"Pacifist guerrillas move undetected through concrete jungles
New forms are beginning to take shape
Once-occupied minds are activating
People are waking up
The insurgency is alive and well..."

I wonder, I question, reality? Distant false hope? Civilization leads along a path of self-destruction and murder, lose/lose situation? Uphill battle, potential struggles? Do we wake, just to sleep, and do the same thing tomorrow?

All over the world people have it far worse than we do, and we complain that the Mcdonald's employee forgot the ketchup on our hamburger, we complain when the coffee is old, we complain when the price of gas jumps up by almost a dollar...while slaves mine the diamond mines in Africa, and children work for a tenth of a cent in Taiwan, as children are sold over the black market in Mexico, all the while in Cambodia 22.9% of children die before the age of five.

This is my land, children will grow up in this land...can we at least attempt to make it a better place in the long-run?

The fable of the Little red hen comes to mind. Satisfaction was accomplished at each step of the many tasks.

Fables don't equate success. They are just stories to create a false sense of hope.

fables are not for hope nor success

they are to teach morality

if you learn the morality it does not guarantee success other than within ones self

and after all what success is more valuable than that of your inner being

Too many seem to focus on what they don't have and take advantage of what they do have.

If everyone opened their eyes and appreciated what they have before them and did. And made more of and effort to give back to others then our tomorrows would be brighter.bigsmile

The future counts on everyone not just a hand full.:thumbsup:
