My view of a glass filled the 50% line is it is always half full rather than half empty. One never advances the effort to fill it by just standing aside looking at it and bemoan that nothing is happening. Because if nothing is added, it will evaporate into being totally empty save for the remnants of the suspended solids.
The inverse argument to be made is that yes, there are mostly followers but inspirational leaders is what God implores us all to strive for. If not for the whole world but maybe for just a very small piece of it for each of us. Just ask our founders, it worked very well for them and it is our duty to their sacrifices to strive to make it work for us.
I'm all in on the effort, not just materially (work, politics) but also spiritually. I reject the globalist agenda, and not passively either.
The reality at the polls is that 90% of the time, my vote is on the losing side. The reality of the direction of the planet is that "universal suffrage" is a good thing. It's not a good thing. It is a recipe for takeover.
Still, I completely agree with your post. Well said. Fight like hell. Life is temporary, and meant to be "lived right."
