I fear that our country is in serious trouble. The social decay of a considerable number of our citizens; the rampant belief that life revolves around them; parenting is a secondary occupation; disrespect for our environment; entitlement mentality and loss of hope. The world, on the whole, is becoming a more dangerous place and death due to religion is going to be more common place. Its scary and sad and I feel very bad leaving this mess for my children and grandchildren.
I have to say I am at a loss of what to do or where to start. I'm not a religious person but I am very spiritual. I was raised with the 10 commandments and believe in a christian way of living. I was raised and I raised my children with the same principles of respect for others and tolerance of differences. Even if we could institute changes in our country that would bring about healthy changes, how do we inspire the rest of the world?
