Lately with the many new policies of the current administration, those groups and organizations that oppose the aforementioned have been driven into a feeding frenzy. So many things to rip. Where to start? nationality? socialism? lack of qualifications? Chose your weapon. LORD knows many others have.
It's purely nauseating. It absolutely amazes me that the national conversation has gone from constructive discussions about public issues to public shouting matches about the daily things we've dealt with for decades. Nay, centuries. I mean, it's change we're talking about. Right? Ok, that's what I thought. Apparently the very nature of change itself (not the actual change) is just so terrifying to some people that they'd rather scream, shout, and threaten others just to protect their way of life and keep things just the way they are. Even if that way is self-destructive or unproductive. It's not even the specific issue with which "change" is referenced that brings people to hysterics. Just the word.
Amazing what the ramifications of just one word can be.
Change: to become altered or modified - a verb as defined by dictionary.com
Why is change such a completely polarizing word, action, noun, ect.? Are we just so afraid to step outside of what our absolute norm is and learn a little something new? Is it so difficult to possibly see things in another way? Could it really be that bad?
well...its something to ponder anyway.
