Words are not enough (#917)

My emotion through passion is being stirred like never before about our society. Long held beliefs are being questioned as they most certainly should be. We have serious problems in our current form of government and economy. A change is needed in how we see our future. The status quo or the idea of longing for the good old days mentality must stop! There were no real good old days. What we had when we were sheltered from reality is an illusion. The idea that our present today is moving forward with logic and enlightenment is mostly false. There are too many in power within our country who think that a path to the past is the optimal paradigm for our future. A life based upon strict adherence to a narrow view of mortality and a survival of the fittest mentality. What I find irrational is that those two dynamics of action and behavior are in contradiction with each other. Both of these viewpoints as a goal for society breed a contempt and rebellious nature that would have no place in that worldview. Our only true way forward is a modern progression filled with education and opportunity to test the boundaries of who we are and the world with which we live in. Our planet, the Universe are all at our beck and call for examining and exploring. It is our nature to be curious, anything or anyone who would deny this is false. We get to decide what positive advantages of our natures we get to promote. Our destiny lies ahead of us and the trail we blaze to get there is ours to progress. We leave for our children more than who we were, we leave them also who they can become, through our examples. Actions my friends will bring our hopes and dreams closer to being a reality, hopefully it won't be by going backwards.
