You Are The Government You Have Been Waiting For


I saw this while traveling into Los Angeles via train one day.
It is what government from the ground-up looks like.
Please visit Lava Mae, and learn why this rhetorical question was asked of the Lord.

Rhetoric is part of the toolbox of politics.

Like air pressure for an air-hammer, or the tool of a compressor used for construction.

Rhetoric, the art of presenting difficult subjects in softer manners, can be lost in the effort.

Sobering facts can be swayed, justified, and somehow convincing in cloudy ways.

A call to war, a budget cut, the execution of a prisoner, and many more things... can be somehow argued as 'good'.

I think political rhetoric between secular leaders (regardless their ideology, their political affiliation, their religion, and their citizenship) depends on unity among the respective populous.

Have people been convinced?

If so, political leadership can do practically anything that comes to mind.

This is history's legacy: the sins of mankind... and also the glorious moments... and all points in between.

Some think a certain political leader has very little unity among the broad reaches in his imperial or state fiefdom.

Some think all peoples in any given polity are united, and alliances lean towards the stronger state or culture showing supremacy in either the east, the west, the north, the south.

The people on the ground know more certainly the disunity (or unity and alliances), and whether such bonds are obvious and overt... and only the people know the fragmentation as something worth pointing out and looking at.

I don't think the 'fight' is one of physical manners, but spirit.

It has always been the spirit within an individual, and then the collective mindset revealing deeper spiritual sentiments.

These reveal what compels people to compassion... or indifference.

There are some people who are united with all people across the globe according to a kindred spirit.

It is not the surface issues of politics, economics, religions, or other distractions that unite... for these, on their surface, convinces people to be at odds.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Despite nationalities, political ideology, and ethnic prejudices, there are some people who 'see' themselves in others.

These people thus recognize their brothers and sisters in others not externally similar.

These people know love for their neighbors, and possibly love for their 'enemies'.

Of course, these sentiments are unpopular in political circles and dangerous to suggest from a political stance.

This is why talking heads and power brokers occupying high seats of secular government, because it is by force and not service such places are attained... but God has established His king on earth.

This type of 'rhetoric' is the place of love, of spirit, of peace, and rarely resides in secular places.

Looking to secular sources as places of kindness is a fool's effort, and the rhetoric is laced with poison mixed with sugar.

Listening too closely to secular arguments, that rhetoric laced with hate disguised as love, will have you hating not only your neighbor, but likely yourself.
