Moral Compass

 I have been watching a lot of old tv shows lately. I mean really old, 70s and 80s. It seems that the problems we are having now, rising prices, violence, racism, were going on then. 

Today I watched an episode of Murder She Wrote. Jessica was asked how she could turn in her friend for murder and she said, paraphrasing, 'even at this time there is still right and wrong. ' In this time there is more wrong than right. The character went on to say how she believed there was more right than wrong and good people make mistakes but if you have your moral compass set to North you would be ok.

Jessica would have to put on some big rose colored glasses if she was talking about this time. While most people do the right thing it seems that they are getting pushed aside and told to shut up by the people doing wrong. And it is so easy for good people to just fall into the trap of if everyone else is doing it.

Set your moral compass to North people, it's all we got.

On Sunday the priest said Lent is not about giving up something but about getting back on track and getting to where you want to go. And so, this is the perfect challenge for me. FYI, I have failed multiple times already. 40 days is just way to long to be good.

In the news

 I heard a news story about a school that was not allowing students to participate in year end activities if all their fees had not been paid. This is not an unusual stance, I've heard it before. It is not right that the children are punished for something they have no control over and the fees still won't be paid/ But, what struck me the most is a parent who said 'this is just showing them that if they don't have money they don't get things'. Um duh. If you don't work and earn money and save for things you want you don't get them. And you shouldn't. What happened to the Americans who worked and expected nothing from anyone. Where did all those people go?
