The difficulty lies in not what we want to do but in what we all need to do. The conundrum of my generation, how to solve the unsolvable and survive the trauma that comes with hurdling insurmountable odds. Questions abound as the world feeds us nothing but answers…it is no wonder, that as a whole, we are all confused. Where have all the questions gone? It is the insatiable, instability of life that has made us all quake with both fear and anticipation.
The nightmare and the beautiful dream exist as one.
Is it the dawn of a new beginning or the final sunset into oblivion? This is the story…of what will happen. Not what has happened! Do we share? Do we adapt? Do we conquer? Do we all make do with just the basic needs of life?
These are the questions…unfortunately the world is full of apathy and mistrust, which stand as the tools used by the kings and knights of a new order of feudal capitalism. The greed was incessant, the materialism killed the middle class, and credit was their innocuous weapon of choice. The bankers, the politicians, the business leaders all colluded and lied…not only to us but to each other. The truth is perceived as lies because it seems so unbelievable among the chaos. For too long, lies where viewed as truth and credit was viewed as real money. It was a call to arms with a patriotic duty to spend.
How do we all capture that innocence again? To make perceptions change, to invest, to have patience…will it restore faith in certain universal truths.
All I can do is search for the answers to certain unasked questions!
The dream was an illusion; the nightmare is reality. No one was paying attention; we have only ourselves to blame. Many questions should have been asked, but 'should' is of no use . . . questions must be asked, answers demanded. Apathy needs to be forever banished as the American way. 'Someone else can deal with it' must be replaced with 'what can I do?' The hateful, self-serving talking heads must be recognized for what they are: hateful and self-serving. They contribute NOTHING positive to the national dialogue.
