Still the same old problems. And no matter where you stand on the political spectrum, it's still the same old problems of perception and unattained perfection.

If I were to squeeze myself into a voter box for you to check, I doubt anyone would check it because I do not conform; therefore, I would be viewed as too—too soft, too weak, too broad-minded, too spiritual, too…

And if I had to listen to the same old squabbles, lies, slander, and character assassination, my eyes would roll even farther back in my head.

Yet listen, I must, because life's hardships are not the same for everyone, and problems, though similar, are nuanced and tailored to the times—to this time.

So, where are we?

We're on the same boat, sailing across the same seas, encountering the same rough problems, and none of us are handling them in any way united.

Some, instead of throwing problems overboard, seem to want to throw people overboard instead.

Some, instead of facing problems, seem to want to compound them with more problems.

Some, instead of operating based on intelligence, seem to want to operate based on lies and cover up those lies with more lies, never dealing with reality. How, then, when not in reality, could problems be solved?

In order for problems to be solved, shouldn't we first identify the problem, then find someone competent, with reading comprehension, capable of solving problems—not creating them or advancing greater problems?

But which is which? Who can see through the lies of politicians? What is the truth, and where is it?

I suppose it depends again on which tribe you belong to and your perception of perfection.

However, isn't there such a thing as insider knowledge, like insider trading? You know how and what certain leaders are doing—or not accomplishing? And you're able to read between the lines, beyond politics, like job performance? Are there no internal measurements?

Well, there are spiritual and divine measurements of character and deed—tests of character that must be passed to cut the mustard and satisfy the Lord and humanity in general.

Why would this be important? How do you solve any problem if you are the problem? Any decision made without care and character would be highly questionable and likely lacking in intelligence and wisdom.

Therefore, first pass your tests of character; then, if possible, with inside knowledge, choose leaders who can pass their tests of character, and choose wisely.

Note:  If you know of any wrongdoing and do nothing, you will share in the guilt (Romans 1:32, Leviticus 19:17) and the Lord will hold you responsible for those sins (Psalm 50:18, Proverbs 29:24).  And if those sins are heinous, you will be damned for them also.
