Whether it's due to a practice of living in denial, feeling entitled, or just being plain selfish, there seems to be a chronic epidemic in our culture today....a formal, visible, and shameless state of hypocrisy.
Neighbors think it's ok for their daily activities to infringe upon your rights: permanent street parking, unruly children, destructive pets, loud parties, etc., but you are expected to abide by the homeowner's association rules at all times. Most drivers feel that traffic lights and signs are for those "other people" that are not as important as themselves. After all, they NEED to drive through that red light to get the best parking space for themselves at work! Why NOT pull out in front of an oncoming car? Isn't what they're doing and their agenda of greater importance that the safety of others?
And then are the 'cell addicts' that use their phones to text, catch up, and work themselves into a fit while driving, shopping, and working around us. Their communicating, oftentimes very loudly, is a priority and those around them will just have to get over it, or accept that their car is totalled in sacrifice to their conversation and it's importance on the food chain.
How about the intolerant, tolerant liberal left?! We can discuss and worship tree frogs, witches, the occult, and idolize celebrities, but the awesome and holy name of Jesus causes chokes, sputters, and rage from the intolerant tolerant. (It's still the name above all names, praise God!)
The tip of the hypocritical iceberg: I should be allowed to do as I please....but not you.
Finally, our corrupt administration and congress must be brought up as well as they seem to be setting the standard...........We who pay their salaries must sit in stunned, incapicitated apathy while they arrange our country as they see fit.....AS LONG AS THEY DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW THE SAME RULES THEY SET UP FOR THE REST OF US!
I think many Americans, like myself, are becoming increasingly fed up with this state of affairs and I personally predict some major rebellion, uprising, and the occasional traffic smack downs. I no longer see horrible accidents on the news and ask "how?"..........I know how.
The saving grace is just that.........God's saving grace. I thank Him that I'm just passing through such a place and ask Him for strength to not only walk with Him daily, but be a light that will direct others through and out of what is becoming an even darker place. I pray that while I am here, " for such a time as this", that I can continue to work for real moral change in the world around me, leaving a legacy for my children and future Americans.
