Thought of the day: “When your values are what drives you, then you are consistent in applying those values. Your task is then functional, to make it work.”
Example of a value: “my body, my choice”. If you believe that, and you then say abortion, for example, is your choice because it’s your body, and the government should not force you into something you don’t want…. Then you would believe that government should not mandate the jab for covid to those who don’t want to take it.
If your values form your basis of thinking, then you would be consistent in opposing governmental controls/restrictions regarding medical procedures.
If, however, you think “my body, my choice” when it comes to abortion but believe the government can/should deny the livelihoods/businesses, freedom of movement, freedom of association to those who refuse the covid jab…. Then you don’t operate by values. Instead you operate by your preferences, your own views.
You operate by what benefits you.
A word of warning from history, both hundreds of years ago and ten minutes ago: government will take away your freedoms. Government is made up of people….who operate by what benefits them. And…inevitably….they will deny what you want.
Then where will you be? Having abandoned values, what will you stand on? How will you operate in freedom?
Action: 1) Decide whether you truly value rights, liberties, and freedoms.
2) Decide whether you’re willing to support those for others, even if you happen to disagree with some of their thinking or actions?
3) Decide how you will support those who are being attacked for their values and principles (not just their ideas/actions).
4) Stay with #3. Because you have to work hard at it. It’s not easy. And those who don’t operate by values of rights, liberties, and freedoms, are manipulative. Recognize that you can be manipulated (practice humility enough to admit you can be duped).
5) Stay with #3.
6) Come back for more. We will re-build our country and are values.
