It is always better to focus on what we can change, even as we protest what we cannot.

Mary’s Faith
Mary must have had such faith in her God, and in her Savior, in order to endure the worry and agony resulting from her child’s mortal path.
Saith Me… The Good Friend
When our joy becomes a toxin to a friend, their sorrow can become toxic to us. A good friend will then walk away for a time.
Success of Nations
A nation’s success is dependent on its people having an understanding of what makes it successful. Authoritarian governments seek success through suppressing information, and through spreading misinformation. In a democratic republic where the people have the right to vote, it is vital for information to be shared and debated. Discourse, preferable civil discourse, is essential for national success. However, too many people, who enjoy the benefits of a democratic republic, seek to hide from discourse. For whatever reasons they may give, at the end of the day, they are seeking to hide from the very responsibility they have in the maintenance of their nation and its success.
Cringeworthy Reality
It is interesting to see so many supporters of capitalism and small government cringe.
Capitalistic exploitation of cheap resources and labor has provided a stable livelihood for many who have never felt exploited because of the protections their grandfathers voted for when robber barons last ruled.
Realization that they have become this cheap labor causes worry to build among these supporters of small government. They realize that their livelihood is controlled, not just by the modern robber barons of their own nation, but by the robber barons of foreign nations.
They realize they might need protection from the government they believe is too big.
A cringeworthy reality.
Saith Me… Social Life
Social activities are important, but not if they are simply filler for an empty life.
Be That Someone
Be that someone who makes the difference.
