I have never understood....

When the opposite of logic, reason and goodness overtake the action, therein lies trouble and evil.

I have never understood how one can be "pro-life" and fiercely support war.

 

I have never understood how one can claim to be a person of faith and scapegoat others of different races or ethnicities.

 

I have never understood how an industrialized world power such as ours can adopt the assumption that human "rights" are privileges granted by the state and therefore subject to be denied by the state.

 

I have never understood the justification for a government elected to govern, protect, assist and promote its own people to consider those same constituents counterproductive and subversive while it elevates the corporations and upper economic classes to produce wealth for the state, preferring to deny social, economic, educational, health programs for the very people whose taxes fund the government and invest in the corporations.

 

I have never understood the notion that nations achieve superiority through war and consequently men achieve superiority through combat.

 

I have never understood where God, Christ or any Prophet of any faith is found in these concepts promoted and upheld by some in today's world.

 

I have never understood why people follow and I just don't understand...
