Until recently I didn’t realize how literal the term “Global Economy” was. We are in this world together; we sink or swim as one.
As the adage declares, “He who forgets the past is doomed to repeat it.” Let we look to history, not to place blame, but view her a wise teacher with wisdom to share.
If we don’t get beyond our "us verses them" mentally, civilization will continue its downward spiral. Politicians continually fail to acknowledge there is a spiritual reality within the body of man. Ignoring this fact does not make it go away. Our fallen nature, the anger and hatred, our self serving interests, our greed; these things must be faced— and fought.
Illegal immigration and jobs shipped overseas have many people in lather. Our neighbors near and far just want to feed their families, like you and I do. Desperate people do desperate things. Should I care more about the welfare of your children than I do about the welfare of theirs?
In our greed– unwilling to share the wealth. In our selfishness– unwilling to share the work. Buy American union workers demand, then gorge themselves on sweatshop/child labor produced trinkets without a twinge of compunction
I believe America has failed to meet her high calling; we now have a opportunity to do things differently. Love one another; no sacrifice is to demanding for love. Love for family and friends comes naturally. But, love for the alien, the stranger and even our enemies is a decision only the spiritually strong can make.
With a Barack Obama Presidency on the horizon it seems as if America has been given a clean slate, a second chance; a fresh page in the history book of the world, a page ready to be written by our hand.
How will it read?
