<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe 2020 Super Bowl produced its same level of predictable\ncontroversy. Someone is going to get upset at something and blow it way out of\nproportion. The exact same women that were grabbing napkins off of the snack\ntable to wipe their mouths at Adam Levine shirtless just one year before, were\nnow, all of the sudden, offended. They\u2019re looking at the world through a few\ntypes of lenses. The lens of jealousy may be one. They know they don\u2019t measure\nup so they attack. Another lens may be the good ole double standard. \u201cIt\u2019s ok\nfor me to drool over Adam Levine but my husband better not even glance at\nJ-Lo!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then there were the men that pretended to be offended by it\nso they didn\u2019t have to sleep on the couch that night. For those that say, \u201cit\nwas not a family friendly event\u201d, I can\u2019t disagree. But if that\u2019s going to be\nthe stance, then we need to redefine the dress code of every water park and\nevery concert. Because I\u2019ve seen more at those events than I did on the super\nbowl. I\u2019m not defending pole dancing. I\u2019m just saying that we are looking\nthrough clouded lenses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The State of The Union speech. Here we have the most\npowerful man in the world speaking on behalf of the most powerful country in\nthe world. This is one place we should be unified. But no. The minute it was\nover, the country suited up and took their sides, ready to battle for their\nteam. The first team struck\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat a classless witch Pelosi is for ripping the speech\nup!\u201d This team decided that for this one moment, Pelosi has to be civil. The\nrumor is that President Trump handed her a speech with the pages in the wrong\norder. I\u2019m not sure if that\u2019s true, but if it is\u2026 that\u2019s Hilarious! But the\nsame people that are tearing into Pelosi are the same people that were\ncompletely silent when Trump mocked a dead congressman, US Rep Dingell. The\nsame people that are silent when Trump tweets the dumbest things on earth. When\nhe brags senselessly and sounds like a ruthless, coarse, businessman\u2026 these\npeople are silent. But let\u2019s go crazy on some papers that get ripped. I\npersonally found it funny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another lens is \u201cNever Trump!\u201d If Trump announced he found\nthe cure to cancer, they\u2019d scream \u201cHow dare you take away the jobs of the Sarah\nCannon Cancer center!\u201d The man simply can do no right. These same people were\nsilent as Maxine Waters called for violence against Trump\u2019s cabinet members. Deafening\nsilent when the House clearly made sure there was no chance of a fair hearing. Created\nwalls to block the chance of hearing the whole truth, nothing but the truth, so\nhelp them God. Then they wondered why the other side didn\u2019t play fair in the Senate\ntrial. Where were the people that despised Trump for an alleged interference in\nUkraine\u2026 when all this unfairness was taking place? Looking through a lens that\nis fogged with blind allegiance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what I\u2019m getting to: If we can SOMEHOW get to a place\nwhere we are looking at life, the world, our country and our fellow Americans\nthrough an OBJECTIVE lens, we may just see that there is more to agree on than\nfight about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If we decide that mocking a dead congressman AND ripping a\nspeech up is classless, we may just get somewhere. If we decide that dancing in\nlittle clothing AND wearing bikinis to water parks are ok OR NEITHER is ok\u2026\nthen we get somewhere. I\u2019m not saying one is more right than the other. I\u2019m\nsaying decide what is right and wrong for you and stick with that, regardless\nof who does or says it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s when we keep seeing life through these clouded lenses\nthat we don\u2019t really see the world for what it is. We don\u2019t see that the person\nthat votes for the other team is actually a pretty good person. That the person\nthat loved the halftime show may have just loved the art. Personally, I didn\u2019t care for the halftime\nshow, but not because of what they were wearing. To me, it didn\u2019t matter what\nthey were wearing- it wasn\u2019t going to make that music sound any better. I just didn\u2019t\ncare for the music. But that\u2019s just my humble opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Objective lenses help focus light to produce a real image.\nThey don\u2019t block the image, they show what the REAL image is. So let\u2019s see if\nwe can take the glasses off that have foggy lenses and put some on that have\nclear, objective lenses that allow us to see the beauty in the world. Give it a\nshot\u2026 I dare you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stay Classy GP!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grainger<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What kind of lens are you looking at the world through? Chances are you\u2019re looking through the lens of your experience. Through the lens of your personal preferences. Maybe even through the lens someone told you to look through. But what if we looked through an objective lens\u2026 rather than a subjective lens\u2026 what would … <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/tidbitsofaudacity.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/pelosi-the-ripper.jpg\")
