Presidential candidate Donald Trump is suggesting a boycott over the new red cups from Starbucks. Why? Cause they do not say Merry Christmas!
Welcome to the world of PC hate. Political correctness is the creation of hate on a global scale.
It has been the death of manners; the destruction of kindness and the termination of politeness!
Everyone has to be offended.
And everyone is offended by the wrong things.
We are not offended by the violence in the world. We are not offended by the corruption in the world. We are not offended by the greed of leaders and corporate CEOs and shareholders. We are not offended by the criminal actions of our government. We are not offended by the destruction of the planet. We are not offended by poverty. We are not offended by famine.
Oh, NO!
We are offended cause someone wished us a Merry Christmas! We are offended cause someone held the door open for us! We are offended cause the school is letting the children show off their talents and skills and do something fun! We are offended cause someone wore a shirt! We are offended cause someone displayed a cross! We are offended cause someone wore a hijab! We are offended cause someone said God Bless You! We are offended cause a business refused to do business with us! We are offended cause someone speaks a different language! We are offended cause someone has a different skin color! We are offended cause someone isn't gay! We are offended cause someone isn't transgender!
If you only look at all the things that offend us, you will see what really offends us is MANNERS!
We seem to have developed this overwhelming desire to HATE!
Read that definition again....typically as a result of a PERCEIVED insult! It means that the one that is offended is usually the one that is wrong!
We are so full of hate as a society that we look for hate in everyone and everything! We look at the world not through the proverbial rose colored glasses, but with broken glasses that distort the reality of the world. We cannot even find good in the most innocent of actions and that disappointment starts at home.
When someone we meet on the street says hi, we pause, we back away or step aside and wonder what they really want. When someone at works asks how's it going or how are you, we instantly go on the defense looking for the gimmick. And that started at home with you telling your parents as a child, I love you and they replied with what do you want! Thus teaching you that nothing good is real or free or comes without great cost. That there is no such thing as sincerity or honesty or giving.
That simple retort, begins the negative path to hate. How sad we so willingly teach our babies that we do not see their love as honest or a treasure or a gift; that we do not trust their sincerity or intentions even from birth.
And the reality and truth of the matter is -- they were not born like that, YOU taught them that from your own actions with them and in front of them! SHAME ON YOU!!!
P.S. For anyone that I have not offended yet, HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
