Blind Spots

You know, in the past year and few weeks respectively, I’ve gotten to know two organizations a little better. The US Government and the Mormon religion.

I’ve noticed two similarities: they both operate on very rigid rules and both talk about great things. The Government talks about this fantasy of actual work, instead it throws theory at you until your head rings and make doing anything productive that much more difficult.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or the Mormon Church, on the other hand focuses so much on the past and on the story of their church, they wouldn’t see Jesus if he happened to come back like all Christians think he will.

If the Peace Corps wants to be a progressive organization, or if the members of the Mormon Church want to see if Jesus actually ever does come back, both organizations need to be reasonable and see the whole picture.

Theory is for children.
