There is a panic here in most of the United States about gasoline, a Historic election just around the corner, millions of americans are losing their homes to foreclosures, and jobs are harder to get than ever in the last few decades. Many mothers, and fathers have children fighting over seas for peoples and their rights that we will never meet. They pray daily that they will come home to hug them with both arms, alive. Still, our media is stalking people that have fortune and fame just to see what designer bag they are carrying, or what their stylist has dressed them in for the VMA's.
People used to buy frivilous things to seek a moment of happiness, and would buy a new vehicle when the other new one just needed new tires. Violence, and theft, and senseless murder are closer to our homes and not just left in the big cities. It is harder to find a person that is in want of something, than to find a person who is in absolute need of something. When we pay our bills we are more concious about every penny we earn, or are not earning. We dont know if it will be the last month we have a good paycheck. Though America is in need of a resurection from this downward spiral, there are people among us that are preying on our most desperate of times and promising change. Why do we need a leader to make things better for us, when we all have the ability to start a good thing. If you care about someone, or know someone in need, start by making a change in their life--then inspire them to do the same for someone else in need. Although we live in a very materialistic society, we also live in a HUMANISTIC society. We are all humans experiencing this life together, no matter how long or short it may be. Do something for a stranger, hold a door open, be a listening ear to someone who needs to talk, tell a family member how much you appreciate them. Tell your children how great they are. Live in love...and good things will come your way. Peace.
