Hungry People
Ignoring our responsibility to the Constitution
Will we ever learn that we are here to help one another? Leave the saving of souls to God and do what our social contract demands. The negative costs we are extracting from our form of democracy will soon cost us our liberty. The United States of America was founded to promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty. These are two of the five missions of the Constitution. We must awaken and honor our social contract. We have social responsibilities to fill.
The American appetite for apathy is fed by our worship of a myopic perspective of life. Worshipping the rich, self-anointing for prophesying the “true religion”, and providing delusions of grandeur to our heightened egos are not included in our social contract. Are we no longer a people to believe? Can someone really believe in something they do not practice? Should someone be believed if they do not practice what they profess? Are Americans to be believed and trusted if their missions are no longer pursued? The Constitution of the United States is what provides our freedoms, and it requires much of us. We are failing our social contract to it and with each other.
Helping people is less expensive than hating people. Helping is effective and required if people are to be free. Hate is an infectious cancer. We are hating more than helping. Americans are willing to spare no expense in the pursuit of extravagance. This must stop for liberty to survive. Americans must realize the damage unbridled capitalism is causing. One area that is easy to quantify and verifiable is hunger in America. It exists because of our selfish pursuit of privilege. Here are some figures that should awaken all Americans.
47,000,000 Americans experience daily hunger
13,000,000 American children do not have enough food
50,000,000 Americans rely on food pantries
Millions go hungry in a country that boasts of its excess and provides billionaires the privileges normally provided only in authoritarian regimes. We must take our responsibility to our Constitution. We must look at ourselves in the mirrors and correct our course if Americans are to be believed and trusted. The world sees our reflection, while Americans remain willfully blind. We celebrate privilege and ignore the responsibility to our Constitution. Each of us must take our responsibility to our cause of freedom more seriously.
