Black Lives Matter?
Blue Lives Matter?
White Lives Matter?
All Lives Matter?
Hmmm..... no, not really.
Here's the hard facts, truth and reality: NO!
When we break down basic human nature - all born with god-given human rights including a FREE-WILL, a brain and the power and ability to make our own decisions and life choices. That being said, does YOUR life matter?
My life matters. My wife's life matters to me. My children's lives matter - to me. My family, friends, and loved ones lives matter - TO ME. That's the basis of life. It's the basis of LIFE, LIBERTY and the PURSUIT of happiness (NO, you are not guaranteed happiness - but you are guaranteed the ability to PURSUE happiness).
Here's the harsh reality of everyone, everything, every day life, human nature, free-will, consciousness, sub-consciousness, racism, prejudices, love, hate, or whatever other "feeling" you may have in your little bubble: Chances are, your life DOESN'T MATTER to me. Let me explain:
If I don't know you, never met you, have no dealings with you whatsoever, chances are your life doesn't matter to me. Yes of course I would "feel" bad and have sympathy for you and your loved ones if something bad were to happen to you, but I can promise - I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep, an ounce of energy, or shed any tears. Why? Because I don't know you. It is absurd to think or feel any differently. We do things every day to make our lives easier and more tolerable. Those things include being respectful to others, obeying laws, being generally nice to people and work hard to have comfort. Here's where others have it wrong:
Black Lives Matter?
It depends. Do you break the law? Are you violent? Do you NOT contribute to society in a positive way? Do you make poor life choices? If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions - then NO! You're life doesn't matter - to me. If I'm being completely honest - unless you and your existence benefit my life in some positive way, your life doesn't matter - to me. Just as I'm sure my life doesn't matter to you if you've never met me, never had any relationship with me, never had an encounters with me and I have had ZERO impact on your life good or bad.
Blue Lives Matter?
It depends. Are you honest? Are you a decent, upstanding member of the police force? Do you follow the law? Do you promise to protect and serve all law-abiding citizens? Do you arrest criminals and do your best to make sure justice is served? Then YES, your life matters to me. I don't mind paying taxes to pay your salary because you provide a service for me, my family, my friends and my loved ones. That service is protection. I value your protection from others. I value your protection from people who feel that it's ok to break the law (regardless of skin color).
White Lives Matter?
Well.... I'm white. My family is white. Lot's of my friends are white. Many of my loved ones are white. So to me - their life matters. White people I've never met? Never seen? Never dealt with? No, their life really doesn't matter - to me. Again, unless you benefit me, ME or my loved ones, chances are your life doesn't matter to me. Like I said, if you died today, I not only likely wouldn't even hear about your death, but wouldn't care even if I did. If you're an upstanding member of society that contributes positively, then yes your life matters in the sense that we want to keep progressing forward. If you're a leach and suckle off the teat of society and do NOT contribute to a positive way of life, then NO - your life doesn't matter - to me; regardless of the color of your skin.
All Lives Matter?
No. Let me repeat that: NO! Let me spell it out for those with comprehension problems: "N" "O". NO all lives do NOT matter. That's just as dumb as "Black Lives Matter". It's a subjective statement, opinion and/or question. The answer to that is dependent on the individual - period. For example: Does someone in the depths of a remote Eskimo village in Antaoterctica who I've never met, will likely never meet, have zero dealings with whatsoever, matter to me? Seriously? NO! Would I have sympathy for his family? Sure. But did his life matter to me? Absolutely not. I'm no better or worse off with him alive or dead. My life has not changed at all - good or bad. Is that mean? Is it harsh? Is it rude? Maybe, but so what.... I'm fine with that. Am I racist against Eskimo's? Hate all Eskimo's??? Should people riot and protest and chant "Eskimo Lives Matter"? Of course not. Don't get me wrong - if that Eskimo decided to illegally enter the US, commit crimes, get a free education, free healthcare, free food, free money, have children that also receive a free education, free healthcare, free food, free money, free housing, free cell-phones and other benefits paid for by my hard-earned money?? HELL NO his life don't matter - to me. I view that as theft and/or stealing. Someone I've never met, never had any dealings with, never contributed to me, my family, my loved-ones or done anything to help our society - to then steal my money in order to live? No way! That persons life does NOT MATTER TO ME! I don't care where you came from or how hard your life was. You come legally and ready to contribute to our society, our way of life, speak our language and respect our laws. Otherwise you just expect everyone else to change to a way of life that you're supposedly "oppressed". Again - your life don't matter TO ME!
It's that simple. Black lives matter, blue lives matter, white lives matter, all lives matter, my life matters??????? It's all nonsense. No one cares. I know my life matters to me, my wife, my kids, my family, my friends, my loved ones, etc.... Just as their lives matter to me. Everyone else? I don't give two shits about.
I'm out!
