Words - Too Many Of Them

We can't individually resolve this on a social or national but in another way, we can. We do have the option to get it straight on a personal level, and if enough of us did that, we'd impact society. For now, though, I will use our social and national situations to prove my point. Nationally, we are a fiscal mess, and who is promising solutions? The same people that promised solutions 4 years ago and the same people that we know make promises they won't keep! Socially, we are a mess of reversed intolerance calling it tolerance. Socially, we are redefining everything but going on like it's the same ol' same ol'. Nothing is the same!
What we have is, society changing the meaning of words and inventing new buzz words that keep certain people in an uproar and other certain people feeling superior, and the "certain people" change sides with the political tide . . . which brings me back to the national promises. We already know, regardless of what's promised, it won't happen and it will be the "other party's" fault!
These situations both boil down to one word - WORD. Politicians don't expect to have to keep their word and their constituents don't expect the promises to happen, as long as there's the excuse of the "other party." Society is going to continue to divide and become more outrageous in their quest for "tolerance" until someone finally falls over their own big white elephant in the room, which brings me to my point. Redefining doesn't really change the circumstances or the views of most of the people, it just throws a new word out to argue over or an old word that offends everyone . . . Bring this all the way to the personal level, because let's face it, society is not a separate entity, it's made up of we, individuals, and Washington politicians are simply the embodiment of the desires of the people.
On a personal level it still boils down to WORD. Someone that keeps their word, and stands behind their word, doesn't have to redefine or pass blame for not keeping their word. I've also noticed, be it individually or socially, or politically, people that do not keep their word, use lots and lots of words to take the focus off of that fact! They aren't in politics, and they are few and far between in social movements, and actually they are just a pretty rare group, entirely. A person that keeps their word, is usually a person of few words!
Where there is much talk there will be no end to sin, but he who keeps his mouth shut does wisely. a Proverb of Holy Scripture
