“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize. ~ Voltaire
“what is right is not always popular, and what is popular is not always right.”
That one by Voltaire… let’s see. For me, it’s everyone. Does this imply Democracy is corrupt?
But I guess there’s a thin line between criticism and abuse.
ugh I don’t know.
I left it as a quote without adding an opinion on purpose. I may use it in a post in the future…who knows.
For me, it applies to what is going on in the U.S. right now, but it could apply to personal situations as well. When you criticize someone – anyone – and they react a certain way, you know you’ve hit a nerve… “Don’t you dare criticize me! …”
– Walls don’t work, except to protect us. Then they work.
– Guns (police, military) are bad, except to protect us. Then they work.
– I can burn, loot, destroy but as soon as you do it, it’s bad and you must be destroyed.
– I can call names and demean you up one side and down the other, but how dare you do the same to me.
(When I say you, I don’t mean you personally, but generally)
I could go on and on, but I think you get my point. As for criticism and abuse? Well, that could be addressed in a post. I guess. What’s the difference between criticism and abuse? Criticism is when someone is judged for their actions, work, etc. Abuse is when someone gets aggressive in their behavior, usually trying to show dominance over someone or something. Criticism can be abusive…but at this point, I will digress.

If we are to have another contest of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason's and Dixon's, but between Patriotism and intelligence on one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other." ~ Ulysses S. Grant

The US right now is the perfect example of what can quickly happen to a prosperous business when you hire all the wrong people
Can someone update me on what's offensive today? It's hard to keep up!
Psalm 23 (KJV) The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Be thankful for the thorns and thistles which keep you from being in love with this world. ~ Charles Spurgeon
