Sure, it would be great if there was no controversy over Boy Scouts and acceptance. It would be great if there was no controversy over anything. Like that is ever gonna happen. Go. Take a stand. Do your best. To do your duty. To God and your Country.

And learn how to make a fire to keep yourself alive, using only one match. There can be no mistakes. If the fire doesn’t start, you’ll never see daylight.

What happens when daylight does come, and the economy starts humming along again. It seems far too many of us aren’t spending our time now doing this?

one bad apple spoils the whole bunch, right? all Presidents are bad then, right?

If the actions of one taint the whole, then what happens to our standard?

The standard could go up and become more strict, say like guns laws, potentially. Or go down as we become more desensitized to inappropriate behavior…

It makes sense, right, relationships should be 50/50.

That’s the cliche.

And maybe that’s been our problem all along.

Hold on, hear this one out…

What if it was 100/0?

Isn’t that what love is about? Loving unconditionally – 100%.

Why has it taken so long for someone to brand this?
