Always lead with a strong moral code.
Things seem to end badly when good intentions lead…
Do I need to explain this?
It’s a good thing to rise against violence. It’s a bad thing to ignore the most egregious violence and focus on a small fraction of a percent of all violence because it fits your political agenda.
You had good intentions by supporting the cause of the death of Michael Brown. Michael Brown was a thug, a strong armed robber, a dope smoker, a bully. Michael Brown attempted to kill a Police officer when that police officer attempted to question him about a strong armed robber that Brown had just committed and was caught on video. The resulting death and destruction in the wake of those good intentions of the protesters is unfathomable. The protesters let their good intentions lead without looking at the truth.Do I need to explain this? …maybe.
If you believe in freedom of speech (a good and moral thing) then do not deny others the right to voice an opposing opinion.
If you believe in life ( another good and moral thing) then don’t value Black Lives above any other life.
If you think some politician or activists lied do not give the one that supports your point of view a pass when they lie.
If you think killing a Lion is bad think about the massacre of the Christians world wide by Islam. Human life always trumps animal life.
If you believe in your right to own a home and a piece of land (a good moral thing when earned) then don’t expect others to give their’s away to make you feel good. Give your own away.
It’s a good noble and moral thing to open our land to the oppressed. It’s a bad thing to allow people to jump the line. It’s a bad thing to send the refugees to someone else neighborhood. Let them move in your very own back yard on your land under your roof and eating your food.
In other words the ends do not justify the means. Lead with a strong sense of morals and you will find a way to your goals without sacrificing morals along the way.
