The Party of Hypocrisy

I spent way too long in the party of hypocrisy, defending their bipolar narcissist swings, but it's time they were called out on it.

For example in the years after the Covid outbreak, the party would scream my body my choice about being free to decide what to do with their own bodies in being able to choose whether to get a vaccine.  Then, they switched to now wanting to stop people from choosing to TAKE the vaccine.  Similarly, they are now wanting to stop even adults from taking hormone blockers for transgender procedures (while having no problems with viagara to get it up for sex), stop women from reproductive health choices, and more.

They also spent decades saying they don't have religious freedom, only to start mandating their version of faith upon everyone when they get into power.  They claimed state rights was supreme over federal power, til they got federal power.  Now, they want to stop states from defending college diversity programs, environmental protections, and more.  They claimed they wanted to support cops, only to start targeting federal law enforcement for elimination.  

The list goes on and on.  I left the party years ago in part when I realized what they say about themselves wanting freedom does not equate to freedoms they give to other points of view.  In the end in their mind, there is only one way.  When that is out of favor, they claim victimization.  When they get power, they see themselves as the instrument of God to impose their view on others.  And, that is both the definition of fascism and the exact qualities of a narcissist.. which I've had way too much experience in knowing.  I've given way too much support to those with which I disagree, only to have support for myself cut the moment they disagree with me.  We will not know freedom, until we separate ourselves from those who cannot stand us being.... ourselves.

Follow Your Bliss

I think it was a couple years ago that I first discovered Joseph Campbell.  I had heard the phrase "follow your bliss" but hadn't given it much thought til that moment.  It just sounded like a holiday card that seemed too impractical.  But, upon digging into it and applying it to my life, it became one log in the fire upon which my self esteem and direction was formed. " Follow your bliss. If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be. If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else " So many people walk around saying to others and themselves that they do...

Reframe Happiness

When you “reframe” something, it doesn’t always mean to be delusional about it… though some move in that direction.  They don’t accept reality, so they change their perception of reality to fit their circumstances.  Indeed, I got into several past bad social connections with people because I reframed their lack of effort, empathy, or romantic actions to be just that it was underneath but just not seen.  But.. to quote the Bible (not as a holy source but collection of passed down maxims on life), faith without works is dead.  What it means is if you can’t see its effects in some way, it’s not there.  That’s not just true of faith but is a life application principle for judging what is or is not, as well.  Even Jesus said to judge a plant by its presence of fruit… love, joy, peace, patience, etc.. or not.   But, what if the FRUIT and TRUTH suggests a path is not functioning to bring you happiness?  Then, you might want to reframe what you NEED to be...
