It is what it is: December 3, 2025 – Commentary with Jen Brien

“We’re living in a time where people break over things that previous generations pushed through without a second thought. Discomfort is NOW trauma. Accountability is an attack and anyone who disagrees becomes the villain in someone’s story. Respect and discipline barely exist. Entitlement has become so normalized that basic emotional resilience is no longer common. This is why EVERYTHING triggers everybody. That’s why people send hateful messages over opinions, advice or truth that challenges them. We see it every day. The anger, the projection, the outrage. All it does is confirm how emotionally unprepared so many people are for the real world. This is not strength. It’s fragility. Stamina in life isn’t coddling. It’s uncomfortable… it’s confrontational. It requires honesty, grit and the willingness to look inward. Qualities that used to be the foundation of growing up and until that comes back, we will keep seeing adults crumble under a faux weight created in an emotionally unstable alternative universe”.

Have you ever heard the story about a man and the fence? In this story, the man had a dream one night and, in his dream, he was in an open grass field and this grass field was split by a fence. On one side of the fence stood SATAN. On the other side of the fence stood GOD.

Satan looks at the man and said, “which one do you want? do you want God or do you want me? If you come over here, I’ll give you all you want. I’ll give you everything you want, but if you go with God you don’t get everything I’m offering you”. So, the man begins to contemplate and says “oh man… Jesus, I see you and you’re there and you’re so good BUT… SATAN there’s some things that I really want… that I really enjoyed” and he continues to think. The man then begins to laugh at both of them and sits on the fence. He tells them “I don’t have to choose either of you. I can be on both sides of you at the same time”. The man continues to laugh and as he’s laughing and scoffing at SATAN and GOD everything suddenly goes black. Out of the darkness comes SATAN. The man sees him and says, “NO NO NO NO!!!!!  I didn’t CHOOSE YOU! I sat on the fence, so I got a little bit of Jesus, and I got a little bit of you”. SATAN grabs him by the arm, grips him really hard and then whispers this into his ear… “THE FENCE BELONGS TO ME”.

“You get what you tolerate. You get what you tolerate. In fact, I’ll say this… I’ll say this EVEN LOUDER. This could be the MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU HEAR. Nothing can change until the unspoken is said and the TRUTH is… here’s the TRUTH… the greatest failure for us as a people, political leadership and as individuals, is a lack of courage”.

“TOLERANCE is the virtue of the man without convictions”
