I enjoy writing blogs about things that I find interesting and find that a few people might enjoy the ride too. Lately here I was just thinking about how challenging life is for people of this generation. One would think that as modern society continues to make advancements- that life will get better for all of us, but that is not the case. My father told me stories from his youth about how he had to work from sun up to son down and only earn 50 cent for the entire day and sometimes he would get nothing at all. Fast forward to 2017, couples (every couple is not married) work two jobs and are gone 8-10 hours from the home and then have to rush home to help kids with homework, cooking dinner, paying bills and maybe watching a TV show or the big game before going back to sleep! This brings about a whole new set of issues and health concern's. The worldly solution is........allowing people 2vtake pills for everything to help cope with life. This includes pills for sleeping, waking up, anxiety, depression, erections, blood pressure and so on.
Anywho, the internet has changed the game in ways I would never could have imagined as a youth growing up in South Bend, Indiana. For example, I saw a video on YouTube the other
day showing a young boy (11 years old) jumping from a 30 story window to his death. He was upset because his parents took his video game away, so he wanted to teach them a lesson. I wonder how many people watched this child jump to his death and think it was acceptable? I just don't get it!
I watched a show last night called VICE on HBO that featured young kids who wanted to have sex changes. I find it amazing that an 8 year old is deciding they want to be another gender. I never thought about wanting to be a girl. I found out that these decisions also come with a 41% death or suicide rate too! I know a lot of people say that its a choice, which I totally agree but I don't think others should force me to accept things that I do not agree with.
Another thing that I am considering is people who are prejudice. Again, as a youth I grew up on a street where my family was the first blacks in the area. Our home was regular hit with raw eggs, Nigger spray painted on our house and cars but no one never knew who did it, at least that is what the cops said each time. Have you ever watched that show "Everybody hates Chris"....yeah that was my life in a nut shell. Nevertheless, I still never hated white people as they hated me. I always wondered why they disliked us so much, but my point is this....why do we still have hate like that in 2017. Why do we keep teaching our youth that this is ok?
The last thing on my mind is truth. It seems like the world gets mad at someone who tell the truth and embraces the people who spread lies. Look at all the people who ran to the election polls last November and cast their votes for the person who promised them a better life. I wonder how they feel now??? Honesty is not what people want anymore. Need I say what happen when Jesus walked the Earth almost 2,000 years ago.......they killed him and that day is called good Friday. I tell ya, this world is not what it use to be. I guess when the end of the world comes, we can all wake up.
I am Ward......
