I would like address all Americans. Since the 1950's our country has begun a shift in its priorities.
We use to be one nation with a common goal (under God). We might not have been the same, but we respected
differences of opinion and different cultures. Area's where we were not tolerant we were beginning the process to be more tolerant. We were all Americans interested in all Americans prospering.
What happened, today we are me, me, me. Our country went from we to me. We don't respect differences of opinion. We don't respect differences of religion. I think Americans need to get in touch with their spirituality. We need to make a fundamental shift in our priorities. We will need to start small, each American begin thinking of more than him or herself. We must practice what our individual religion teaches us. Even people who do not think they are religious will accept this
concept because they will want to be treated the same way. They want a better world for their children.
Do no harm.
Do onto others as you want them to do to you.
Love your neighbor as you love your family.
Respect all opinions
Everyone deserves education
Everyone deserves health care
Everyone deserves a good paying job.
If everyone has a good job, with health care, and a good education. We can start making America a better place. W will have more time for spirituality. This was once the best country in the world. It can be again.
What do you think?
