How About Loving Thy Neighbor As Thyself



Will the Corona Virus cause a recession in the sales of condoms? Will it affect one night stands? Or will it only cause the rise in soap sales? Washing one's hands after touching the inside and outside of the most intimate parts of the human body!!! Just asking since I was pondering the important questions affecting the human race!!!


Some of my best friends whom I know for over 70 or 80 years and some a little less believe everything Trump and Fox News says about the latest illness or political question or financial reason why Trump isn't a crook.  These people voted for him and will continue to vote for him. They are well educated and for the most part lives an intelligent and respectful life. Yet they just don't care how immoral he is and that's a conclusion just based on Trump's own words as to how many times he committed adultery, touch women  where they certainly didn't want to be touched and violated the dressing rooms of naked young ladies and bragged about all this. Also he is not shy in letting people know he is raking in millions just by having people who want favor stay and pay at his hotels and country clubs while his children run his business making deals that will mean millions in the future as his daughter just did in getting Copyrights from China yet his supporters don't care that he and his family does all this. How the hell can this happen right before our eyes and these very intelligent and perceptive people not see it all?


Our moral leaders are supposed to be found in our religions Christianity, Judaism, all the isms yet we find when push comes to shove many of them are immoral in many ways which include sex, money and the degrading of women. Women are burned alive in India for not bearing children or so it is said but they are abused and degraded for whatever reason and the religious leaders in countries where this is allowed don't do a damn thing about it gibing tacit approval to these practices. A women is stoned for having sex with a married man but nothing is done to him except maybe a wink and nod because he got his. Maybe he should be stoned! Of course I don't mean that all I mean is how can we have a moral compass when the compass is broken our religious leaders, many of them maybe most of them, are false leaders who want to have us do what they say as we tithe while they lives rich lives and do whatever they want to do.



There will be peace when love is driving force of our existence not greed, lust and judgmental laws that favor the powerful that keep the poor and weak on their knees so that those in power can become more powerful and rich. It's not rocket science, "Love your neighbor as you love yourself" aint a crazy thought for if we want the best for everyone, including ourselves we would all be at peace for there would be nothing to go to war about.
