Obviously the picture did come from a "politicized" source. As I looked at it, and it's message, I was struck by the morality issue(s) presented. Sadly, what is expressed in the message of the picture is very true in this day of age. This is just one such issue that has diminished the morality of the nation.
Which brings me to this....a nation (such as the U.S.A.) beset by morality issues (such as the one above) means simply that the people that make up that nation are beset by those issues. And this, to me, means that complacency has eroded what was formerly a strong sense of resolve about this issue, and others like it. In other words, one can almost hear "oh well, what can you do about it?"
Complacency is a form of soul and heart wrecking cancer, and unlike cancer of the medical variety, it only grows when it is allowed to grow. And people do that.
If things like the above picture bother you, like it did me, then what can you do? Some suggestions:
- dare to be different. Get actively indignant about things that just aren't right.
- talk about them to friends and associates instead of keeping it inside
- certainly pray for "sane" leadership, and actively seek and promote "sane" candidates
- get angry about the morality erosion and dwindling values, and get active
- insist that your family not "cave in"...talk about issues
- show your own values as an example....does it really matter what others think?
- etc, etc, etc
Do you see where I'm going with that? It is all about individual responsibility...period. It is a one by one by one by one process of people deciding enough is enough. Let me ask you this:
Do you have a 15 year old daughter who you know can get an abortion without your knowledge, but she can't get an aspirin in school? Does that not bother you?
