You're watching the World Series.
A fast ball is pitched. You hear the crack of the bat contacting the ball. The ball fuses to the bat. How would people react? You're watching the Super Bowl. The quarterback is running uncontested towards the goal. At the 1 yard line the ball stops like it hit an invisible barrier and hangs in mid air. The quarterback flies across the goal but the ball just hangs in mid air. How would people react? Astronomers find an asteroid that will impact the Earth. Its moving at 22,000 mph and is the size of Olympus Mons. The world prepares for an extinction level event. We watch in horror as it closes in on the Earth. It reaches Earth and bounces off the atmosphere like a balloon. How would people react? Its irrational to expect any of those things as reality. Yet we expect... World Peace Perfect Love Equal Rights Consumption without depletion. |

The definition of "utopia" is: Not of this world. So you see, it can never exist. Lots of people believe in such a fairy tale because it makes them feel better about themselves. You have those who believe in stripping the land in the name of progress under the guias of progressive politics, those who make the world bleed so they feel better about themself and the list goes on. All for this Utopia that is in their minds.
There's a price that must be paid for everything. People don't want to pay it. Or more often then not, make others pay their share. Cause and effect impacts everything and no responsibility for the action is what it's about. |

Great Tom. Makes a lot of sense on the way politicians and judges respond.

Cause and effect impacts everything and no responsibility for the action is what it's about. You hit the nail on the head. People have expectations. Much of the time, those expectations are unrealistic to reality. Thing is, people either know it or don't, yet continue to expect unrealistic things. It fills them with disappointment. It doesn't matter the context. The election, romance, career, life... People place their expectations into the reality and expect an outcome that aligns with their fantasy. Then reality does what it does and things are not as they expected so immediately something failed. Never realizing the failure was in their own expectation. Surprise, surprise...reality doesn't bend to our will. |
