Two Separate Worlds

It's been a long time since I posted anything. I guess I do it for me,as much as anything, to get it out so I can look at it in writing. And hopefully get some feedback and responses to my thoughts and outlooks, or opinions. The last few years have been a mix of blessings, frustration and unbelievable highs and lows.

I do my best, not to watch the news, but it's something that I've done for so many years, it's a tough habit to break. It seems to me what we watch on the news, and what goes on in our everyday life, are so different.

The media is infatuated with government. The government is infatuated with themselves. The average American is so apathetic to both of them, it seems to be a lot of wasted time, money and effort. You can change the channel over and over and over, and you get different stories from just about every one of them.

You don't know who you can believe, if any of them. Nothing ever seems to get resolved. From everything I see and hear the word justice needs to be redefined. This is one of the few reasons I like being the age that I am. Because it seems to me before it's all said and done, things will get much worse before they get better.

I feel our politicians are serving themselves now and not the people the country. They put on a nice song and dance. They say all the right things to make people believe that they're doing everything for the people. But I'm not buying it.

Since I'm not a big fan of either party at this point, my question I'm going to throw out is "what do you think?" I've always been a very motivated person always tried  to move forward, try to do the right thing, and make some money in the process. I've always been in business for myself because when I work for the big companies I felt like I was just a number, not a real person. 48 years I was in the workforce. I was a hands-on kind of owner. In the process I beat my body to death. Now I'm paying for that.

I tried an occupation where I used my brain more than my body, but it's a very difficult business and I was not successful at it. I would love to hear from a few younger people, and older people too, and here what you feel about our country and about its future, and about your future. I love this Country, but I am more concerned now than ever. Power and money seem to have taken over.

That's all I'm going to put out today, and see if anyone else would like to talk about it. I spend quite a bit of time alone and it goes around and around in my head until I'm exhausted. Let me hear from.

Thanks a lot.
