Denmark And Happiness
Look at that? Twenty Dollar minimum wage, 33 hour work week, Free College Education, Free Childcare and Free Healthcare...And you ask SHOULD AMERICA follow the lead? Should they?
I think everybody should follow this lead...but this won't happen and you know why?Because...The leaders of the United States and other so called civilized nations don't really care about or want it's population happy....Sounds harsh and irresponsible doesn't it?
Think about it for a minute...
We have a congress and an entire political party that is dedicated to making sure that certain people of a certain race, a certain sex, a certain nationality and a certain economic class live miserable lives....
Am I being extremist? Am I being irresponsible??? Who is it that votes against health care , a higher minimum wage and more funding for public school education consistantly? I'll leave it at that...
We aren't even talking about a shorter work week...or childcare for working parents or making a college education more affordable....These people demonize the poor and middle class and they drag out racism and biases to keep these sectors fighting each other constantly and even convince some of these very poor that it is in their best interest not to have a higher minimum wage, not to have a shorter workweek, not to have better public schools..not to have better highways and railroads...and I could go on...How they pull that off is miraculous...but they do it...
The result..24/7 misery...Nowhere near close to Denmark and Happiness...
No...The powers that be in America are not the least bit interested in your happiness..or well being...They are only interested in keeping the one percent of this nation that has the highest wealth happy....Everybody else's well being be damned...
We are a long way from Denmark and Happiness.

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: My heart is heavy with my own failures. I try to excuse them and explain to myself why they occurred, because I want to be free from the feeling that I am unworthy and incapable of being all that I can be. But I find it easier to accept your forgiveness than to forgive myself. When I try to forgive myself, it seems I only remember and re-play my failures in my mind, and a sense of hopelessness floods over me. Help me to know that my past actions are a part of my growing humanity and that even when I fail to live up to what is your will for me, every single moment can be lived anew. Remind me that refusing to forgive myself only keeps me from experiencing that newness. Assure me of the truth that by casting “my sins into the depth of the sea”, you have freed me to discard them myself and live the next moment as if it were my first, for indeed it is. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
