Jonathan Heatt's Blog: Teaching Snapping Turtles - Posts Tagged "society"

A social activist and a gangster are twins split by moral courage, circumstances, and/or the values they were indoctrinated into. They have as much in common with each other as they do differences. Only the paraffin of purpose separates the two.

Both know right from wrong. Only one cares.

Both are ready to die for their beliefs. Fearless. Only one is selfless.

Both excel and lead.

One was taught to get theirs, another was taught to change the world for the better so everyone can get theirs.

I'm just a writer residing in the middle of the spectrum observing the proscenium we call society. So I wonder what would happen if the gangsters all became activists, and tilted the balance for social justice.

When we look at another person and judge them, we oftentimes judge ourselves.

The mirror is cracked by extremes. Gangsters kill. Activists save lives.

If I had a Doppelganger I would tell them to put down a gun, and pick up a book.

2020 is the year that saw the rise of liberal fascists, who no longer believe in “My body, my choice.” Sure, it’s fine for women who kill their unborn children, but not for people like me who believe in healthy autonomy. They will continue to cling to their masks in the false hopes of Halloween while I continue to get exercise, vitamins C and D , and drink my wine and smoke my weed. Seems to be working just fine for me. I’ll refrain from imposing my beliefs on the sheep.
