As I go through life I wonder, what has changed ?
We talk about the good old days......trust me they really weren't that good !
I have witnessed things that defy belief in many cases....destruction of people's lives, loss in so many ways and changes that have changed nothing in particular.
We spend countless millions on self-obsessing.....adorning ourselves with all the riches money can buy and yet in the place I call home we have families living in cars !
As our personal struggle continues, I wonder.....is there a better way ?
I feel blessed to be exposed to various cultures.....I have the ability to experience a wider variety of food from every corner of the globe and yet than ever before....and still I wonder how much has changed ?
We are closer as a global community than ever before...and yet further away from eachother now than any time in history. Our World wide web has given us so much and stolen from us at the same time....we can connect in an instant, speak to eachother from unbelievable distances around the globe...and yet we fail to communicate with each other !
There has to be a better way ?
Political leaders, that we have chosen to represent us spend a lifetime talking....changing very little, patting themselves on the back for the outstanding job they have done....and again I wonder what has changed ?
There is no such thing as an average family, poverty was once a far off notion that only happened in Africa....now, we walk past it on our own streets as we shop for the next big shiny thing that will help us in our journey...the journey of feeling better about ourselves, that journey that will assist us in ignorance of others.....the needs of our own community.
Until we come together....truly come together, share our knowledge....our resources...our abundant wealth......nothing will ever change !
Do we not deserve better ?
Do we ALL not deserver better ?
