The Next Bold Move – Me Vs. The World

Buddha was correct.  Life is suffering.  How we handle the suffering through our actions, not our attitudes is what will change the world.  In my adult lifetime I have watched one leader’s incompetency lead the American people to hold their breath in hope for for the next leader.  Obama was elected on the campaign slogan of “Hope.”  Now, America has taken that hope and turned it into the attitude that Obama can change the world.  Some people are pleased with his actions some are not, but the common people are not stepping up to the plate to do anything about it either way.  My generation is known for their apathy.  We have taken the tradition of letting the government take care of things and as long as we vote we have done our part.  Our apathy is forcing us to give up basic civil rights like health care and the freedom to assemble.  Our laziness is letting this happen.  Someday when we have given up all the freedoms that our country was founded on we will line up along Main Street and point our fingers at the government once again.  This time we will blame the new leaders for riding on our wave of hope and destroying us.  None of us will see that it was our lazy attitude, our lackadaisical approach to politics, our inability to not eat McDonalds and buy crap at Wal-Mart just to buy crap at Wal-Mart that forced our government to change our health care, bail out the common man, take away our constitutional freedoms because we did not want the responsibility that came with these freedoms.  The world is changing and rather than be blindly be a part of it I recommend you educate yourself, fight for our freedoms, take on the responsibility that they entail and have hope in yourself rather than someone else to do your part in making the world a better place.
