And so once again, we have heard about yet another politician that has, PLEASE excuse the expression, ‘been caught with his pants down’…As we all no doubt watched the story unfold of how initially he denied the photos being sent by Twitter, to then various phases of admitting to it, and then to discover there was more than one female who received said pictures?
Honestly, are there no moral standards anymore as to what conduct our elected officials should be held accountable to? This one refuses (so far) to resign, even amongst a public outcry that he should. Smugness, arrogance, indifference, and certainly, careless disregard for marital fidelity seems to be more and more the common ground for politicians, entertainment stars, sports ‘heroes’, and others in the proverbial spotlight.
Is this an epidemic? Is it something new? Well, no…History is rife with various leaders and other note-worthy individuals trying to get away with, (Yes, I will say it) sin…However their mindset started with a plan, idea, concept, to then end up as the subject of public ridicule and debate, the fact still remains, “Hey, you’re busted!”
Yes, even so-called religious leaders over the years have also fallen prey to temptations of one sort or another, and strayed, fallen and have been defeated.
Interestingly enough, most who daily live ‘that lifestyle’, have convinced themselves, they are ‘ok’, and not doing anything wrong; funny enough though, when someone famous, especially a religious leader gets caught in something wrong, they are usually the first ones to point the finger and go “Ah HA! See! THEY are sinning!”…almost as though, they are trying to justify their own wrong-doings in their lives?
I am not saying any one of us should be perfect, but, maybe just suggesting that, as we have too often seen, the more you try to hide something, the more likely it will be discovered?
Just…Thoughts…
