“The Way I See It” turns out to be the most compelling and profound television special that aired last night, in my book, returning hope for humanity, especially within the United States of America. My soul, parched from the depravation of fluid common sense, civility and ordinary care in our political areana, drank in the empathy and compassion of previous Presidential administrations.
Hope returned to my heart and light of empathetic care of all people ignited that spark of possibility of what could be again.
It is not only other people and other administrations who can bring about the necessary changes that uplift us. We need to be better people.
Everyday we all get the choices our free will suggests to us. Focusing on and building peace is possible even in the face of unpeaceful situations, unrest, disharmony sparked by dark agendas. We shine our light on these situations without being duped by the antagonism of white supremicists, for example.
Seeing the dignity displayed in “The Way I See It,” as presented by Pete Souza, the White House photographer for Former President Barak Obama, my heart melted, which until I saw this television special, was unaware it was holding onto so much fear and trepidation from our previous four years of daily and often hourly lies, disinformation, and authorian/oligarch terror for our country.
I could look outside of myself and say the United States will be so much better off with other leadership at the helm, but the truth is, the United States will also be much better off when we all take off our one-sided blinders we have donned, like a horse with its blinders on while running the race. How is it possible to make any decision when we only look at one side?
I have tried countless times, and will still continue to try, to reach the hearts and minds of others who are cemented into the bucket of lies they have been sold as if these lies were the truth. It is as if they are rooting for their sports team, that no matter what, that is their team. Their screams and yells have only derogatory slanders, no facts or integrity. They do not realize they have had the wool pulled over their eyes. They believed the lies. I am a firm believer that truth comes out in the end.
There is more than one agenda, one lie, within the current administration, than the one that is being sold to citizens of the USA. For example, present powers say they will not touch your health insurance. I’ve had people tell me they do not have “The Affordable Care Act (ACA),” or “Obamacare,” that they have “Aetna” or some other insurance company. However, what they do not understand is that they have the things their insurance company currently gives them because The Affordable Care Act is a law, requiring all insurance companies to comply, at the moment, covering pre-existing conditions and regulating what your co-pays can be. Without these regulations, insurance companies will go the way all business goes when left to greedy agendas.
If the same administration gets voted in in November 3, the ACA is on the chopping block. If that happens, they promise to destroy the ACA and the provisions currently available. November 10 is when the case on whether or not to keep the Affordable Care Act comes up in the Supreme Court. If it is dropped, with no replacement in sight, you may find yourself having to deal with pre-existing conditions not being replaced, and skyrocketing co-pays and premeiums. This is not a lie. Check out this news for yourself.
Look online, not only at FOX News, or your local Dunkin Donuts friends. Go to reputable sources that have no bias, and who have real reporters, not just columnists who are paid to tell their particular point of view. Reputable news outlets are: Associated Press (AP), Reuters, The Guardian, NPR, BBC, The Wall Street Journal, Axios, PBS, NBC, ABC, CBS. These are center, not right or left wing. Of those, I think the absolute best would be AP and PBS. They is on every list that is unbiased.
Now I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I see the inspiration that is possible. It comes from the way we treat ourselves and one another, with empathy and compassion. When empathy and compassion are missing in the political areana, political greed for power and money usurp the brains of otherwise would-be decent people.
Let us begin, or begin again, with a focus on decency, civility, honor, integrity in how we live our lives, speak in conversations, and VOTE in the coming election on November 3.
