The Founding Fathers didn’t intend to have a government that attempted to engineer a culture or make laws to change the behavior of the average citizen.
Politicians think we can change our instincts to be prejudiced, not be wary of big shifts in social customs, and believe as they believe by changing laws!
Media also vainly tries to engineer
cultural behavior. Both political parties do this.
All this does is make people dig in their heels and stretch deeper into their own views, and we are currently seeing this play out in the extreme.
You cannot force people to mature, grow, lose prejudices, or become more open-minded by making more laws, by new policies that punish you if you don’t follow their will, by legislation and court decrees.
Each side wants to define what a family looks
like. Each side has pity for different groups!
The only way to improve society is to listen to all viewpoints, respect others, be kind, and not correct or make others' feelings wrong.
You see, a people, a society, or a culture grows and flourishes by allowing people to discover a higher way for themselves.
Historically, humans have used force to gain security by taking land and resources. Feeling fear of change, we revert back to force. Yet, in the recent history of our evolution, we have been reaching for a better, more equitable way.
We all want a peaceful life without suffering. Our intentions are good. We just can’t agree on how to do that. Through the recent millennia, we have had a good start. But we are so impatient.
We all have the power to create our
own lives however we want. This is called allowing. Looking for a higher way
assists our evolution.
The 'freedom' the Founding Fathers intended.
