ARE WE LOST IN THE WOODS, OR WHAT are we alone, or with folks like us
I’m not trying to write a preached, tutorial diatribe of philosophical hogwash. But, I have struggled and am now struggling to achieve a realistic perspective of our country going forward. So, peek at these following words if you can…and comment! Please Comment!
Every person has to exhibit social responsibility for a nation like America to work. Complacency has clearly siphoned off manufacturing and jobs. This social responsibility is the voice of the people who care enough to become involved. The current election cycle brings this to the forefront of our minds. My history teacher once told me that every great civilization…like the Greek and Roman empires, for example…fell because each had it’s peculiar set of barbarians hammering on it’s walls. The collective mindset of citizens was dumbed down with good living and a lack of ‘who me?’ responsibility beyond themselves..
I once took a child for a walk in a city and began to point out things with questions, like: where did these streets, and lights, and buildings come from? And, who takes care of these things? Are we responsible for maintaining our heritage and building it further for the next generation?
Looking forward, in years, we cannot help having a blended national and well as international society because we are pushing the limit of natural resources worldwide due to an ever-growing population. It will be important to preserve the traditions of the multi-cultural environment. In effect, we must achieve concensus without compromise, without watering down the individual cultures involved.
Our representatives in congress will do no better than the degree to which we hold them accountable, day by day. Think about these things!
