I want the America I grew up in to be better. I don’t want what doesn’t work back … ever and I defiantly don’t long for the good old days; because I’m all about being better.
I don’t want the America that only serves some of America; I want The America that’s for the people, by the people. A true American is now a diverse individual … understand it and deal with it and move on. The old America is gone, understand it and deal with it and move on. The current President is Barack Obama, understand it and deal with it and move on. Ronald Reagan is gone, understand it and deal with it and move on. Dinosaurs are gone, understand it and deal with it and move on.
Longing for the good old days is an exercise for daydreamers. Those of us who are awake are busy with the here and now and are planning for the future. If you’re not planning for the future, then you’re planning for extinction. The world has changed and will continue changing. Everything and everyone who are capable of adapting for change, survives, all others will soon become extinct. Knowing that extinction is in your future fosters bitterness, fear and anxiety.
Every four years there’s a Presidential election, always has been for as long as I can remember and world hasn’t ended. In 2 ½ hears, there will be another election and life, as it did centuries before, will go on and like centuries before, life will continue to change … understand it and deal with it and move on and stop being afraid.
