POLITICS
Running for money or popularity? As the race approaches the gloves are on; or as they say, coming off. It makes you ask that question "what are politicians really running for?" As I see it, its not for the people but it looks like it is for their own personal gain.
A local Orlando News source posted the mugshots of two candidates and the article was appalling. I don't know much about this online paper, because I have not taken the time to read the other articles, but it was written like a gossip column.
The article was biased in showing who's side they were on. All I
can say is someone might have had a friend on the inside. Well, they always say "its not what you know but who you know".
It's nothing new; Politics have always demonstrated it's truth of wanting to be in control. It's about the power, the dirt you can dig up on your opponent and how badly you want the job. Are you bad enough to willingly demolish your own people for it? The race becomes about winning, losing is not an option. It's about you getting to control something bigger and better; you get to control a region.
I will say it again, instead of picking a political party, pick the moral values a person holds. Just because someone holds a
record of never being arrested or not having been in any kind of trouble in the public's eyes doesn't mean that person is squeaky clean - no one among us is perfect. Everyone has skeletons in the closet. For me, I will be little wary of the person that has taken the time to unleash dirt about their opponent as opposed to addressing how they can make changes for the good.
I am not putting the person down, that might just be the only way they know how to operate. But, is this the type of
operation we need in office? SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
BACK TO THE TACTICS: I have seen these candidates go as far as pulling criminal records. OKAY, they might have been arrested; heck you are in Florida - you might get arrested for crossing the street. LOL! But, that is no reason to hold it over a person's head. Heck, I have been arrested, beat up by police officers, sold drugs, practiced other religions, stripped and so on, in my own life. That should not stop me from wanting to redeem myself and running for office to help the people.

Hummm, the more I think about it, it sounds like a good idea to run. At least I don't have to worry about them digging up my dirt; I already wrote about it in my book or I'd be happy to share any information publicly that was not mentioned. Ain't no shame in my game.
My point is, stepping on others feet shows, lack of integrity, and the possibility of this person might being a cheater and liar themselves. It is a tactic that the world has always used to get to the top but end up falling.
Is it right? We say it might be because of the economy that people are stepping on others. I don't think so, as I look back in time, the economy was not the reason for corruption, but POWER instead.
Yes, it was all about how you can climb to the top first. It is all about FEAR, man's insecurity of being inferior, or controlled by another.
ARE WE ACTING WORSE THAN ANIMALS? Animal compete for territory, but it looks like men have far exceed the animalistic thinking when it comes to this. The economic downfall is not the cause of the corruption, but greed was the start of treachery.
No matter what religion or human belief we follow, it somehow becomes tainted from an individual's perception of behavior, upbringing or thinking. It has actually taken over like a virus till some of us are too afraid to address it because we don't know who to trust or who to discuss it with for change.
There are some of us that might not care because it doesn't affect our household and family, but that makes it worse. What is sad is that it doesn't stop any of us from being contaminated by the epidemic.
BUSINESS: That goes for business owners also. It is not surprising that some of the world methods is also to work with the corrupted mindset of greed and self-righteousness. If the head is out of order, the body follows.
But, there are those who refuse to be a part of it and they don't mind fighting for truth and justice. They don't need an office or a title. They are the ones that have sold out for righteousness and integrity. They don't mind getting their feet and hands wet or dirty when it comes to the greater good. They don't mind telling it like it is. They don't mind working with moral values. These people are seeing through the mentality of dishonesty and do not worry about separating themselves, they are the trendsetter for a RIGHTEOUS CHANGE.
These people don't think about personal gain but to really carry out the work for the higher power, the Lord of the universe, for Christ! The New Year has just started and if you think or want to stop operating in a corrupted manner, this is a great time to do a self-evaluation of change.
This is Bridget Norvell and I want to thank you for reading my soap box. :D GODSPEED.
