No - not Personal Computer and not
entirely Politically Correct. I am referring to the two words I most
often use to refer to Liberals and Progressives – Patronizing and
Condescending. And while I would still argue these words are very
descriptive of many on the left who arrogantly think their solutions
are not only the best, but also the only solutions to problems that
beset us all, I might suggest we are all guilty in some degree of
being Patronizing and/or Condescending.
We seem to categorize people as either
beneath us, our equals, or superior to us intellectually. We
sometimes are willing to accept, though we may not like those we
consider above us or look up to, using a P and/or C (Patronizing
and/or Condescending) tone. Those we consider our equals had better
not dare use a P and/or C tone in our presence. And yet we feel
justified using a P and/or C tone to those we have judged our
intellectually inferiors and figuratively look down upon.
An omniscient God certainly is
intellectually superior to each and all of us and figuratively looks
down upon us, and chooses not to be P and/or C, but loving towards
us. Might we copy this attitude, forgo our judgements, and treat
others with love?
