A Semi-Satirical Analysis
We are experiencing hard
times here at home in the USA. They are nothing compared to the
situation in Syria or Durfar. Still, we have the highest percentage
of poverty per capita among what's called as the developed nations. A
point supported by Jeffery Sachs author of “The End of Poverty.”
A question asked
During one of the previous
presidential debates a woman in the audience asked why if we have the
problems (poverty, hunger and so on) in our own country why do we
send billions in aide overseas? As you can imagine the answers were
all over the map in many ways. Still, they all gave a valid reason
for the practice. To further the point almost all the analysis from
political commentators supported the explanations in their feedback.
Note, I said almost all. I didn't check in with Ann Coulter nor do I
intend to.
We do this in everyday
life
We question things around
us, about us, and within us. And at times our inner self, the
political analyst within comes up with either a true acceptance or
finds a self justified acceptance for either our actions or stances
on a concerned issue. In other words some of these are valued
truisms and others closer to the line of being a form of lies.
The heart of the matter
A common theme in my
research in the field of creativity lately is that it was found that
most creative people are the best liars. Not just from a few sources
but from a large majority. And the articles and reports almost
always were slanted as if to say that was a good thing. For me, this
both acceptance in a good way and a bad way. Why, because it steals
the luster from being a creative person. Not one of these sources
gave justification for indicating being a liar is a good thing other
than being an adjunct to the creative personality. Also it not a
good personal representation of the person called me.
My conclusion
We must then categorize
politicians as part of the creative community. Which could possibly
be the only point Ann Coulter and I may ever be in agreement with.
Which I will say I resent but I don't know if it's due to the former
or the latter or maybe both. So, in line with being contrary to the
title of this article I can't decide whether any of this can be
labeled “Acceptance- The Good Way and The Bad Way.” The reason
why is I reject it all even Ann Coulter except the point of the
existence of a high level of poverty in America.. I do have
acceptance that we have the resources and the ability to either
reduce this aberration or eliminate it. And I will add I do not have
acceptance in the fact it even exists at all. We have the creativity
and the knowledge to end this plight. Maybe one of the questions at
the aforementioned debate should have been “Why aren't we doing
so?”
