This is a very interesting post. I agree wi...Ric, <br /><br />This is a very interesting post. I agree with a lot of what you say and appreciate every ounce of care you have into your thoughts. You mention being proud and the overall attitude of American citizens, and how it attributes to the direction of our country. This is very true. Energy has real power to it, and if there is more positive energy flowing throughout the country I think we can achieve a form of unified happiness. Progression in my opinion does not always mean larger and faster. Progression in my mind is digression in mentality. What I mean by that is simplifying things that have become so complicated in American society. This also ties into what you said about pride along with ego. Our entire being in America revolves around what appears good or appealing to other people. Self image if you will. If we remove ego from all of our lives, the things we do become naturally good for all of our lives. Its not just financially progressing, but things like our health, eating patterns, consumption of resources, and self sustainment all need to change not as a country, but as individuals. You know this by being a trucker that sustaining on the road and creating something (which was profit) is rewarding the same way growing your own food could be, or creating your own happiness. Don't get me wrong I am not disagreeing with the more political stuff you mention, I just like to emphasize on changing the human being first. I welcome a change such as a revolution. We do need a level playing field because what has been created doesn't work anymore, and has not for some time. We have no more voice, and no power as the people who make up this country,and the people who have taken that (political, and business) should be removed. I really like your thoughts on it all and enjoyed reading. Keep it up because awareness is key through facets of communication like this. Spread the word and stay positive.<br /><br /> --Steve<br /> http://openeye365.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
