What is the world coming to?
Another hurricane is aiming right at the states. This is after Katrina and Rita. We also have major mudslides in Guatemala, typhoons, earthquakes and lets not forget the feared avian flu. Has there every been a time in history when so many things have gone wrong at such close intervals? I am hoping yes but also have some fear of what the world is coming to. Did we all really think we could live the way we do and have no consequences? Whether your a spiritual person or not you have to think that the things done would eventually cause problems. We have taken out anything positive in our lives. Morals are out the window and people seem to be focused on issues that really are no big deal but because those issues have been argued about forever it is considered safe because they know they will never be resolved.
You have video games where there are rapes and murders of women, movies have such blatant and pointless violence and even cartoons have ratings of PG-13. Cartoons! I am sick and tired of hearing how movies and such have no real affect on kids. Because a parent is too lazy to stand up to their children because they want to be their friends they allow them to watch and do what they want. Then they cry that they are out of control? Stop letting the entertainment world mold your thinking on what is appropriate for your child. It is not okay for them to play video games where they can rape a prostitute or murder a cop, or to watch a movie filled with sex and violence or to listen to music whose lyrics are filled with cursing and strong sexual language not to mention the music videos! When did these concepts become normal? Why is it so hard to raise a family now? When did morals become passe?
I want to be able to watch a show with my kids and not feel uncomfortable because of the subject matter. I want to listen to the radio and have it make me feel good not depressed. I want to turn back the hands of time so my kids can see how good life can be if more people actually take responsibility for themselves. I know, it is a big dream and seems impossible but for my kids I will keep dreaming and making sure that at least in our house they are free to be the little ones they actually are.
