Welcome to my blog

Maybe this will just be talking to myself. If you have stumbled upon me, hi there. I am glad to make your acquaintance.
The world is in a mess, isn't it? How did we get here? How can we fix it--can it ever be fixed? Are you scared? I am. I am also profoundly disappointed in people in general, and governmental leadership in particular.
Where do we go from here? Do we just put our heads down and slog onward, hoping that a miracle will befall us and things will get better?
The problem I see is that things won't get better until WE get better. Our society is sick and unhappy, lonely and distrustful. The reality you carry around in your head is the reality that ultimately surrounds you. If you look around and wonder how the world got to this state, look in the mirror. You (and I ) have created a part of the whole. No one is to blame--we are all to blame. The flip side of this, is that we can all create the solution--one person at a time--in our own heads. The basic bottom line is that we need to decide at some point, that we will try to do THE RIGHT THING each and every time we have to make a decision. Part of the reason there is so much misery in the world is the fact that a great many people are not doing THE RIGHT THING and they know it. So they prevaricate and rationalize and obfuscate and turn themselves inside out trying to convince anyone remotely around that what they are doing is RIGHT. When they somehow manage to get some positive feedback, they take that as proof that what they know is wrong is actually right, so the voice of conscience is quieted for awhile. How many of you know people that do this? How many of you do this yourself. If you claim you don't do it, you are fairly far along on the road to self delusion. Its human nature. But your inner mind will know the difference, and you won't be happy. Not now, not ever. Sorry to be so blunt about it, but its the truth. If you want to be happier than you are right now, learn to tell yourself the truth. No--its not fun, and sometimes its really really hard. Tough toenails. The world doesn't really care. The truth is the truth, and the sooner we make peace with it, the better off we will be.
That's enough for now. Will write more later.
Tell the truth today. Even if it feels weird. Be gentle and kind if you have to tell a hard truth. But tell the truth ABOUT YOURSELF even if it is only to yourself that you speak.
TELL THE TRUTH
