Washington Gossip

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     The truth is that sometimes it does seem like The White House is just an ordinary household, running the usual business of a home - but just at the level of the public. Being in the media and public eye. The criticism and praise from parties at the national level, and the public offices could simply be viewed as other households, responding to what takes place at The White House. In a sense: a tight community, or the simple gossip that takes place within small town communities. To take this to a personal level, I have to admit, I am not one who favours gossip. But the fact is that, essentially what we see as the macro / Governmental levels - where public offices are open to the scrutiny, and praise of others. We can take a current example of the abortion topic. This is a reoccurring topic / debate, where we see laws passed to allow women to abort. To tie the topic to the idea of gossip, we can refer to the following tweet by President Trump:

As a response to the above tweet I think its an example of gossip, but at the level of the public. But this tweet becomes problematic, when we think about how a personal belief, has the influence to drive political policy, but then contradicts the very essence of belief. The Worthy. The Forgiving.

     His tweet sends out a sense of judgment, judging, stereotyping, and creating a prejudice towards others, in a sense gossiping about others, or what is disliked, at the Presidential level. But once again we can refer to belief and religious teaching. If on the one hand there is a desire for the perseverance of life, and on the other we are criticizing and stereotyping others, then we are contradicting the belief / teaching system. But the tweet was more hypocritical, because we can go back and forth and talk about the intimate life of President Trump, but then that would just mean I'm gossiping about him, wouldn't it? 

​     With regards to abortion itself, I do have my own views. It is especially a sensitive topic, especially if one desires to adhere to a religious teaching / belief. However, without generalizing or saying / providing a dichotomous answer - I think that we have to evaluate on a case by case basis, and offer solutions, so that life can be preserved as much as possible, because when we examine the final truth, about the desire for an abortion; If there is no danger to the life of the mother, or any reason that substantiates abortion, the act really is about putting one heart to death and keeping the other heart alive.
