Parties. Political parties. Right there, you have a huge problem. The biggest problem. A problem of division. There is a mystical effect to one of the most influential powers on planet earth and within the human condition. It's the way we express, reveal, and conduct ourselves through communication. That power is in the realm of words.
Words have meanings. Thus, they have power. And the power of those meanings will have an affect on a society whether those who use the words understand this or not. Let me explain.
The problem with 'parties' in governmental affairs is in the semantic power of the words. When the hidden wisdom imbedded within the meaning of words exerts itself, the sagacious foregos silence.
In the American States, there used to be unity, until they stated 'partying'. The Union began to break into parts and those parts started partying. (It's a common thing when certain types of people get power; they don't know how to act, properly.) Then the separation prompted the people to begin choosing which party to go to. Some could afford to go to the rich parties, some could only afford to go to the poor parties and the rest didn't like parties at all. Next thing you know, we have divisions.
So now we have these different groups of people who believe in different kinds of ideas and as a result have formed into different political parties that are at war with one another. Thus, we have the problem. People having different political philosophies who form a group is not a problem in itself. But groups are one thing; parties are another.
But how can a 'group' be 'a-part-y'? They are a-part. But Y? (Sorry....there's laughing in my head.)
In political 'parties', you have the illusion of a group when it involves government. Because a government is for the people, which is by definition, a unit of persons, a unity. And a government can't afford to be politically a part, not can it be run by any political party, nor can it afford to have political 'parties' because they are ridiculously expensive. But when a people are no longer united, they are no longer a unity. They are now a-part, and have become a party. And as we know, parties are expensive.
The American States can no longer be called United because it has two main controlling and warring Parties. And these Parties have run "U.S." into trillions of debt and is costing "U.S." trillions of dollars. And any President who stands before the American Congress and the American People and says that the "State of our Union is strong" is either lying, blind, grossly incompetent, or selling something.
So until Americans stop 'partying' with their political parties, thus causing "U.S." to be a part, and start uniting with a good government union (Ahem...Independents, hint hint), thus prompting "U.S." to be United again...we're going to remain separate, broken, and fallen. Making "U.S." a House forever divided against itself.
A Unity or a Party? A government, thus, a people, can't be both. So it's ultimately up to us to choose whom we will serve. Those who want to politically divide and break us apart into parties, or those who want to philosophically recombine and unite us into a State of Union?
One could say that it's the perfect choice of those who have the wisdom of an Independent opinion because in the end, no other opinion matters more than the individual who is the only one that can change it. They say, "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder". But so is one's perception of reality. So what is yours?
It's always wise to remember this: Political parties are ruled by rulers who are measured by their dictatorial tomfoolery. But governmental unions are led by leaders who are followed by their oratorical sagacity.
