Paddling Ducks or Dogs Swimming

Looking at the Trump administration, one thinks, is it scary that they seem to have so many public fumbles and they seem to be constantly trying to fix their mistakes? Or, having said that, is it more reassuring. Reassuring that they are working through things and even though it is very public, at least you can see they are trying.

 

Often in the world of politics and governments, people have cited that they believe that their government should be more open and more honest. However, ignorance has often be thought a bliss.

So with that said, would you rather know what is going wrong and its being fixed as we speak, or be ignorant of the truth. Comparing to the last administration, who were very  smooth, the Trump administration seems messy. The last administration was: smooth in lies, smooth in action, and smooth like a duck, but paddling like hell underneath.

The last administration had problems and so does the new. The last one left ISIS, debt, and the other problems we haven’t faced yet, so while we may not have seen all this, we just weren’t aware.

If you have someone who makes mistakes, and someone who never makes mistakes, or covers them up. Who is really better? I suppose it depends on the situation. If we are talking about people, I would prefer the person who makes mistakes but always tries to do better. Compared to the person who never makes mistakes or if they do they cover them up and never address the issue.

However, on a national level you think, this is a different ball game. It’s not just what you think, but the whole country.

Nevertheless, someone who makes mistakes and changes mean they can change. Someone who never changes is a dangerous person, because they are only willing to change others and not themselves. For they see others as the problem and never themselves. Meaning they have a very real danger of stagnating, which as we all know means death.

To sum it up, is it better to have a government that you know have their problems and you can see them, or a government that hides it.  Ignorance is only bliss for a fleeting moment. If you are falling down without a parachute, knowing or not knowing, will most likely yield the same issue: Going splat. However, with knowing at least you can do something, even if it be limited. So is it better knowing or not knowing?
