This blog entry is a catharsis as a result of yesterday's presidential election. The feelings and emotions are almost too much to bear. So, I am going to "write them out." Here goes:
Why is there so much hate in this country? I don't understand how this happens other than it is fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of lack, fear of limitation, fear of loss. Fear that maybe, just maybe, they may be wrong. Maybe that person with a darker skin is really a very nice person. Maybe the person who goes to a mosque is really a gentle, caring being. Maybe the person from across the world could become your best friend and then what would you do.
I am frustrated too with those who know what is best for others in all situations. Specifically the ProLife vs. ProChoice issue. ProChoice means everyone is going to have to have an abortion. ProChoice people are pro abortion, want to kill babies. Bull sh#*. I am ProChoice. I do not believe in abortions but sometimes they may be the best option. What I want to ask those who are ProLife 1) have you adopted? 2) have you fostered? 3) have you volunteered to help abandoned/abused children? 4) have you done anything to help parents who are having a challenging time emotionally or financially raising their children? Probably not. Most people are ProBirth. Once the child is here, it is not their problem.
Another frustration is insurance. You don't like Obamacare cause the premiums are too high. Yes they are high. So are the CEO's salaries. Well, if our president elect has his way, we won't have the Affordable Care Act much longer. We also won't have insurance if we have a pre-existing condition. Many children will be uninsured. And premiums will still be high. You can count on that.
I could rant some more about so many things but I already feel so much better. Sometimes it is necessary to vent. I am ready to go high. Don't like the low road. Thanks Michelle Obama.
I'm still not happy about the result. I am disappointed in those who allowed their fears to control them; however, Hillary did receive more of the popular vote. That tells me that there are more progressive people who truly want to make this country and world a better place. But I am ready to move on. I don't like this anger and frustration that has consumed me today.
As the lightworker I claim to be I am committed to move forward in Light and Love. Ideas are forming in my psyche to assist in the recovery of love in this country. My deepest desires are to bring light to the dark places, to overcome hate with love, and to provide solutions to the anger.
So this is not the end of the world no matter how it feels. It isn't over. I believe Light and Love will prevail. Creation can be messy. My part is to speak the truth of my being. If you are offended, I really don't care.
Thank you for "listening" to my rant. It feels good.
Please check my website in the next few weeks (www.maredaeckert.com). Ideas are stirring in my mind and heart. Will keep you posted.
Peace and blessings!
