Power to the Person

I don't trust "people."  I don't think "people" are good or do good.  And I especially don't believe or respect anyone who represents the "people."


I can trust a person.  I believe a person can be good and do good.  And I can respect and believe a person representing HIS views on behalf of other persons.



Dennis Prager's latest column speaks to this very idea.  He writes:



  • "The more people come to rely on government, the more they develop a sense of entitlement -- an attitude characterized by the belief that one is owed (whatever the state provides and more). This is a second big government blow to character development because it has at least three terrible consequences:First, the more one feels entitled, the less one believes he has to work for anything. Why work hard if I can look to the state to give much of what I need, and, increasingly, much of what I want? Second, the more one feels entitled, the less grateful one feels. This is obvious: The more one expects to be given, the less one is grateful for what one is given. Third, the more entitled and the less grateful one feels, the angrier one becomes. The opposite of gratitude is not only ingratitude, it is anger. People who do not get what they think they are entitled to become angry."

This is a truth of life and undeniable.  People are not grateful, but a person can be.

-Think men, think!
