Why is it that anything that benefits others directly and only benefits other secondarily is looked on negatively. Well let me rephrase that, why is it anything that benefits those in the lowest social segments of society directly and everyone else secondarily is looked at as a burden. Investing in real education of all people benefits everyone indirectly by having an entire society that is able to understand many things and if need be perform many tasks and not just a single one thing . Advancing the health care of all makes for a society which is more productive and a health care system which is not overburdened by providing services for people whose illnesses were preventable with basic care if it were available.

However, everyone says an economic policy like trickle down economics is wonderful. It is the same thing in concept, except that a very small group receives the direct benefit and that group is supposed to help others. The problem is that this idea didn’t work because those who got the direct benefit only helped themselves and walked away from the others.

The concept that political people seem to miss completely is that all governments and systems are not merely ideologies or written laws on paper, they are living things with living people and react positively or negatively depending on the changes to how those ideas and laws are applied. Every system of government is a collective and depends on the success of citizens and that all the citizens help one another achieve success.

Having a good idea and not having any idea on how to make it happen isn’t any less of a good idea but it remains an idea. Many great ideas need the help of everyone to succeed. It does not diminish the quality of the idea or result. Peace is an idea which requires everyone’s full effort to not only not harm others themselves but to stand up against any harm to any person. Solon stated the perfect society is one where every person in the society sees any wrong doing in the society no matter the victim as being against themselves. Every person takes equal offense to a failure and every person takes an equal part in correcting the problem.

If one person can not read, we all suffer for it, If one person dies of a preventable disease we all suffer for it
If one person isn’t working we all bare the burden. And we all gain from the successes of anyone


Have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.
