The “United” States of America. Funny how this acronym doesn’t quite fit the bill. It is also misleading, inaccurate and just outright wrong. There is nothing United about the states in America. If this Presidential election did not bring this point to the forefront Nothing. Ever. Will.
Write that down.
The definition of U-NIT-ED …. joined together politically, for a purpose , or by common feelings. Hmmmm seems like a thing of the past.
Where can you have a country that has a Federal Law but allows States to have their own laws and each state can have their own policy and regulations. How the heck can we “Unite” when I can move to Colorado and sell marijuana but if I stay in NY it’s a crime. How can I go to Nevada sleep with a prostitute in a brothel but if I solicit one in NY I can get arrested.
What in Gods name is “United”. ??
Every local government has different regulations from storefront signage to building code to transparency and as far as disclosure. “Buyer beware” in NYS but not the case in every state .
Bricks appear to cost a fortune in NY but go buy a brick house in Atlanta it’s a fraction of the cost. Medical insurance in NY is unaffordable but if I lived in another state I can insure the whole family for less than half.
Why is it that we accept inferior school environments in the inner city ? This super low energy in the classroom and we think “it’s a great district” what makes it great ?
You can go out to the burbs and get truly GREAT schools.
There is something seriously wrong with the so called “United” States of America. We are not so united.
Not by law, not by community, vision, spirit, soul, energy and alignment. Not sure we ever were. I’ve had this belief and feeling for decades. I’ve been saying for years that we are the “Broken” States of America. We the privileged who live on East coast or West coast REFUSE to SEE the hardships in the other states …the one thing this election did was bring that to the forefront. The media, the people, the hatred. I can’t even post my view or opinion without being clobbered by someone who thinks my view isn’t theirs so it’s wrong.
Why? Better yet How? How did we become so divided ? So disconnected to our fellow Americans ? That one side thought it was ok to call Trump supporters deplorables when they are citizens but yet the same side wants to “protect” the illegals and non documented criminals who cost the system tons of money. Who ride the system and send all their money back to their motherland instead of reinvesting it here.
Why? Who did we become as a people to turn on the others that live in states outside our state lines and call them names, when they live a hard ship, are American, also have freedom of speech, the right to vote , work, pay tax’s and dream the American dream. For me this election was a significant one. One that clearly depicts how divided we are, how disconnected to humanity we are, how we only look in our front gardens, how we don’t have vision to look ahead, how we somehow lost empathy and compassion for our citizens who bust their ass everyday to keep their heads up and wave the flag they are proud of and not burning it. UNITED ? We are so far removed from sharing the same vision the same togetherness the same purpose, we need to rename our nation..
We are fighting for non Americans but when you see a Vetern selling poppy flowers or flags in a wheelchair what do you do ? When was the last time you -yes – you advocated for a veteran ? Visit a VA home sometime, see the disabilities abound, the lives destroyed, the horrible food they are served in the homes! That is deplorable…. but unless it’s in your front yard you put your hands in the air and say I didn’t know.. (that doesn’t make it right if you truly cared).
I also find it so amazing that so many are now giving money to the ACLU, I’ve been a member since the 90’s where have you been? Sleeping perhaps but you see you are either transparent or jaded, you are either asleep or awake, growth minded or restricted..living with limiting beliefs or free.
When I speak I speak from experience. Not on a whim to be part of something because I need validation. But I speak from having had the opportunity to see/ feel and reach a out. To donate to the Vets, to support them in the streets, to give unconditionally without judgement. Because I am awake, aware, transparent, and I do care.
Something has gone inheritenly wrong in America. We lost the ability to weave a quilt.
A quilt used to tell a story, different fabrics , colors, lettering, symbols sewn together in “unity”.
Americans or I should rephrase that, the people who came to America came here to see a quilt, the fabric of America was one, pride, quality, and the pursuit of happiness we were once United. We once had the same common purpose and feelings…we no longer do. (As far as Americans I don’t believe this land was discovered, I believe it was a hostile takeover an invasion, a bully method of control and power, because how do you “discover” a land that had people on it ? Which explains the culture we have adopted as a way of life) but that’s for another blog post LOL…
We clearly LOST all of those materials. Instead we spend countless hours in agony, fighting, causing destruction, refusing to allow people their right to an opinion or view. We lost the art of communication and socializing. We hide. We gang up, and we continue to beat on each others spirits. We destroy, we protest in anger.. we lost that loving feeling.
It’s a no wonder WHY we are where we are today.
How can we stand “United” ? When we are so divided ? I look forward to the mass awakening when you stop allowing outside voices and people and things to define who you are !
Reach out your hand, I’m sure someone can use a lift. …
