G-Pop wonders if the current crop of ears listening to the corny dialogue from the field of candidates is totally aware of the dangers.
Would they even consider the insights of a young preacher from 2000 years ago, who warned that his generation was like a bunch of “children sitting in the marketplace”–the message being that since they’re children, they aren’t ready for the marketplace, but instead, better suited for the playground?
So the danger in politics and religion is that we end up with a clump of childish scoundrels. It’s difficult to look at them as criminals because they are so inexperienced, but impossible to consider them viable, since they are so bratty.
The definition of childish is anyone who thinks their feelings are more important than the truth.
So when you look at Marco, Hillary, Ted, Ben, Jeb, Bernie, Donald and John, you realize that each one has some endearing qualities which are certainly tainted by a fussy need to come across superior.
We must understand that superior is only achieved when inferior is confronted and corrected.
So what should be the profile of those who desire to rule over us and reign in the “land of the free and the home of the brave?”
A simple phrase:
“I am capable.”
- I am capable of good things, which my campaign manager will now recite to you in detail.
- I am capable of bad things, which my opponents will soon find, so to free them from that exhausting task, I will confess myself.
- And I am capable of learning by listening to the wisdom of others and their counsel, and adjusting myself to the reality of the present predicament.
These candidates want to express their readiness–yet no one is ready to be President of the United States. The job description changes daily, with the focus landing squarely on varied skills at a moment’s notice. You cannot prepare for such a mission. What you need to do is learn to submit to each situation as it arises.
I am capable.
“I am capable of good things, bad things and learning better things.”
G-Pop does not have any desire to endorse a candidate, but he’s happy to tell you that the wisdom expressed by that itinerant teacher 2000 years ago still holds true.
Children in the marketplace will turn childish when confronted by difficulty.
Escaping childishness requires that we humble ourselves by celebrating the good, acknowledging the bad … and arriving, every day, with a willing attitude.
