Civic Responsibility

We have a civic responsibility To Insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common good, and provide justice for all people. That is the duty of government and we our the government. President Trump said that The people our going to take back the government and It is time that we must make this true. That means that each of us must do our duty and accept our responsibility as citizens
What is a citizens ? A person who believes That all men are created Equal and wants to live in peace in a society where all are equal under the law. He is willing to do what is necessary to promote and defend the rights of all people to become the best they can become.
citizenship is an idea.
A citizens is anyone who believes in that idea.
If you do not feel your brother’s pain you are causing it.
If you are not a part of the solution you our part of the problem.
If your table is full and your neighbor's is empty you both have a problem.
Are not crimes committed by desperate people who need help? Any situation Where there our winners and losers we all lose. We must look for solutions that benefit all for any other solution will only create more problems. We must never fight against something but for something, never in hate but always in love.
The most valuable resource is a human being and we must not waste that resource do to the lack of food, shelter, healthcare or education. The job of every citizen is to make life better and on a personal level It pays very well
No One may know what the future may bring but we all need to prepare for it together.
Please let me know if you are a good citizen or if I can help you in any way to become one.

Lucky: President Trump said that 'The people' are going to take back the government and It is time that we must make this true.

Erimitus: What does 'The People' mean?

Erimitus: Who are 'The People' going to take the government from?

Erimitus: What is the government?

Comment: Veracity does not seem to be one of Trumps stronger points.

Erimitus: I (as usual) am confused. If 'the people' are the government how are they going to take the government back from themselves?

Civic Responsibility
President Trump said that The people our ARE going to take back the government



Fixed that for you.

But...back on your topic....anyone that believed that Trump was going to do that was/is either very gullible or very stupid.

Trump is not about THE PEOPLE. Never was, and never will be.

Also his ideas (and they really are not formulated political policies nor political ideology) do not mesh with your (as in uckyboy44) social ideology.

To do the things you want, you are going to have to wait for at least the next election and start voting for politicians that think like you do... not Trump.

Comment: A citizen is a member of a society.

Comment: Ideally Citizens (i.e., members of a society) have equal rights. In actual practice social status, wealth, race, and gender are factors.

Comment: Citizens are required to follow the rules of the society that they are in.

Comment: Citizens have rights, privileges and duties.

Comment: Citizens are expected do their duty.

There must always be winners and losers.
It is the dynamic of change.
The transfer of energy.
Transfer of energy is work.
Without work nothing happens.
Without winners and losers, nothing happens
If there is no change, there is no improvement.
Dynamics are essential for progress.

Jung described an old religious idea in his writings that God ruled the world with two hands. A right hand and left hand that were called mercy and justice. He believed, correctly, that society could not survive with just one or the other.

With the right hand alone, mercy, nobody would be prodded on to adopt the trappings and needed responsibility that come with being an adult. You end up in a world where you are forgiven for absolutely everything you do wrong and the right things that you fail to do, and so the human spirit gets imprisoned in a sort of perpetual adolescence. You are thrust into the Freudian nightmare of the Oedipal model. Your failures are all suddenly unimportant and you end up living with mom and dad into adulthood where you squalor and develop fantasies of shooting up schools. Mercy in excess produces pathology.

But the same is true of justice simply because we aren't perfect, and the human animal is destined to fail sometimes. We should be held to account for our failures through justice but it has to be tempered with mercy. Justice provides rules and those who play by them can move upward and win...but the ingredient of mercy has to be there so that we can be forgiven our failures and try again if we lose.

You have to have both in a society because if you don't, the society either becomes stagnant and eventually mired in excess and laziness, or it is doomed to become a dystopia of robotic worker ants.

We need winners and losers, but there must be built into that system a method by which the losers are granted the opportunity to become winners as long as they have tried and are not breaking the rules (basically, as long as they are not criminals).
