The Weakest Among Us
According to this measure, we are failing.
Social media is often just an endless list of angry political complaints and disbelief these days, at least in my feeds.
Every day, I hear about a new policy, or action taken by the administration, that seems like it should be impossible. It makes me angry, but the root of that anger is sadness. I'm sad that we have fallen so far away from the values of our country used to hold dear. Not just for our citizens, but for the world.
The late President Jimmy Carter said it best...
"The measure of a society is found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens."
Given where we are at today, how would The United States measure up to this evaluation? I think that we all know the answer. For the next four years, hundreds of thousands of people will suffer.
One day I hope we attempt to turn it around, though by then the damage will be done, and it may very well be too late.
