I put up a blog a day or so ago and I made the mistake many of us make. I Β ASSUMED
Something that I took for being good and wholesome without full knowledge of itβs value. I watched the Super Bowl and was proud of half time because it brought together several nationalities and different cultures with many flags together. That is only good if it does it in good tastes. I said the President of the United States was wrong not knowing the full story. The very word in English has a meaning and it is explained to us as thinking we take for truth what is expected.
Several things wrong with what said. First the word expected is a mistake when one expects something we have a picture of what we want and not what it actually is. If I have a picture of something in my mind and you do not do or say that which I have in mind I decided ahead of time what you should say or do. I then can be disappointed if you do as you would and I have already pictured what I want. Next problem with that is assume which is explained as the word assumed. I made an ass of you and me. Yes, look at the spelling.
I assumed the singing I watched was fit for family values. Not knowing the Spanish language, I took it to have a been good for children and families. It turned out that the words they sang were not of a value of that which should be sent throughout the world.
The President of the United States said it was bad taste and he knew what was said and he disagreed with the NFL for allowing this to be forced upon the people. His statement was accurate in that it was not what a superpower for the world should be advertising.
I have one voice and I feel that voice should be truth and it should have a value I can be proud of. Uniting people is good if it offers wisdom and inspiration toward a Godly world. What was sung and put out to over a hundred million peopleΒ should not be filth and ungodly. It matters not which language is spoken it matters what is said and sang.
I would pray that a superpower should stand for a superpower and that it should remember where it got that superpower. Words have an effect and they are important to those who are united with the word. The world started with a word and that word should not have less value with time or by man.
