What's with that?
So, watching tv, see this series, educational, historical(?) called The Eighties.
Relating the events , happenings during that time period. It seems a lot of stuff did.
Now I had a baby in 1981' had a three year old, so a lot of that time period is a blur.
But it seems to me as I look back, things were happening. People began, once again to be at odds
with groups of people having very different philosophies trying to advance their beliefs over
others of different view points.
Not that this was new, the human story seems to be full of this. Our own country just the last
five decades, before that the two world wars, the civil war the previous century, small wars sand-
wiched in between, overseas.
Reflecting on all of this, I cannot remember a very long period since I was a child when the
United States was not at some sort of war or conflict. Both my parents were in the military when
They met, my son in law is a veteran, still in the military. I grew up a military brat, moving
around the country a lot.
But essentially, I was a child of the 60's&70's. With the philosophy that there has to to be a better
way, to live on this planet. On all fronts, or we are not going to like how things will turn out.
I have grandchildren, what kind of a mess are we all leaving our heirs?
We make progress, here , there, but then we have stuff start up. Conflicts in other parts of the
world, events in our country to make us all fearful. Fear, all of it creates fear, worry, stress, hate.
Hatred towards other groups of humans, the opposite sex, people who are not fitting into our
perceived definitions of assigned sex definitions. Immigrants, hell, our ancestors were all
Immigrants at some point.
Seems to me, it is being distilled into our presidential elections the last few times too.
Divisive, hateful, even hugely confusing for most people, and little progress being made
towards addressing the huge problems facing all of us, world wide.
We are stuck in the mud. And it is done on purpose to all of us on this planet. Think on it. Hard,
Very hard as to why.
I will address this in my next article.
