Sunday Message: How Would You Feel If. . .

by Jack Lee

Karen Drucker writes, “Wouldn’t the world be a different place if we understood how important the other is in our lives? How would you feel if you suddenly realized that you needed that particular child crying in Haiti because it contracted cholera because the government did not clean the rivers?

How would you feel if you needed the very Chinese general who ousted the Dalai Lama from his homeland in Tibet? How would you feel if you needed the criminal sitting in jail who did the most horrible things to his or her fellow human being, but you needed them? How would you feel if you needed the one person you despise the most in the world? How would your feelings change if you knew that your very life depended on that person who is making your life the most miserable right now? How would you feel?”

I don’t know how others would feel my dear Karen, but here’s my take. I would of course feel bad for an innocent child, but if the parents of that adult caused it because of their own raw sewage entering a river that wasn’t the fault of government. This is a failure of personal responsibility and sadly Haiti is full of those types. They foolishly sit around waiting for someone else to do it all the work for them. They demand that others build houses, clean rivers, remove trash, provide medical, etc. Then they take out their frustrations by stoning doctors and relief workers because they are not working fast enough to help them, Bad things happen when people refuse to help themselves. Blaming others won’t get the job done either. Thats when the Darwin effect kicks and solves the problem.

Next. Karen, I will not ever find myself relying on creeps such as your communist general or a vicious criminal for my needs, I would rather rely on myself. Not sure where you are coming from, but you must realize that people reach an age of accountability and then what they do is on them.

This is how the real world works my dear airhead.

    Jack this woman is in search mode and good for her but, based on what you have written here, the path she is on is leading to nowhere. This sentence alone…:

    “How would you feel if you suddenly realized that you needed that particular child crying in Haiti because it contracted cholera because the government did not clean the rivers?”

    …indicates she is wondering; lost in the deep woods of inner self!

    Needed? For what? She doesn’t say. But why does she focus on HER NEED rather than the need of the child? And waht makes her need this child BECAUSE it contracted cholera? Does disease add something magical to the plight of poor children living in miserable conditions with respect to her need? Where is her humanity and compassion that she should wonder about her needs anyway while at the same time blaming some other distant “other” for the plight of this child? Why doesn’t she also need THAT “other”, the government of Haiti, with the same sorrowful longing and angst? Does her need require a villian as well as a victim?

    Whew! It’s enough to wear out even the stongest of souls!

    This is what happens when we put ourselves at the center of the universe (and above God). The lack of strong values and a sense of right and wrong results in the inability to address problems with anything more than slogans, symbols, weepy songs, and finger pointing. (While seeming to be a really enlightened and caring person which is the point of the entire exercise)

    Bless her heart. The most that can be said is that she thinks she means well. I do hope she ventures out from this path of lovely, pretty thoughts and self-interest to discover a path that will lead to true enlightenment…and maturity. Lord knows we need more strongly grounded people about now.

  2. well I don’t know who the other Karen Drucker is that wrote this piece, but it was not me.
    Not sure where you read this or who this person is but want to make it clear that I did not write this piece.

    Thanks for dropping by Post Scripts to make your voice heard, Karen. Jack posted this piece so I’ll let him identify, for certain, the Karen Drucker he was quoting.

    I assumed (I know, bad practice) it was the New Age singer and poet:

    Hope this helps to make it clear for anyone who may have thought it was you.

    Hi Karen, thanks for dropping by, but not sure your declaration clears up anything. Since there are many Karen Druckers in this world, simply telling us you are not THAT Karen Drucker doesn’t help. Maybe you should have added you’re the Karen Drucker from Palermo, New York, Lower Coonsfork, wherever, and you did not write that? Just a thought. (Jack, from Chico, the guy that wrote the article, not to be confused with the Jack that did not write the article.)
