We the people
Say what you will about humanity, you can't fault us for not having an ego. Being wrong is something we have a very major problem dealing with. Something, somewhere has gone wrong in more ways than one because it seems almost everyone nowadays wears their ego on their sleeves. And its not just the adults either.Adolescents and tweens alike are steadily shirking responsibility and taking up the words,"Its not my fault".
This however is not a discussion of the minor everyday details and squabbles.Whats troubling is the big picture. With this rapid degeneration of a mature sense of responsibility, all our troubles seem to arise from thin air. Fat people arent fat cause they eat too much but because Burger companies didnt warn them.Hah.FAT-lot-of good it does even after that. Teens can get away with anything short of murder because they are faced with "hormonal" changes and imbalances. I ask you, how come our forefathers managed to keep theirs in check? And if they didn't they bloody well didn't get away with it because they couldnt help it.
Where has the common sense gone from our lives and heads ?
Take for example Global Warming. Its here, in our face and clearly visible for anyone who has 1/4th a working brain.We are in deep trouble and what is the average persons response ?
"What can I do ?" or "Its not my fault".
Yes it is goddamit.Its your bleeding fault. Thanks to all that electricity you waste, the fuel you burn and the gas you use.Each time you get into your car to drive down a block or two, think about what the hell you are doing over time to our world. Do you still think you arent to blame?
Its time we get stop getting defensive and start seeing this problem for what it is....a pandemic. One that has covered more or less the entire globe and spreads further each day.Stop the shirking, start the working.
After all, its only the people of the world that can change it.We would hate for it to be the other way around.Lets hope We the People never see such a day when the things we say we arent responsible for come back and tell us that we were indeed their cause.
