The Sun Rises Everywhere

A few random, loosely related thoughts for a rainy Sunday:

How did this happen? By banishing morals and ethics from our institutions in the name of “fairness” and “equity” and replacing them with relativism and subjectivism which are the playgrounds of scoundrels. It happened when we allowed moral evaluation to be displaced by perception, received wisdom, and “consensus” defined as majority opinion; by allowing truth to be replaced by relativism and subjectivism, both of which spring from the domain of feelings.

This means something very different to liberals than it does to conservatives and libertarians: please discuss amongst yourselves.

Hint: Some believe that feelings need to be guided by rational arguments while some believe it’s the other way around.

But don’t let me and my musings disturb your second Sunday in October – there are only 3 more this year to enjoy. My advice:

Because:

And remember:

The sun rises everywhere, even through the ruins.

I know that many people take exception to Joyce Meyer, but I was listening to her one day just to hear what she had to say. The bite I came across was talking about running your life on emotions/feelings.

She said in effect, *People cry, I feel, I feel, I feel! Well if you’re going to run your life by your feelings, you might as well stamp “DESTROYED!” on it right now and get it over with!*

She went on to talk about how you have to base your life on the word of God through faith in Him and not your emotions.

And here we have a the problem of a whole society that has been raised being taught that if it feels good, do it, and what you feel is the most important thing in your life and the final reality.

Emotions need to be balanced with critical thinking.

Indeed, but tell that to a person driven by or controlled by emotions.

I’ts like trying to reason with a liberal.

Wait.... it IS trying to reason with a liberal.
