Even though from time to time G-Pop has been known to offer social commentary on the world we habitate–sometimes biting–he is fully aware that the only truly effective criticism is that which he offers to his own deeds.
You can’t change the world if you can’t change yourself.
With that in mind, G-Pop would like to reflect back one day. Yesterday he presented a Dudley cartoon about the hurricane. It was pithy, cute–and a little dark. Although he doesn’t think there was anything particularly wrong with the approach, it did lack edification.
What is edification?
Edification is saying or doing what you feel needs to be said and done, never forgetting that the goal is to improve matters.
Comedy is funny if at the heart of the humor there is a desire to expose foolishness and welcome freshness.
G-Pop will never be politically correct, but if he has a passion to correct the political, he must make sure it comes from an abiding sense of hope and charity instead of dismal dismay.
So with that in mind, trying to be an example to his children, as of this morning, G-Pop is taking down yesterday’s Dudley cartoon.
No one complained. No one reacted unfavorably. But the comic was not worthy of the message G-Pop envisions imparting to the world around him at this time.
The lesson here is simple:
Is what you’re saying, thinking and doing coming from a place of vision for mankind?
Or are you jumping ship because you no longer believe in the voyage?
The producers of jonathots would humbly request a yearly subscription donation of $10 for this wonderful, inspirational opportunity
