With headphones on, buried neck deep in work, I received an interesting message. A personal message that applies to my wife and I that goes back to the very beginning. A message that I feel applies to some dear friends that are facing numerous challenges in their lives. A message that ..needs.. to be heard by those that Drive by area Churches, see all the Cross in the lawns in support of National Right to Life month, and don't feel ill or choke back the tears.
"Have it your way" and other such Advertisement slogans tend to yield an attitude that we are entitled to many things. To what extent does "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" go? While many are likely to disagree with me on this, the fact remains, that it is not always the case that we are entitled to the things we feel we should be. If our own "pursuits" trample the very lives, the very happiness, and the very pursuit of Happiness of others... Especially the defenseless. Well when that happens, I can't help but think something may have gone wrong.
On so many fronts. personally, amongst family and friends, and politically within the US, I can't help but wonder if we need parts of our "World" to be torn apart. Perhaps then our society will value life and compassion over possessions, power, and a culture of death.
