment, and do something lawfully about it. I signed a petition to make adultery illegal in my state, but that doesn’t mean it will go through. What it means is that I stood up for what I believe to be true and moral, and that I didn’t sit idly by waiting for someone else to do it.
People have been talking about the definition of the sanctity of marriage. The divorce rate has been brought up. The statistics have been stated. The problem with marriage, or any relationship, is that people are flawed. They are not perfect. They are not going to do or say the right thing all the time. They won’t always make the right choices in life. Flawed people break up relationships. They have free will, they do as they will, and that is all there is to it. If we were taught as children to really revere marriage and the truly sacred bond that we are undertaking, maybe when we get old enough to marry we won’t make the wrong choices and place ourselves in divorce court. Maybe if someone would teach the true meaning of SANCTITY there would be something to uphold.
One man will not bring harmony and utopia, especially not overnight. I hope and pray that we all understand that things take time. Everything takes time. Our country didn’t get into the mess it’s in overnight. It took time. Step by step, bit by bit, we all have to pull our weight on this one and really drag our country out of the muck and mire it has been sinking into for so long. We the people need to do it. No one else can do it for us. Be true to yourself, your faith, your beliefs, and somehow it will all work out in the end.
