Trust fades away

They are not. The political establishment has never been held in lower regard in my lifetime. Voters look at them in disgust, but the pollies are utterly unaware of it. They are in fairy land.

Any young Aussie watching Question Time at Parliament could not be blamed for thinking that he or she is expected and entitled to speak to others in general conversation with the same insulting venom of irresponsible character assassination.

I need say no more. The disgust that we all feel is total.

So, who can we trust?

We used to be able to look to churches, but their status is only marginally above Parliament, especially after the Child Abuse Royal Commission and the court appearances of a Cardinal, an Archbishop and many priests.

Well, our only option is ourselves.

Are we personally trustworthy?

Has any of the above rubbed off on us to the extent that we unconsciously betray TRUST because we have accepted the practice of lying and deceit as being normal human behaviour in modern times.

As someone once said "To thine own self be true".

Then, once we are true to ourselves, may we work together for THE COMMON GOOD of all humanity.

It is a goal worth chasing as it will rid us of the childishly ancient ideologies and bigotries that foster self interest and remove dignity, decency and integrity from society.
