Is It Any Wonder?

Is it really any wonder that some of our children (indeed, adults too) are becoming examples of degenerating moral convictions and ideals? Not ALL, of course; we know there are many positively engaged people, including many children; and those examples need to be promoted and applauded and brought to the forefront.

I want to bring attention to what I feel are seriously negative influences that may effect our children, (and the rest of us) in this present generation. And, if possible, to look at how some of these things contribute to general moral decline and potentially to disastrous behaviors; and then to look at what, if anything, should and can be done to help uplift and encourage instead of demean and demoralize.

While the comments and ideals expressed here are strictly my own opinions (and sometimes conjecture), I am convinced that the evidence and examples given here will speak for themselves, and I am confident that my opinions are shared by many others who might also be eager to establish a voice for change.

I am also convinced that if nothing is done to reel in some of the rampant ugliness and general lack of moral impetus, things will only continue to decline, and some of the examples here may actually become the norm rather than the exception. Haven't we seen this in past generations?

How far down does the human decadence need to go before the forces of Nature (God?) begin to take back control because we are not promoting, teaching, and embracing harmonious co-existence with each other (isn't that a requirement to maintain and sustain for future assurances?). We seem to gravitate toward the opposite direction, and we see the world is in turmoil largely because of that, (in my opinion). Why are we not promoting more positive ideals?

This blog is intended to open up dialogs, idea exchanges, opinions and ideals of others; with primary focus on what is truly important for future generations. And, hopefully, to come up with some workable helps and solutions for "bettering what needs bettering"!

Your comments are welcome!

And the beat goes on.....!

The negativity continues! Our news is filled with more and more signs of violence; more hatred; more conflicts; more wars; more ethnic, religious, racial, sexual, intellectual, personal, and other kinds of discrimination, cruelty, defamation, and other "ugly" human behaviors and practices.

It seems like some things in our society are becoming like they were thousands of years ago...when human beings lived their lives under the philosophies and practices of "cut-throat" and "eye-for-an-eye" and "not-my-brother's-keeper" and other similar influences. We seem to seek more revenge, more vengeance, and more retaliation; instead of more forgiveness, more acceptance, more peace and harmony.

We allow our entertainment industry to freely promote violence, hatred, greed, sex, bullying, and blood and guts galore. We introduce very young, impressionable minds to these things, and, somehow, we expect them not to be affected by it. Duh! Shame on us, I say! Why don't we try teaching more of the opposites, instead?

Is it because we might have to (again) return to Divine reasoning? The only reasoning that makes any real sense for humankind is that which we've been taught through the many and varied religious influences. Indeed, many, if not all of our laws are based on very old laws with very deep connections to some of the earliest human reasoning that effectively swayed the entire species to think in terms of "the greater good", and not in terms of "just taking care of number one". Where did we lose the grasp on the "brotherly love" and "love thy neighbor" concepts we seemed to have, even as recently as a few decades ago?
