Follow your own compass

Think about it for a minute,..... How is it possible to appease everyone? Mind you my first inclination was to say "how is it possible to make everyone happy?, but that is a conundrum without finality so, I think it's better put that way.  Is it possible to find a medium whereas all parties can find solace? Politics, and Rreligion are so-called definitely out of bounds, but so is almost every other subject on the map. For instance Gay Marriage, how is it possible that someone outside the confines of the relationship itself can have an opinion one way or the other? Think of the audaciousness of an individual who chooses to relate publically his/her opinion regarding the status of two people that will in all likihood never impact their lives. Quite naturally we all have private opinions regarding almost anything, but once one takes the step of publically taking one side or the other, the die has been cast, so to speak. What gives us the right to assemble teams, (the shirts, against the skins) pro, or con regarding other people's lives. There are innumerable subjects out there i.e., Abortion, Voting Rights (and all that surrounds it), Unionization, etc,etc. but one that doesn't fall in that catagory because it directly affects peoples lives (or death) is Gun Control and/or the lack thereof it. While my personal feelings are of no consequence (and neither are yours), its these teams that get assembled to sway opinion either way that cause so much of the confusion. A popular ploy regarding this subject is to throw the amendment issue in, but in actuality how many of these people have taken the time to read it (the actual document) for themselves and ponder the true meaning of what it says? I suspect not many. Its probably like people telling you what the Bible says and they got most of their information through word of mouth, handed down from where, they couldn't tell you if their survival depended on it. I'm not trying to be devisive, but if you didn't read it for yourself and truly (and I reinterate) truly gain an understanding of it, how on earth could you form an opinion one way or the other. But of course people do....all day every day, So basically you're leaving your hall pass to heaven in the hands of Joe Schmo. While that sounds crude, its exactly what you're doing if you have'nt read, understood, and came to a conclusion on the information for yourself...even, no especially if it's the Bible that's important in your life. We all would do good to remember the story of Chicken Little and the moral of it. If you are one of the fortunate one's to have control of that thing we call a brain take the opportunity to use it and stop just jumping on others bandwagon because it sounds good, or is the politically correct thing to do. You were given tha wondrous organ for a reason. Stay in your lane, you'll find it can be enlightening.
