What Happens Now!

We need to speak out and not be afraid to honestly talk about the issues that will impact our well being now and in the future. Lately, I have been hearing a lot about the younger generation giving the impression that they can make decisions for us. Unfortunately, we cannot be cast aside and we do have wisdom, experience, and have made some serious crisis decisions. Granted we now have the voices of many more young voters and we applaud their decision to voice their needs and concerns.

This time marks a turn around. It pretends to be a force to be reckoned with and greatly influenced by those ideas from the real people who are talking out about their mixed bag of concerns. That is refreshing! That is real! But don't dismiss the millions of people who believe a strong woman can attempt to right the wrongs we are living with each day.

  Those who want to divorce themselves from reality need to gather their facts and honestly take into consideration their future. Arguments fall short of reasoning. Unify and join the many who truly believe we have the choice to bring about changes that can continue to help us walk the path to a better life in several ways. Ask yourself if the strength of the strongest bridge will keep us in balance.

Parents stop and let your children make up their own mind. This younger generation is quite independent albeit more bold that past generations, but isn't that teaching us that  our voices do matter. It also tells me that the younger generation is more of an influence than just someone blowing in the wind. If only we could lay down our arms and join the forces that eventually will continue to enforce the policies that will make us one united  group.

Those of you who are comfortable need to take in consideration who put you there. Those who are struggling need to continue to fight for their rights, both human and economic. Some pundits think they can carry the torch and envision what the future will bring. Since when are they the only kernel to consider? Since when are those few the dictators of the universe.

We can all have an opinion, but do we really listen to each other or are we so entrenched in our own views that we forget that others may have more in common with us. If we have never been in the shoes of others, can we honestly tell the Administration and others how to solve our problems?

So much is happening all over the world that anger and frustration are taking the place of good common sense and realistic decisions that benefit the majority. Why can't we come to a meeting of the minds and work on our common ground rather than rhetoric that is false and brings fear to the millions who need our support.

Read Sterner's book, "Practicing Mind" and you will soon begin to process not reach for the goal by putting the cart before the horse. Give yourself the opportunity to think through your decision and be certain that you have taken time to process.
