What is the best mode of getting results for whatever goal one has in mind? Persuasion is good but if the format is based upon bullying another into believing whatever one is using as a focus what is the underlying motivation for this? It may simply be hype, prejudice and bias fueling these goals.
The media loves chaos and drama it seems so it will grab any means to advertise an opinion or belief and run with this. Certain sources are factual but this often is not a concern if the piece will stir frenzy among its readers or listeners. Many media outlets are no better than tabloid hype yet those living in a fearful and paranoid world will grab onto these stories and believe they are gospel. Twisting facts or omitting them seems to be all part of the game.
In politics some politicians seem to have no sound format at all and depend upon smearing their opponent with innuendo and gossip that would embarrass a high school student. They do not seem to have a working consciousness for fairness and are only looking to win in any manner it takes to achieve their goals. Honest politicians get dumped into the same category of being untrustworthy and shysters as those that are untrustworthy and shysters.
As far as religion is concerned those that are faithful to their beliefs and keep this private are constantly battling the Bible Thumpers and control freaks that constantly threaten and malign anyone that doesn’t go along with their particular path. They use fear and paranoia to gather the gullible making religion appear to be a ruse and filled with crooks and liars.
How do we sift through the true and honest to find those that have the entire country in mind for progress and change? Can we weed out the shysters pulling shenanigans to create a country based up honor and equality for all? Granted individually we aren’t going to have everything in life as we wish yet compromise will get us a lot further than fighting among each other and bringing the downfall of a very beautiful country. Perhaps we need to begin questioning anyone that uses hype and dishonorable methods to sway the public.
