The world turns, isn't that the name of a soap opera on TV right? Well I feel that is our lives now too. We are all trying to keep up and gettting all this new information from the media sources--we are a world that depends on the connection. We depend on each other, but how deep are our connections? What about that time where we can reflect, try to understand about others, develop a real relationship with one another. Where we are not worried about the things we can't change, but work on the things we can in our communities.
I have been trying to keep up on the president's different ways he has been trying to stop this caving in of our economy, he is using the stimulus bill, trying to increase education spending, trying to focus on the war, etc. There are so many things that we are trying to do as a nation. The hard thing is how can we turn around a ship so big, we have already started on a path that lead us to greed, and now we are slowly trying to change the minds and hearts of our people, moreover the people who have had power and control in our nation for so long. I just hope that in the end that the United States will be open to this type of change, which means giving up some things that we have had for a long time. We have been a "I" centered nation, what can we do for me?? Now it seems it is time to change and think what we can do for us. Our children will have to deal with these issues down the line--I just wonder if we all care enough about ALL of the children to do something.
