It's been a little while since I've posted in here, and this blog IS for sorting out my thoughts. So here goes.
I'm torn up about the 2012 Presidential Campaign. There is entirely too much mudslinging. When did it become okay to ignore what's actually wrong with the world and vote for one of two despicable campaigns. I'm becoming convinced more and more every day that I must vote alongside a moral obligation instead of the "lesser of two evils". I don't care if my vote "counts" because at least I will be able to sleep at night knowing that a write in for Luke Skywalker, Shaggy Rogers, or Ron Paul didn't increase the national debt.
Mitt Romney's comments in the infamous "47%" video..were off the cuff and playing to a certain type of audience. You don't behave differently and say things in different ways to different groups of people? Really? Yeah. That's what I thought.
Since I care so little about the outcome of this election, here's something nice about Barack Obama:
He really cares. He is a genuine human being with a good heart. He wants to help the United States. He wants to help people the best he can. I like Obama as a man. He seems to be a decent fellow. Neither he or Romney is going to help anyone or change anything with the country behaving as it currently is. We are blaming politicians for the way that we are behaving, and I am sick of it.
I mean what I say about Jesus being the answer. He is our only salvation. The United States will never be "saved" unless they turn to God. If everyone was turning to Jesus instead of Obama or Romney or Bill Clinton, there wouldn't BE problems like the ones America is facing. There would be an excess of compassion and love to go around. That's what Jesus wanted for us. If everyone extends compassion and help to those who need it on a daily basis, no one would need to rely on the government to do the people's job. If you think the government should do it, why don't YOU do it?!
I try to serve in any way I can. I am selfish with my money sometimes, but I would actually be in serious financial trouble without my parents. I am an underemployed college graduate whose parents showed him love and compassion in keeping him around until he gets on his feet. Money isn't the only way to help someone. Lend an ear, an arm, or any body part you can to help someone in need. I try to lend things like that, things that I wish people would give to me.
No matter how underemployed, poor, or lonely I am, I have incredible gifts. Incredibly family, friends, and a girlfriend that love me. God has shown me so much compassion, because my life could be so much worse. See how much you can improve someone's life just by reaching out to them. Reach out, even if they don't reach back at first.
I hope some (if any) of this made sense to you. Just know that politically, I consider myself a moderate/independent. I lean to the right sometimes out of moral conviction, but am very level headed and logical much of the time. I appreciate your reading. Thanks, God bless, and I love you. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you.
