The news as of late would lead one to believe that the Exodus is upon us. The housing market is falling. Empty homes that have been foreclosed on liter every street. Gas prices keep climbing. The war is dragging on. The economy is weak. It goes on and on. With all these dire situations that we face each day we still find it in ourselves to move ahead. We glance at the paper, sigh, and head off to work. We're resilient in our desire to better ourselves and we lumber on.
My point is that nothing is changing. People still drive SUV's and don't even bat an eye to fill the tank. The people who wanted to buy a house are now reaping the benefits of the 'flipping houses' times that we went through. The war is out of site and mind until another statistic of casualties is posted on the front page. We have become immune to those numbers as well.
I'm proposing change. This isn't a plug for a presidential candidate. My thoughts are pointed directly at each and everyone of us. We cannot remain sheep that are blindly lead through life only to realize what is happening when we have reached the end of our destination. We need to wake up. We are all sleeping. The change as to come from within us and ourselves. If your thinking right now what difference can one person make then you've already missed my point. Society at large must be held accountable for its own actions. If the CEO's of large corporations are stealing from their companies does that make it alright for everyone else? If your neighbor still commutes to work everyday with his gas guzzling vehicle so should you? We need to look inside ourselves and ask what is right. The answers will come quicker than you think.
