Help and Love Those Near You

Ok, I am not a conservative. Never will be. There is just so much about this world to love.

Conservatives believe that this world is imperfect. Conservatives believe that human nature is imperfect. We need to always be on guard so as not to fall to temptations, not to give into impulses, not to live as sinners. The whole world is one big temptation, and we need to be constantly vigilant because you never know where the next danger lies. We are just one split second away from falling.

Wow. How can you live like that? I would much rather believe that, though we are not perfect, we are within ourselves the Divine. Why would the Supreme Being create us in her image and not lend us divinity? Only if you recognize your own divinity, we empower ourselves. We can in our own way affect. That is what I would like to believe. Together we can march toward perfection. We may never get there, but it sure is a powerful incentive.
