I keep looking around me (#487)

What I see is is encouraging and disheartening. Encouraging that there are people who want to have better lives and are doing something about it. Disheartening because there are few opportunities for them to choose from. The daily struggle to survive and make something positive of our lives is getting harder with each passing day. However, there is still a steely-willed determination to push forward toward a better day. We need our society to provide incentive to make society work. Work is good in that it gives us a common purpose and a sense of security. What it does not give us is opportunities to make our lives better with any consistency at all. The archaic system that would put our lives in jeopardy for the sake of remaining static is unacceptable. We must continue to mature as a society and show the maturity in how we make opportunities happen for all of us. The genesis of existence is our individual life. We are born today into an intelligence gathered and matured by those who preceded us. They pushed along a system for living in the only way they were able, by just maintaining what structure they had. We are blessed with greater possibilities and pushing what we have been given is not enough. We must grow what we have been given into something greater and closer to appreciating the sanctity of every life. Life is more than enjoyment, it is also about being responsible to each other in the present but to also build a better life in the future for our offspring.
