We Are On Autopilot

So many people in today’s society are on autopilot. We don’t care what goes on around us, we don’t care that the guy beside us is stealing, cheating on his family, or hurting our neighbor… just as long as we are “comfortable” we don’t care! Well let me tell you something about being comfortable, and being on autopilot…

Someone I know is NOT on autopilot. They are not just comfortable with the way things are. They see someone doing “no good” and they are on it! I just can’t muster the respect for someone who can watch something terrible happen. And I’ll give you a good example– the Penn State ordeal. Why didn’t he lay that guy out in the floor and protect the kid?? Aren’t the moral boundaries this country was founded on, those of our Father and Creator, more important than the job he so shortly held as coach of a sports team? Apparently NOT!

And what about the teacher, the preacher, the coach, the cop, the one who deals with people in less desirable situations who tries to do the right thing. There are so few of them, and only a percentage of those people listed care enough to do something when they are off-duty! This is mind boggling to me except that I can understand the complacency.

I can understand being comfortable where you are and feeling like there’s nothing better. We often forget things are going to hell in a handbasket around us when things for us are just fine. I applaud and appreciate those willing to do the research, serve the service, stick their necks out on the line, and give something of themselves for the rest of us who can’t seem to appreciate what it is that makes this country great…

What is that?

It’s the willingness of us, as citizens and normal everyday people, to choose an occupation or service — whether police officer, fireman, teacher, etc — that puts us in the middle of people who need the real help. And without offering a handout, help them to actually become better people! This is so rare, since, most people are fine with a handout (it doesn’t require any work!) and don’t care about the people who surround us as our neighbors.

Let’s get to the bottom of this. People around you right now are hurting. Look at the guy/gal to the left, and the right, and in front/back of you… they have some sort of conflict in their life that you can help resolve. The difference is… what are you going to do about it!?

For most people, myself included for a long time until I took this realization… NOTHING! We just want to cruise on autopilot and be left alone. We don’t want to have to help our neighbor. We don’t want to watch someone suffer. But even if we do, we don’t want to have to help. If someone forces us to we will. That’s what’s wrong with us!

Help your neighbor. Reach out to them, and see what you can do to help. God shows us a better life in the Bible where we share the love He shared with us by helping others in their time of most desperate need. Instead of just watching the calamity, we need to put our hands out in an overwhelming love of mercy…. no matter what the other person has done! We seem to only want to thing of what’s going on in our lives as how it benefits us. Let me tell you, if you only see that side then you are a sad person indeed! Because God has given us so much to appreciate! There is so much to enjoy until our time in heaven when we will have full understanding. Until then, we must project the love God has for us onto other people.

If you don’t know about this love, please contact an outreach minister near you. I would love to help in any way I can, but I am only a student. Jesus really showed us a way to live a peaceful life; and if the world were to adhere to the practices of Jesus, conflict would not be an issue.

Do you have conflict in your life?
Do you have sorrow?
Have you watched others suffer?

“Love God with all your heart, all your mind, and all your soul”
And
“Love your neighbor as yourself”

Are these not axioms we can all live by?

Peace, prosperity,
William Bryant

Will The Fed Survive Ron Paul?

Ron Paul recently gave an interview to a reporter from Fortune magazine. The headline of the story reads, “Will the Fed be able to survive Ron Paul?”

Ron Paul used to be considered an extremist whose views were so far out on the fringe that nobody took him seriously.

There is a little bit of that view represented in the story when Nin-Hai Tseng, the interviewer, asks the question, “But some would consider ending the Fed is a bit extreme, don’t you think?”

Before I share with you Ron Paul’s response to that question, allow me to provide a quick bit of history.

Our forefathers were completely against the idea of a central bank. It wasn’t until 1913 that Congress passed the law that created the Fed. Even that process was done on a Christmas Eve under very devious circumstances.

President Woodrow Wilson signed into law the Federal Reserve Act. He later regretted doing so, saying, “I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men.”

His point of view is that just allowing the Fed to exist is extreme. The very President who signed the law creating the Fed later confessed that he ruined the country by doing so.

More and more people are realizing that just allowing the Fed to exist, unaccountable to anyone, is extreme. It’s not just the lunatic fringe who think that anymore.

Ron Raul’s response to Nin-Hai Tseng’s question was spot on. He replied, “No, I think printing money is extreme and crazy. I think the obscenity is allowing the Federal Reserve to print $3.3 trillion and we don’t even know where it went. That to me is what’s so extreme. And that’s what the American people are waking up to.”

For a long time the Fed has been of the opinion that anyone who questioned them and what they do were part of the lunatic fringe.

No more. As Ron Paul said, American people are waking up to how obscene the Fed’s actions are, and how those actions benefit a very, very select few while harming the masses.

When Ron Paul was asked if he wanted to end the Fed, he replied, “Well, I don’t expect to. The Fed’s going to end itself when they destroy the system. So yes I would end the Fed but I would do it gradually and have a transition.”

A gradual transition would be preferable, but with the disastrous actions the Fed is persuing, I think Dr. Paul was correct when he said that the “Fed’s going to end itself when they destroy the system.”

That won’t be pleasant or orderly. It will happen as a result of just creating too much money through various programs, including QE2.

It’s coming, and there is nothing you or I can do to prevent the destruction of our financial system.

The only thing we can do is to get prepared and alert those around us who are willing to listen.

We certainly live in interesting times, and in the coming year, they look to get a whole lot more interesting.

Ron Paul isn’t going to end the Fed anytime soon. Bernanke has already stated that QE2 will continue, so look for more of the same: money flowing from the Fed into Wall Street’s hands.

It is not until money flows into Main Street that we will get a sound, lasting recovery.

Until then, expect more of the same.
