Why Do You Put Limits On Others?
After my meditation this morning I wrote the following.
Why do you proclaim this the way things are meant to be?
Why do you put limits on others?
When you put limits on others you put limits on yourself.
What you do to others you do to yourself.
Why do you put limits on yourself?
Then I engaged the world by scanning the headlines.
Today was the day the U.S. Supreme Court decided to overturn abortion rights. Even though a woman’s right to legal abortion has been under threat for 50 years it was terrible to see it finally come to pass. Their ruling is not going to stop abortion, just make it more difficult and dangerous for American women to access. This Supreme Court decided for the first time in its history to take away, not expand, the rights of U.S. citizens. This didn’t just limit the rights of women, the lives of men and women are intertwined. Many men are about to discover their freedom is tied to the right women have to control their own bodies.
There has been an anger quietly building in many Americans, sIlently growing as a minority imposes their ideology on the majority. Has the Supreme Court unleashed the rage of a majority to long ignored?
