OURS AND OUR CHILDRENS LIVES, WHERE ARE WE GOING, HOW DO WE GET THERE

Have you notice the steady progression of events in our life. These happenings
to ourselves, our families, our communities, our country, and the world in gener
al have changed us. Where are we going in our life, what will happen. Tick Toc
k, Tick Tock. Every minute we live, is one less minute in the rest of our life.
Donâ t you think it is time to put a stop to the madness? How do you stop madness,
you just draw a line.
Are you kidding me, draw a line across the road of my life. Say it stops here;
from now on my life is going to be different. Where do I even start? Well first
you have to go back to the beginning, when you were a small child.
I wrote another article in facebook, under YOUR SAY. Our greatest resource in o
ur life is our children. All that is wrong in the world has to do with just tha
t, in my opinion. Hereâ s how we change it.
We as human beings have 3 intellects, the Intellectual Self (knowledge), the Emo
tional Self (feelings), and the Spiritual Self (morals). The proper mixing of t
he intellects through out every day of our life will determine if we become happ
y and prosperous or miserable and without purpose. As a young human being we ha
ve these capabilities, but we have to be taught how to use them.
Here is where we as parents and or authority figures teach our children the righ
ts from wrongs. It is up to us and only us to do this. Why, for your child, fo
r yourself, and for every other person on this planet. Thatâ s impossible you say.
It will be difficult. It will require every one of us as parents, and people as
authority figures to put forth the effort and hard work to accomplish this feat
.
If you believe in the survival of the human race, this task must be accomplished
. The clock is ticking. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock. The clock is ticking towards t
he slow corrosion of the human race, into dust and oblivion.
The teaching of morals to our child would actually help world events. How you a
sk. Every positioning of people in the world is influence through their politics
and beliefs. This stems from their moral character (how they were raised as a
child and what they believe to be true about life and free will). Further more,
the great masses of people that are uplifted by these people of influence, are
uplifted only because of their lack of direction. If they too had the moral cha
racter that they were taught from childhood from their parents or authority figu
res they too would not need direction. They would know what was expected of eac
h and every one of them. They would only do what was the right thing to do.
Wow, could it really be that simple. Yes it could, if we want it bad enough. R
eally what choice do we have? There has been this giant ball of our demise roll
ing down hill since antiquity. The clock is running Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock. Al
l it takes is one person to make the choice. The rest will follow. Are you that
one person? Tick, Tock.
Finally, one of the greatest leaders and philosophers of our time, GANDHI said t
his.
â Itâ s the action, not the fruit of the action, thatâ s important. You h
o do the right
thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, th
at there will be any
fruit. But that doesnâ t mean you stop doing the right thing. You m
ay never know what
 results come from your actions. But if you do nothing there wil
l be no results.â
Fifty years from now it will not matter what kind of car you drove, what kind of
house you lived in, how much you have in your bank account, or what your clothe
s look like. But the world may be a little better because you were important in
the life of a child. I know we all can do it. Good luck to us all.
