Whatever your beliefs, it should horrify you that a guy who gets paid $11,000,000 per year can’t be bothered to wear his employer-assigned uniform for the 5 minutes he spends in the ballgame.
Blake Treinen is not a team player.
I’m not the first to notice, but now I can’t un-notice it.
We have many heroes from the generation or two before us. There are more than two ways to respond to our heroes, but the main two I see are:
1) Honor them and be grateful that they helped make changes to the injustices that they faced. Their courage, in the face of real injustice, should be honored and the changes that followed should lead us to gratitude.
2) Try to become them by becoming a victim of the same injustice that they faced. The problem with this one is that our circumstances don’t match theirs. They already helped make the change that was necessary. They fought the injustice and won. The only way to become your hero is to first try to recreate the system that they already defeated. You end up resembling the people your hero defeated rather than your hero.
I want to teach my kids to honor those that had courage in the face of injustice and not to try to become victims of injustices that don’t exist.
We will all face injustice. Let’s have courage to face it. Let’s not try to create it.
You are not the victim here. You used your baby for content and profit until you realized he wouldn’t be your preferred “outcome.” You exploited him, then you had him killed, then you used his murder to make more content. It’s grotesque and quite heartbreaking.
You cannot claim that you’re aborting your Down syndrome child because you don’t want him to “suffer.” First of all, killing a child so they don’t suffer is psychopath serial killer logic. You’re on the same moral plane as Andrea Yates. Second, children with Down syndrome are famously some of the happiest people you’ll ever meet in your life. They are not in fact living in a state of perpetual torment. So what’s really happening is that you’re killing your child so that YOU won’t suffer the inconvenience of caring for him. This is about freeing yourself of your own perceived suffering. If you’re going to be a child killing sociopath, at least be honest about it.
@BillboardChris Yes, stop forcing people to walk up to you for a civil conversation. That is awful behavior.
Maybe if you screamed at them from a distance, that would reduce your chances of getting into their spitting range.
2020 was the year I learned I could not blindly trust my church, our schools, the CDC, and other government healthcare “experts.” For different reasons.
Self preservation and attempting to remain “liked” caused many of these institutions to abandon basic truths. It isn’t worth it people. Say what is true in kindness. Always.
