It’s been two days now since protests got out of hand in Washington D.C. and the halls of Congress were breached by protesters. I won’t get into what I believe were the cause(s) that led to the incident. This act of lawlessness did confirm one thing for me. That one thing is my evolution or journey to becoming a voluntarist. According to Wikipedia, “Voluntarism, sometimes referred to as voluntary action, is the principle that individuals are free to choose goals and how to achieve them within the bounds of certain societal and cultural constraints, as opposed to actions that are coerced or predetermined.”
I’m not going to bore you with the story of my evolution to voluntarism. Suffice it to say is that I have traveled the spectrum of political affiliation (except the extremist ends) and I have found that in the end I get nothing out of it. “Wait till next election.” “We can’t let them win.” “That other side is evil.” Does any of that sound familiar. I never gain anything.
I don’t want to be involved in choosing my earthly master anymore. I have more important things to do than choosing a side. I’m not going to say that I won’t vote at all in the local elections. Government on a local scale can be the most oppressive of them all.
I’m not writing this to bring you into the voluntarism fold. The only thing I suggest is that we should all embrace humanity when it comes to others you may disagree with. I struggle with that sometimes. Sometimes I just have to walk away. We better start building more personal relationships and offering value to others in the form of knowledge, experience, products, or services.
In this world there is a “ruling class” far above what we see in government in our country and in other countries. Their aim and objective is to strip people of their humanity and their identity. Perhaps I should say their very soul. They are the unseen hand that moves our leaders. This is not some “tin hat” conspiracy. Google “The Great Reset”. Or better yet use Duckduckgo.
Embrace your identity as the unique human being that you are. Love your family. Educate yourself. And finally never forget biblical wisdom and guidance. “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15, NKJV)
