Alice In Chains - Your Decision

There is a trend in The United States right now that can be viewed as frightening. It seems those who have an education don't seem to know as much about what they have studied as those who have never went to college. I suppose, in some cases, education comes with experience. Needless to say, opinions are and will remain that, opinions. In our society today, there is too much information from which to choose. This results in locking on to that which is familiar to you; such as a political or religious stance or television program and it means that you are probably getting your information from one source. This is one value of getting an education: always use as many sources as necessary to get the paper done right. Well, the same holds true with society. Now more than ever we need to read news from multiple sources and listen to those who have studied subjects that are pertinent to any given situation..

I used to get confused a lot when I was a kid. I always had to be doing something or I would just go nuts. Something was not normal inside me and everyone around me knew it. But there was no diagnosis for it. No medication. Nothing. Now that what I have has been discovered and there is medication, I still feel the sensation of being down all the time. I just can't shake this nasty feeling. I have begun to isolate myself and stay away from crowds. I have cut off friends I have known for years. The more I grow older, the worse it seems to get.

In today's political climate, truth is the enemy. It has become so bad that even when clear evidence, on tape, is presented to those who support Trump, it is of no real consequence. His constant lying about things he knows nothing about and the fact that he has control over the most powerful military the planet has ever seen should scare everybody.

I grew up when we actually had to get up and change the dial on the TV set. We had three channels back then and it was fine for us. My friends and I spent most of our time outside in the heat or cold. We played football, basketball, hockey, baseball, and we spent a lot of time at the local park where there was a public swimming pool. We all got dirty everyday and we knew nothing about helmet's as we used our skulls to protect our brain's. These days are not the same for kids. I suppose this is normal as every generation comes up with newly developed technologies. I have a niece who never leaves her room because she spends all of her time on the computer. She has gained a lot of weight as a result and has no friends IRL. There must be a balance that is struck in each of our lives when it comes to technologies. We must never lose sight of the fact that we are explorers by nature. This means we must be in the outdoors more often, all of us, because new technologies don't just affect the younger generation, it affects us all. It is nature that truly speaks to us.

Right now I feel as if I have no place in the world. I am all alone. I have felt this way my whole life, but now that I am getting older, it is becoming more and more difficult to deal with everyday life. I see horrible things coming. I see division everywhere. I see hate flowing through the hearts and minds of decent people. I see fear fear fear running rampant all over the world. I can't shut off what I see and feel everyday. It is continuous and my fear is very real to me.

No Rules

Too often lately, I'm hearing pure and hateful rhetoric coming from the "so called" Christian community here in the United States. I am seeing drastic changes taking place in the ways in which people look at one another. People are becoming desperate. And when desperation becomes part of the game, the rules are no more.
