Transforming Negativity into Light

Does it appear to you that the world is getting crazier?  More negativity that you might of experienced in the personal arena as in the political arena.  You may expect your family and friends to have discussions which might become a little heated; but not vicious or to the extent that you find yourself being either deleted or defriended on social media?  

Cell phones loaded with applications geared to catapult anyone into the spotlight may provide a forum or pulpit to spread ideas and philosophy.

Anyone can have their fifteen minutes of fame with the advent of youtube or younow platforms.  Some will show promise and become famous or infamous due to their character.   There are those who think it fair game to attack, criticize, and whatever suits their fancy as discourse.  Years ago it would be exciting and even exhilarating to engage with another human being in discussions and even debates regarding the no-go topics of Religion and Politics.  So sad to me and many others of my generation...(baby boomers)...

We were the generation of the freedom movement ....of free love, sex  and definitely freedom of speech.  We  were the generation of unity, a brotherhood and sisterhood, a family of sorts.....connected by a desire for world peace, love and understanding.   We had hoped that we could build a new world formed by universal brotherhood with love and the guiding force, exchanging ideas and dreams, living in harmony with the planet and all life upon it.  This was our dream and today it seems as though we shall never achieve it.  We scratch our heads now in dismay wondering, where could we of gone wrong?  The world seems to devolved instead of evolved. 

Daily we are bombarded with talking heads pushing their own opinions instead of stating facts and disbursing news across the globe.  Today we are agitated at the visceral between all political factions increasing the drama and stress in the hearts and minds of the masses.  Instead of unity, the New World forming is one of disharmony, distrust, dictate and the likes of control and tyranny never seen before.  Who could of believed that in this generation we would be living in the matrix of constant surveillance, threats for speaking your opinions and forget the free flowing exchange of ideas.  There is violence and tension between cultures of men and women.  There is racial hatred despite the accomplishments of our generation.  There exists an atmosphere of the possible rebirth of the brownshirts, the SS from the Nazi era.  We see the signs of extreme government over-reach and an outright disdain for our charter of liberties and the freedom to speak, and pursue your own vision and destiny to one of broken dreams and restrictions.  

Instead of the freedom to build businesses, to create and innovate with new technology and fill the needs of humanity....there is disdain for those who dare to take risks and build an empire.  There is much hatred for those who have dared to take huge financial risks and reaped huge financial rewards.

Countries across the globe are experiencing unrest and the cries of revolution in our own land.  You would think people would be fed up with war and conquest. Masses have demonstrated for the end to war one year and the next rant and rave about the possibility of outsider involvement in elections with no proof offered ready to take up arms because their candidate lost an election.  Do they not know the gravity of such threats?   To levy false accusations against any sovereign nation and threaten the leader and the nation’s people is a place where we never, ever would care to go.   We valued human life.  We would not want to kill a fly, animal ....and definitely not a human being.  For life was “sacred”  to most of us.  We were the “tres-huggers”...not the disrupters.  

There were revolutionists in our day too....we had the Weathermen, the Underground and their enticements to “kill your parents”  and those who were over 30 because they just could not grow fast enough to suit our level of superiority.   There was the Chicago Democratic Convention and the Students for a Democratic Society rioting in the streets and at the convention.  There were student protests at “Kent State” in Ohio where a small number of students were shot while unarmed, quietly protesting.  The older generation we surmised was feeling threatened by our radical ideas and political rhetoric.  We were fresh on the heels of the civil rights movement and the destruction and rioting which ensued had left a nasty taste in some people’s moths as they felt their very existence was under assault.  Well, my friends...the same situations confront us today, the rioting in our streets, private properties being destroyed due to a lack of respect for others.  There exists an apparent self importance with the youth of today and entitlement without personal responsibility.  We were the ones who joined the “Peace Corps” and volunteered to help make the world a better place.  We donated our money to PBS when it was a “public” network, today funded by subversive George Soros with an agenda and corporate foundations influencing the direction of thought and news.

We think that as we peruse the landscape today, we just might have something to offer the world in the way of advise because after all we have lived through great times, perilous times due to the Vietnam war.  Our generation has lived through not a single world war but enough wars to make us feel that enough is enough already!  Bloodshed is not our desire.  Love and brotherhood IS.

What legacy will your generation leave behind?   I am sorry that we have not succeeded where we had dreamt we might.  Youth seem uninterested in our experiences or wisdom for they think they have mastered it all already and know just exactly where they wish to be.  I wonder if they even know where that IS?  

May the good Lord above surround us with His love and His Light and guide humanity in the direction it should go.  The prospect of total destruction has never been so threatening. .Now is the time to bend to a higher authority,
