Cognitive Dissonance
or Uncomfortable Moments of Silence
The study of
politics and governments are an essential pretext to understanding your place
and responsibilities as a citizen of the world. , not just these United States
of America, this is Earth's current state of affairs.
I want to know
why we as America's people must act as if we have no need to understand our
place in this world and how to make a difference that is beneficial to all humanity.
Why these rights
where written and whom did the 'founding fathers' have in mind when this
document came together.
What is amazing
about the Constitution of the United States is that out of the 4400 words,
Pennsylvania is misspelled.
What is actually
fascinating, of which I did not know, not until watching the movie " The
Pursuit of Happyness," with Will Smith and his son, was the
fact that we have the right to 'pursue' happiness, which is our right, just
that Thomas Jefferson, who by the way did not sign the Constitution,
specifically choose to use this word, pursue happiness.
Just a thought...
This is the
oldest living document that other countries use to model their own concept of
the constitution for their countries. Ours is a living document, which evolves
as each new generation moves into its place in history. This particular
document guarantees our rights to freedom of speech without reprisal of harm. Nevertheless,
the dichotomy of this freedom is that we have no actual boundaries with our
concept of freedom. We do go far with our liberties, just think about all of
the people throughout history who have died, or been murdered, and or lynched
in the name of " Freedom," or how nations are constructed under the
guise of democracy or is it' 'demonocracy,' ( infowars.com). What is ironic in
the English syntax is that the word 'America' is Arabic in its general
structural make up. The root word being 'Amir', which means leader, to lead to
be an example of good character and display the criteria of humanitarian
tendency.
So, where are we
leading the rest of the world? Alternatively, where do we hope to go ourselves?
I read
somewhere that in order to lead others,
one must be able to follow orders, or was it to be able to control others, one
needs to be able to control yourself, but either way I trust you understand.
