Just because the Devil wants to tempt you, does not mean you should let him

and just because our government wants to “mother” us, doesn’t mean we should willingly give up our rights and our freedoms. I am saddened to say this country is turning into a collection of victims. Victims of circumstances is what we are. Let me explain what I mean by this. American’s tend to live their lives, not within their means, but by the grace of credit. Their education has become less and less and it almost seems that every “entitled” little snob has their hand out asking for more.

I want to share a little about myself right now. I am about to loose my job, and even though Unemployment goes against everything I stand for I may have to take it. I have talked to many people about being unemployed. My question is, ” Should I find a crapy little job somewhere? Sacrifice my money for the sake of working? Or should I take the unemployment?” Every single person has said to take the unemployment. This is the mentality I do not like to be around. People seem so eager to take from Government.
This my friend, is a deadly move.

Living in a democratic free country is a heavy burden to bare. To always be the worker bee and never stop is tiring on the soul; but in the end, the rewards are so great. I give my kudos to you, who do this every day. I give my kudos to those of you who work so hard, you are forced to help out those with their hands out. But in the process of American life, within the noisy bee hive, you get distracted and make a deal with the devil. His name is Credit. Don’t get me wrong, credit is just another piece of our system, and I admire it…but.

It seems a bit misguided to be living with so many penalty charges and interest rates, unless you can afford that kind of thing. But many of us forget there is so much more to life than just “slaving” away for the giant corporation. There is so much more to look forward to than the nicest car or the biggest home. Yes, those two things equal the American dream, but it seems so desolate to see more and more people dig themselves in a hole they may never get out of.

Which brings my attention to “Mother government.” Even if you yourself can never climb your way out of the hole, there is still assistance from various handouts and programs. I don’t know if I am stretching this a little, but it seems the more rules, regulations and programs The government lays forth; the American people have no way to prosper or move ahead. It is kind of aggravating to be worrying about my own personal life, turn around and have to worry about my government’s stupidity also.

Are we allowing the government to shadow our live like a mother? Are we allowing too man handouts to be given to us…too many new policies to be written for us? Are we allowing our rights to be taken away…simply because we do not fight for them? It seems we have an epidemic. We have spoiled and entitled little children running about with their hands out, ruining everything for the people like you and me, who just want to be left alone. We just want to be left to our independent little selves…
