Today’s Blog Post
Defeating Selfishness

About the time you think you have it together… life becomes unglued… and it all seems to fall apart.

I am watching that happen to some good people at this moment. They have so much… but because of personal issues they will possibly lose it all soon. It is so sad.

I know that is a downer for today… but it is a reality. Personal choices have been very bad. Decisions have made a problem grow to proportions that even the strongest army would not be able to stop them. At least that is the way that the parties involved feel at this time.

Is there hope? I mean can we ever expect that things might change and maybe even go back to what they were before?

I am afraid the answer is likely “No” on that question. BUT it could be better. In fact it could be much better.

I have witnessed that part at every wedding. Stuff has happened in the past that almost made the wedding impossible to come about. Then attitudes change and the things fall into order. Providing selfishness doesn’t come back into the picture again… things could be okay.

There is that word again… selfishness. It comes at the worst times. It rears its ugly head over and over again… until it destroys all that are involved… and in fact it can come back generations later to bite who ever is in its way.

I am out to crusade against selfishness. Strike up a parade and declare selfish people to be outlawed and not allowed out of their homes… and possibly even ship them out of the country to Selfish Land – a country far, far away.

Wouldn’t that be something? A world without selfishness!

How could that be? Could it ever happen?

Maybe if it started with me… by being unselfish… and being ready to help anyone, anytime… maybe then it would be better?

Hey – you know that just might help. I think I will do something today! I will start now and give away what ever I can… my time… my knowledge… my love and my concern. Yah, that is it! Someone might get the idea.

Wahoo – the world is changing already… right before my eyes.
