I’ve spent the last few hours reading up on the war in Iraq and various other things that are going on in the world. First let me say, I know i’m not perfect. I have many many flaws. BUT! I do TRY to live my life by a strong sense of right and wrong. We keep claiming to be so intelligent, how we’ve come so far as a people yet it seems we are just finding easier ways to hurt each other. I’m tired of seeing death. It makes my soul cry for my children to see the world isn’t getting better. I just can’t wrap my head around people that want to harm others. I try my best to treat people with respect. I’m 32 and I still do the yes ma’am/no sir/thank you that i learned as a child. I’m seeing that in fewer and fewer kids these days. Kids have to learn respect they just don’t acquire it. Teach them. I don’t know what the reason for it is. Whether it’s taking religion out of school, taking respect for your country out of school, single parenthood, or whatever the other countless reasons people come up with. All I know is I think all those things made ME a better person. I stood up every morning and said the pledge of allegiance to the United States of America. I prayed with my class each day before lunch. I was taught by my parents and grandparents what right and wrong was. What it meant to respect your elders. How to treat others as you would like to be treated and treat them kindly even if they do not return it. Where has that gone. Has that been replaced with the lax moral judgment of today’s peers. I guess there isn’t a lot of gray in my life. Things are pretty much black and white with me. It’s either right or wrong. There is no in between. Yet the in between is enough to keep a world full of lawyers driving nice foreign cars and women that can’t tell the difference between love and money. What do we do to change it? Where do we start. The only place we can. Our children. The governments of the world are so full of themselves they are beyond repair. The do-gooders are over powered by the do-whatwesayers. Anyways I’ll end this little semi-rant now. Check out the current mood music below.
