It all flows together doesn't it? You can't separate something. Segregate someone. Try to tell your mind separate this subject to be dealt with now this one. Not in a world of Liberty.
Liberty on one side of the American coin... on the other In God We Trust.
Does that 'In God We Trust' phrase serve to awaken something of a connection to a force that
is greater than our individual selves? Viktor Frankl the author of the marvelous, recommended
reading in my High School for all new (young) Americans 'Man's Search for Meaning'. Frankl in his talks from coast to coast that he gave during the fifties and sixties urged we as a nation to consider putting up a statue of Responsibility that would be the partner of Lady Liberty overlooking New York Harbor.
'In God We Trust' was that message look to something outside oneself to balance your love of Liberty. Is it fear of Liberty these days? Liberty is good enough for me but what about all the bad people? Are we still estranged from Responsibility? So estranged that we are willing to dismiss Liberty as a fiction of weaker minds. What power for goodness or healing could reside in Liberty? Not many apparently see that at this time. this nation
I've wondered as I have read history and of course that is the joy of reading or discovering the story of Life on Earth. To wonder. Wondered, specifically can you wonder specifically? The wonder spreads...
Wondering about Liberty and Responsibility. Does Liberty demand that you serve? Demand that you not retreat?
The Trump four year stint is about up. What will be his role ahead? What is mine? What is yours?
Here is our President for the next 7 days speaking out for Peaceful behaviour from his supporters up ahead, here is text from his DC speech ..never mind. Trump for all the possibilities that this man had to rise up and speak out on the dangerous drift this nation was sliding sideways to which he did in his way over four years. His own weakness and ignorance compounded things and always undermined, his good intentions, which I still give him credit for, just dumber than a doornail.
Liberty is wonderful. Responsibility is not so easy. He said goodbye to his troops as they headed off for the Capital. 'I won' he said. Like he said regarding his first debate. Off his troops went. Leadership zero.
In the meantime my local State Senator has notified me of a Zoom talk on the 26th. Re Covid 19
I submitted a question.
Do you agree that the Bill of Rights are still in effect?
The people of California and your district
are allowing the governmental shutdown only to the point that the people's representatives, you, have a high degree of honesty
. ... that is being watched as best we can.
This is a Liberty question and a Responsibility question.
