WARNING: My glass is half empty.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall:
If I listed all the organizations that are in the business of helping those in need, this would become a long, boring blog. So many of us are actively involved in trying to upgrade the human condition that one would think the fog would have lifted by now. Kudos and a big HUZZAH for all those good people whose awareness reaches beyond their tiny personal world.
1. But every family I know is suffering as much as they ever have.
2. And minorities are as marginalized as they've ever been.
3. And the ignorant masses hate as much as they ever have and always will.
4. And the war machine marches on.
5. And the faithful are still blind.
6. And too many children are still dying of hunger and treatable diseases while other decadent folks sip their fine wine and admire their Picasso on the wall.
Corruption City is still international and overpopulated. Too many humans suffer from a permanent virus that is deeply entrenched in their hard drive. The symptoms are hate, greed, selfishness, violence, apathy, ignorance, and a detachment from reality.
There are more people walking the streets with severe character disorders than there are people who have reasonable personal and global goals. There are more people to fear than to love (and I'm not only talking about all the idiotic extremists).
America is either directly involved or implicit in all the ills of the human condition. As much as most of you would like to lay the blame elsewhere, I won't allow it in my class! And what makes it more insidious, is that we, and only we, actually have the power to bring about significant change, to lead by example.
Happy New Year!
