Fears

Many people are reading the news or watching television without thinking, feeling that the sources are correct without considering these same sources of information are moving so fast to disperse it, are doing so without verifying all the details, we are getting half truths and here say, considering as fact and proven without doubt.

I would propose this to you, the reader, think for yourself, look at all the facts, don’t take what one group or person says at train yourself on this theory. Have the sense to create your own opinion and look at what is said as only part of the story. However, it is not some foreign country that is out to get us, it is our fear of something we do not know everything about or that we don’t understand that is preparing our way to self destruction.

Our leaders are scrambling to quell the fear that they do not know what they are doing, or that WE don’t think they know, which to some degree, is a definite truth. Once Nobel and well respected, our Country is sinking in debt and the people in power are struggling to keep what power they can, and keep control of the economy by passing “stimulus” packages or “bailing out” companies that are thought to support our very way of life. I find it strange that our government is giving our tax dollars to the same businesses that “messed” the economy up, or giving it to countries that are Anti-America or would rather see our way of life fall apart than assist us in finding a resolution. We don’t need handouts or food stamps; we need a reduction in costs, lower interest rates and affordable health care. Hand a man a check and he may take care of some issues, but if he has a job, he has continual growth opportunities. 

People are loosing the ability to think for themselves, we all have fears, and these fears are starting to determine who and what we believe, we are becoming so eager to cling to an ideal that comes even remotely close to our own that we are simplifying our minds to accept concepts that at one time would seem foreign or less than believable. We are loosing faith, within ourselves, taking hope by latching on to even the smallest chance that we can connect with someone in power that can benefit us. But we forget that these higher powers are often more concerned with their way of living, not ours. 

I would like to leave you with this, “personal opinion”, questioning authority, for the benefit of our futures is our right and responsibility, take nothing for granted and question everything, leave nothing to chance, and we will have a chance.
