I'm upset, distressed, frustrated and downright disheartened with the state of our nation these days. What used to be the right to pursuit happiness has become the right for a free handout. It’s snowballing and I don’t see any end in the near future. Why should you work when your neighbor gets welfare, food stamps and free health insurance? Why should you work for money when you could sue someone for selling you an undercooked hamburger? Why should anyone care anymore? I’m not saying that there aren’t decent, hardworking, ethical people out there, they are still the majority, but that minority is growing and growing.
Kids are growing up not knowing the value of a dollar, or of hard work, why work for what you want when you can beg, borrow, steal or hell, just put it on a credit card. Bankruptcy used to be taboo, these days, bah, who hasn’t had a bankruptcy. Has our society become so materialistic that we put belongings before people? Status symbols before pride in accomplishments? Hell, look at who our role models and idols are: actors, musicians, sports stars and people that are merely famous for being famous.
Of course we have no one to blame for all of this but ourselves, we decide what is important to us, we decide whether we want to value people for who they are or what they own, we decide if we want to work for what we have or try to get by doing as little as possible… I for one know what I want – do you?
