(#5997) Every answer to a problem requires some kind of sacrifice

      For those of us who are floundering around wondering how we get out of this mess there is a solution that requires sacrifice. We just have to be honest with ourselves and remain logical. Logic is where the answer is no matter the strategy. It may be a good strategy where the minimalist of sacrifices is endured or it is a strategy where great sacrifice is inevitable. Either way the floundering about must end. Every one of us has to think outside the box and outside our daily routines in order to imagine a solution that is real and lasting. We can only do what we can do but that do must have an end game. It cannot be a fancy with no steps involved. It has to be a firm commitment to a strategy that leads to reversing the current unsettling.
     The many of us have sat back and used our great traditions to protect us from having to make or state an opinion. Well that has not worked as planned. Instead our silence and deferred thinking has allowed for a difficulty to pressure us into ways of living that are not aligned with pursuits of happiness. Quick note here, pursuit of happiness is mostly about love but not always. We see now how our society is being shaped to imagine a world view that is less about liberty, freedom, and justice at the cost of enlightenment and the evolution of innovation. Much more is the identity of our species being reigned in from unlimited to fettered and blinded.
     If we think that we are not going to have to participate in our own saving then we are being foolish. There is no knight in shining armor nor justice league that is itching to save us from our own stupidity. There is only us and now that we are all coming to the same conclusion that a change of reality is absolutely necessary we  each need to consider our response. As the time keeps ticking away on our sensibilities we have not the luxury of procrastination. We need to get our purpose figured out as to our part in the creating a new paradigm where we the people are the subject of considerations not the fodder.
