Why is it so easy?

Why is it so easy to.....

  • To pick on America's wealth with its Free Market Society, Capitalism, and Democracy rather than everyone else for it's Monarchy's, Parliaments, Dictatorships, and power corrupt "governments." The American government is corrupt (money more than power), and yes, there are very few people who have all the money and wealth. But the government was setup to allow freedom and keep the government from overlording over us. Is that our fault? Why does noone focus on the fact that America is the biggest country who gives the most money to charity, non-profit organizations, and churches? As for the wealthy elite, does the name Bill Gates or Warren Buffet mean anything? 2 of the wealthiest people ever, by far. Also 2 of the biggest donators of their money ever. Everytime another country is hit with a catastrophic event, who does the WHOLE world turn to?
  • Pick on the Bible? Has any other book done so much for mankind? Why does all the focus have to be on its interpretation and what its true meaning means? Why can't it just be read and we do the do's and don't do the do nots? Why does everyone quote other people and song lyrics and poems from everyone else when the Bible has many of the same quotes and statements? We'll read a book by some author and live it and try to apply it. Never reading it to question him/her or to find the next big argument, but to establish some signposts to life. And when we do come across some thought that seems contradictory we'll try and see the author's point of view and look at ways to agree with it? Not the Bible. Find something we think or believe to be contradictory and we spend very little time trying to defend it or figure it out. Why is that so easy?
  • Give into societal norms? A man is suppose to act and feel and do and say this. A woman is suppose to act and feel and do and say this too. Supposedly our hormones control everything about us and if we feel it then do it. Hereditary determines us and the way and what we are born to is us and that is how we are to live life and behave. We praise the underdog story and love the rags to riches story and make a big deal out of the fact that someone wouldn't let someone or something else determine their life. So why is it so easy to fall back on the crutch of society when it comes to ourselves?
  • Have a conversation and dialogue with everyone about everything but never have a summation? When does the conversation end? Is it really a conversation if you give your point, I give my counterpoint, you give your counter-counterpoint, I give my counter-counter-counterpoint and on it goes? What was that all about? I am just going to go through all of life conversing with everyone, telling everyone why I believe what I do and you can speak up if you want, but you really aren't going to convince me otherwise, but we'll have a gentleman's agreement that it is just dialogue and we'll feel good because we "stated our case."
  • Bitch like I just did about me and everyone else and then defend it as "There is a reason this blog is called My Perception ." So deal with it....

Sometimes it is just too easy.
