It bombards me daily, like relentless hail. Every single ad on television, social media, news feeds, games—you name it—begins by telling you what you should do, or what you are doing wrong. Add to that a voting season of endless political spots and rallies, then another perpetual year of lawmakers informing us of every new thing we should do or not worry about. Their freedom only takes away from our freedom. It just wears me out! The amount of money that is made by making us feel inadequate or unworthy must be astronomical. I have always been somewhat rebellious, so I just detest being told ad nauseam what to do. In reality, it is only for their good, not always ours. And don’t we all, deep inside, already know what we should do? One rule or law is so easily forgotten in all this rulemaking. In fact, virtually all religions and tenets hold this principle self-evident. The Golden Rule! Simply treat others as you would want to be treated. In fact—this is core to how we demonstrate our love for God. Not with words, but with actions. This ONE BIG THING, if heeded more, could eliminate thousands of other things. Helping! OH, and I got a bit carried away with short Halloween poems. Because I was told we are supposed to be terrified during voting season. And I am… Let’s all enjoy the colder days ahead, knowing that we will find warmth as a community that honestly cares. Your friend, Doug
