A Rant

It has come to my attention that the entire world is just going mad. This isn't a new development, nor is it shocking that it has occurred, but good Lord when will it all stop? Now, I am speaking/typing on many different levels: state of the union, economy, mental capacities, etc. All in all, we're going crazy. At some point we have to think that whatever it is that is going on in our lives, whatever it is that is going on in this country, we have brought this on ourselves. We have made poor decisions and are now seeing the effects of those choices. It seems to me that we have all forgotten how to take responsibility for our own actions. Instead of fessing up and saying, "Wow, I made a mistake and I need to fix it," we scream at the top of our lungs that someone else has wronged us and that there wasn't any way we would have made said mistake if it weren't for someone else. Or, in our attempt to right a wrong, we take completely ludicrous steps down the wrong path in the hopes that no one will point out the error of our ways, but allow us to continue in a manner that best suits our liking. Nope. Sorry folks. It is time to be responsible. It is time to stop feeling entitled. We aren't entitled to jack except for Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. That's it. You don't get to cut people off just because you want to be ahead of them in traffic. You don't get to spend the country's money simply to further socialism (in the name of democracy). You don't even get to walk away from your mistakes because you don't feel like dealing with them. That's not how this whole thing works. When did humans stop being humane? Honestly, I am tired of lying and cheating all in the name of something better. When did bad things ever lead to good ones? Maybe I'm way off base and maybe I'm just getting things off my chest, but in my humble opinion (and on my own blog) it is time for every one of us to evaluate ourselves and make sure we are all making good choices and bettering the places in which we live. Ok, I'm done now, I promise. Happier and friendlier blogs to come.
