From the title of this blog, you probably think I’ll be talking about grammar rules. WRONG!
I’m actually gonna be delving into culture / political issues. I know, I know. I can already hear people complaining. But this is my blog, I pay for it, so I can speak my mind. If you don’t like it, there’s the way out.
You probably have to be older than the hills to understand this reference. 😂🤣 So let’s jump into the fray.
Are you a BECAUSE this happened to me person, or an EVEN THOUGH this happened to me person? If you’re the first instead of the latter, that’s why our country / society is so screwed up.
A BECAUSE type of person is someone who makes excuses for their actions. They usually feel sorry for themselves and blames everyone else for their problems.
Hey, I get it. When I was a teenager, I used to dwell in self-pity. But back in my day, we were told, ‘Quit feeling sorry for yourself. It’s unbecoming.’ And it is. No one likes people who whine all the time.
This VICTIMHOOD is killing our nation. I deserve this because such-and-such happened to me. My life sucks because such-and-such happened to me. I want to ruin your life because such-and-such happened to me.
Geez, grow up! You bring nothing to the table with all your negativity.
But our current government LOVES this attitude because it’s dividing our country. You know that old saying, Divide and Conquer. Yep, that’s where we are. On the verge of civil war.
So, what about the EVEN THOUGH people?
These are people that no matter what life throws at them, they grit their teeth and keep on moving forward with their lives. No matter how painful, no matter how much suffering. Cuz’ we all know life ain’t fair.
Is it easy? Of course it’s not.
But when you’re lying on your deathbed, looking back at your life, do you want to see all the negativity that you caused? All the people you stole joy from?
Or do you want to be proud of your choices? That when you came to that fork in the road of BECASUSE or EVEN THOUGH, you choose to suck it up and keep on trucking. For yourself and the people around you.
And the greatest thing is, if you are a BECAUSE person, you can change. Changing one’s mindset isn’t easy either. But you can do it. I know you can. Let’s make this world a better place for everyone.
The only people who believe we’re on the verge of civil war are people who follow our ex-President. They’re the one’s who tried to execute a coup on Jan 6th, and also the one’s just itching to gun down liberals. Why is that? Is it because you all watch Fox News and they gin you up with fear and lies? The rest of us just want to vote for people who don’t hate government and are trying to dismantle it, and who won’t legislate people’s private lives.
I started to outline why your “Because vs Even Though” take is simplistic and privileged, but that’s not my job. You can learn to see the state of race relations in this country as nuanced and complex, or you can continue to rely on simplistic false equivalencies. You’re an adult, you can use google to educate yourself beyond Fox News fearmongering—or not.
And you just made an assumption and judgement that is false. I heave NEVER watched Fox News. And to lump everyone who doesn’t believe in your liberal views as Trump followers is also short-sighed.
There was no coup on January 6th. They did no more than what Anti-fa or BLM did for many years prior to that. If it was a true run at taking over the government, there would have been guns. Lots and lots o guns there. But there wasn’t.
Maybe you should use other sources than Google for your information as they are also in the liberal’s pockets and enact censorship.
Peace to you and yours.
