” AN HONEST MAN “

When the philosopher Diogenes was asked, ” Why do you go about with a lamp in broad daylight?” He confessed, ” I am looking for an honest man”.

Can I assume ( yes, I know what a happens when you assume) there is none among us that has never used the following excuses:” He or she made me do it”, ” It”s not you, it’s me” ( usually a break up relationshsip), ” That never occurred to me”, or ” It’s not my fault”. The bottom line, we have all been thrown ” under the bus” from time to time. Sadly to say, in today’s world being held accountable for one’s actions is null and void.

Please excuse me while I take a moment to regurgiate today’s world. I am not sure if the people supposedly in charge of the world irritate me the most, or the people who follow them like sheep jumping off a cliff. How gullible we have become to accept a person’s ideology on Monday and on Tuesday their ideology has rotated a hundred and eighty degrees. While I have one foot on my soap box, why on God’s green earth would anyone be inclined to run for public office ( except for potential financial gains). You do realize your public and personal life ( true or false ) will be plastered all over the world. Not until this last election did I realize three streets over was a bank robber, car thief, and scam artist running for the school board. ( Not true, it was four streets over—just some levity there).

Maybe it’s me, but if a political ad can sway my vote there is a problem with me. Can I get an amen on term limits? However,I am reminded Jesus was crucified for thirty pieces of silver. If all the political rhetoric is correct I must ask the question, ” Is there an honest person among them”?

Be safe
