In the paper today, there is a quote from Margaret Thatcher…..”One of the great problems of our age is that we’re governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas”…..

I will add that it seems we are also veering from our values due to the sensitivity of our friends, kids, jobs, churches, and our own cravings.  Hey!  There is nothing wrong with saying “no”. There is nothing wrong with saying, “this is not right”. There is nothing wrong with saying  “yes, we can get away with it, but no, it’s not right”. There is nothing wrong with saying “YOU ARE WRONG” when your values, morals, and ethics scream inside your brain.

When did we start going down this path? Did our little kiddies pull the wool over our eyes when we were vulnerable? Shame on us…Did our friends manipulate us into believing they would walk if we didn’t go along with the opinions and even their actions? 

Now go look in the mirror……..Did you fall for it?  If so…..shame on you!

Keep looking in that mirror and make a plan to make a change….starting now,  not after you go to the game and yell obscenities, not after finance committee meeting concerning balancing the budget, not after you snicker at the less fortunate, not after you cheat on your taxes, but NOW!

ATTENTION…….morals, values, and ethics have not been modified to fit our lifestyle….I don’t care what the kids say……

BOTTOM LINE…….make the change…..be at the head of the line…..stand tall…
