Always on guard for those things that abhor modern sensibilities. It is a never ending dilemma that our civilization continues to thwart positive progress. We are a species of divided loyalty. At this present time, we seem unable to keep our twin goals of self and community in congruence. The difficulty lies with our determined approach to treat both interests separately when in fact they are both the same thing. A selfishness toward ourselves over the lives of all of us has infiltrated our psyches and has most of us out of balance in our living. What needs to be drawn on the chalkboards of our minds is that sacrifice by all brings in the best of who we are and how we live. We are not hoarders or psychopaths by nature, we are innocent in our beginnings and have lost the way. Surely the history and evolution of our species to where we are now has been less than proudly illustrative, yet we can change all of that by recognizing that we are as who we were first born. The children of hopes and dreams with the wide eyed expectations of all that is good. It is within all of our powers to be and to live in such an existence. We must demand it from ourselves and present it to others so that they can also demand it from themselves. That is why we cannot "retire" from life in some form of cocoon to whether the storms of the present and future. We must be constantly vigilant in our effort to help create an existence worthy of our first imaginings. All around us there is need for concern about the destitution and mayhem that has become acceptable to those who would think themselves honorable. Our impassioned principles must never subside when harm is prevalent and we have some considerations we can choose to demand.
