What I learned today...

It really hit me today that most people do not think about the "next step"...what is going to happen when "I" do this action or say a certain thing. No one cares about the repercussions...most people are just doing their time...and this saddens me. I see it in every level of our society: the minimum wage worker to hospital therapists and all the way up to CEO's. Who are we to blame? Are the parents teaching this to their child? Do managers just let everything slide? Has every thing become all about ME,ME,ME and must have it NOW,NOW,NOW? Are video games to blame? It's all fast action, death is no big deal...we get everything we want almost instantly....I am definitely in a 'glass half full' kinda funk today....

But I have also learned a few sayings (from a great man) that help me along this road, and I just need to remember to say them more and more to myself-esp. like today:

We do the best we can with what we got, and go from there.

Do not concentrate on how far we fall but how well we rebound.

I have to say, most people I run into during my daytime don't give a rat's ass what is going to happen tomorrow. They are living for today and not that worried about tomorrow. I think this attitude is cased by all the crap
bouncing around the atmosphere: microwaves, TV transmissions, radio waves and cell phone waves.

Thats why I wear aluminum foil on my head at night.
