When Spoken Too

Adobe Firefly

Do I have the right to judge you based on the tingling feelings I may feel. Does logic supersede the adrenaline of emotion that is delicately intertwined within us? God forgive us for making rules that each of us in society need to keep. Even if those rules seem rigid and unbending. But thankfully there are moments of grace written into most laws. Where young men/women are granted favor for a youthful impulse. Still the hardliners of the law may interpret things in a different way. Through their own upbringing and convenient thought they may see things in a different more unbendable way.

Don’t ask me what brought me to this train of thought. Other than thinking about my own thoughts of religion and the hierarchy of hypocrisy I see every day. Where the rights of me, mine, and my own trump any emotions or beliefs you may have. Where is the spirit of compromise that has shaped this nation? Or was all that just a fable like so many tall tales? I’ve read what you’ve wrote on paper, yet my interpretation reads so differently. The isolation of fear, tribalism, and the non-existent autonomy of social media. Has created a monster and I wonder if we can ever put the genie back in the bottle.

But who the hell knows what I’m trying to say. At least I’m not afraid to admit I’m wrong. Maybe that is it? That it all goes back to the fear. The fear that our competitive society has created, where getting ahead supersedes the pursuit of peace of mind. I suppose I’ve asked more questions then I have given answers. But answers are what we must seek. So instead of being critical of others that seek peace through a higher power. Maybe I should just mind my own business and speak when spoken too.
