Blindness

The last four years have been difficult for any thinking person, for any person paying attention. It has not only been difficult because of the criminal intentions and activities of the Trump administration, but because of the seeming blindness to those intentions and activities by those around all of us, our fellow country men and women who cannot, or refuse to see the nature of the administration.

There is a blindness to such unadulterated adoration for such a blatantly bad person and the Republican party that continues to support him and what he stands for. And what does The Trump administration stand for, and the Republican party support? If their actions and rhetoric are considered, then it would seem that they stand for spite, revenge, hatred, fear, greed, and ignorance.

But there is more to it, there must be. There must be because there are those we love who seem blind to these human weaknesses, these frailties, these shortcomings. There must be because we cannot love those with such blackness in their hearts. It is not the politics, those within are blinded by their own stupidity and power lust, but those people, those in our lives? Those that we care about?

They must be lying, but they are not.

They must know they are mistaken, but they do not.

They must be blind to their mistakes, and we must not be mistaken about their blindness.
