Who’s
Going to Pull Us Back Together
At
best, at the moment, we are a fractured people.
We will fight at the drop of a hat.
We will argue, fuss, find fault, and drop anyone from our friend list on
social media simply because they vote differently from us.
We
are a nation undone. The seams have been
ripped to shreds and I question if the majority of us give a damn.
Yes,
I wrote “damn”.
If
we think the government is going to pull us back together, think again. There is so much in-fighting within the ranks
of our government, that the very idea of help from on high is futile and a
fruitless call.
The
worst solution to our dilemma … for a major catastrophe to occur. We don’t need another 9/11. We don’t need a nuclear bomb landing on our
land. Those tragedies would certainly do
the trick, for I’ve seen US pull back together after such incidents. And they work for a short time.
No. We don’t need that.
Now,
here’s a novel idea. What if we got back
to common decency, common courtesy. What
if we showed a lot, not a little, but a lot of respect for fellow
man/woman. What if we honored each other’s
God-given right to hold a differing thought, a challenging political
viewpoint.
And,
dare I say it, I’m for a bit less government meddling and monitoring and eyes
in the sky from Big Brother, or Amazon watching my buying habits and then
turning them against me, and any other “eye spy” apparatus that is now the
enemy.
We
can do this, Americans. We can pull it
together. We can still salvage the
strains of “the land of the free and the home of the brave”.
Will
we find it within us to do just that?
How
much are we all willing to bend, not break, but bend to begin this “pulling
back together” thing?
Nobody,
and I mean no body can do it for us. No
agency can legislate us into it, and no law is guaranteed to do the trick.
WE
the people must find the answers.
We
hold the ropes for this great pull.
WE!
Something to
think on,
in about 60
seconds.
