Hypocrisy: The TRUE Enemy


hypocrisy:the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.


If only those who fight so diligently for refugees would use those same energies and passions to fight for the homeless right here in their homeland. 

I wonder where is their courage when it comes to putting an end to the suffering of  those who reside in their own home state and city? Where is their  compassion when it comes to those who fought for the very freedoms we all enjoy?  I wonder...How can they can so easily turn a blind eye to the struggles and tragedies of those who live right there in their very own neighborhoods, cities and sates and see so clearly the hardships of others? 

Where is the sense of justice when it comes to the elderly here in the United States?  Where is the passion to fight for the rights of our elderly to live out their golden years without having to choose between much needed medicines and food or paying their utilities or rent?   

I wonder further how can anyone can just sit and pretend that it's perfectly okay to spend billions of dollars to bring in refugees and provide them with housing, medical care and food when millions of our own people are going without these very things?
  
hypocrisy: Turning a blind eye to those standing right in front of them who are in need, while having  great sight to see the needs of those faraway.

There is a saying...Charity begins at home.  This is a concept that many  obviously don't get.  So I'll break it down for everyone.  Whenever you fly on an airplane, one of the first thing you are told is...in case of emergency place the oxygen mask over your face FIRST before attempting to assist others.  There's a reason for this.  Think about it long and hard as to WHY you are instructed to do this.   While the safety of others is important--you can't help them if you pass out from lack of oxygen.  

Follow me so far?  Are you grasping the concept?


Again I must ask...where is the passion, the compassion, this sense of nobleness and justice when it comes to...

 The elderly, many of whom do without the basic necessities,  in your own city and state?

For the children, the men and women who go hungry and homeless in your own city and state?  

Our Veterans who fought for our freedoms?  So many are homeless; doing without medical care.


Where is that passionate fight for their rights for housing, food, medical care and such?

hypocrisy: A weapon that radicals from any and all religious/political standing will exploit and use to the fullest extent to gain power over those who don't have the willpower or the clarity to see how they're being used and manipulated.

Those who live as hypocrites don't see--can't see beyond their own lack of genuine goodness.   They just don't get it.   No, of course not.  And why would they?  They're too busy being self-righteous to even bother.  They're too pre-occupied with the name calling, too busy with the  shaming of those who believe in, and live by, that old adage Charity Begins At Home!  Too busy blindly following behind their hypocritical political and religious leaders,  too busy mimicking their example to care about or  to  see anything outside their own hypocrisy.  .

Pride and a false sense of  humanity doesn't allow them to see what's right in front of them.   No, it doesn't.


*~*~*~*~*

You see my friends, when you strengthen your own, provide for them FIRST you create unity.  In that unity you will have more willing souls joining your crusade to provide for others outside your neighborhoods, outside your cities and states.  When you take care of those right in front of you FIRST...You will see clearly how quickly charity grows and filters out. Taking care of those right in front of you FIRST creates a foundation so strong that it cannot and will not  falter. 

But you the prideful hypocrite cannot begin to even fathom that particular concept.   Now can you?
  
hypocrisy: The destroyer of unity and logic; the eviscerator of good sense

The bottom line ladies & gentlemen...
  
The true enemy of the world is Hypocrisy.  And THAT is what we're really at war with!

Blurb from Hailey's GoFundMe page:

Hailey started to help the homeless 4 years ago when she saw someone on the side of the street and asked her mother if there was anything she could do. They bought him lunch and from there Hailey has taken it upon herself to start a garden to donate vegetables and begin building mobile sleeping shelters for the homeless in Kitsap county.
