One of my favorite Bible Quotes, a description of the Swedish politics of today ?
”But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child:
but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”
1 Corinthians 13:10-12
It sums up many things of the world of today.
Open thine eyes, and look upon our wondrous world.
Struggle, though not by force, but with logic, understanding and sympathy.
Require nothing less, or more from your fellow beings !
The Swedish politics are flawed, what can we do but try to correct it ?
Love is paramount, but it is not the point I am trying to make.
Love is worthless if it is unanswered,
and in our society of today, there are no respect, no understanding, no tolerance.
And it is our own fault, it is our flawed politics that has been in effect since the 70-ies.
We can not expect any inhabitants of this country to evolve, and better themselves, unless they are spurred to do so. I see a government, trying to correct this flawed politics, yet they do it somewhat covertly since, the people of this country is indoctrinated to believe in the tired phrase :
”From each according to his ability, to each according to his need”.
We all have rights, but we must never forget our obligations !
We must all take responsibility of our own lifes, and we must demand of everyone to strife to do the same. To become a citizen, a fellow citizen who will abide with law, rules and obligations as well as enjoy our rights.
We must be able to feel sympathy with those less fortunate in our society, and we must help them by helping them to be able to help themselves. We cannot have a society where a party of discontent feeds its flame, only because we are afraid to discuss the problems our flawed politics have given us.
We have indeed a problem, and together we must try to correct this problem.
We must strife to find an all-party solution to this problem. It will not be easy, but big battles seldom are.
It can not be done by deception, or evasion, it must be done together.
Do not stop at the symptom of the problem, find the cause,
and correct the problem by removing the cause.
Reach for the sky, or ocean rather !
But once I have grown my own sails, I will return to the costal trade because the best thing with this job, is the manoeuvring, to become one with the ship. To know her, and her quirks, and guide her to where I want her to go.
One is never better then the ship you are guiding, yet, one can strive to ever improve on one’s skill. I guess that this is one of my many faults, I have a need to improve on myself no matter what. I never settle for what is good enough, even if I might say so to people who might be listening.
Life is a steep learning curve, and I try to climb a few step each day.
