Good ideas and humans

Few humans want to wake up in the morning wanting to do a bad job.

And we are experiencing, as an American culture, something like this.

Maybe the ideas are good, maybe they’re not.

Maybe those we have elected to do their bit are failing in promoting our families?

What do I mean? After all we are a great force in the present world today. But one should remind ourselves there are other great forces in the world today, too. And they might not think like us, etc. Most of we in the USA these days have been brought up by those we elected to think we are omnipotent. But maybe we are not, and should recognize this. Other peoples love their families too, and do whatever the situation presents itself to go forward.

We as a country and culture have spent decades of many efforts trying to make so much of the “other world” self sufficient, and we have succeeded or made progress, I think. At least we are doing OK. Well these people have values too, and also love their families. And they are simply being human, to include expressing their values, often local, which is normal.

Hence the friction point.

Do politicians with good intentions predominate, or do humans predominate?

I suspect the humanity will predominate. How it sorts out will be interesting.

And even here in the USA, we also have hearts and minds.
