I wish that we could all see
The hardship building gradually
For ourselves and our children
Then maybe change would happen
If we could all live for the future, I believe life woud be better. For so long, our ancestors did not realize or have the knowledge to foresee our future. Now that we are living with their mistakes, we have the ability to change the world for the better for those after us. Unfortunately, life is often too hectic for us to stop, think, and act the way required to make a positive, lasting impact for future generations.
I do believe huamnkind has made many positive adavncements but there are many negative choices we continue to make. The biggest issue I discuss over and over is the hurriedness of life, the financial burdens, and those other pitfalls that we let keep us from taking huge steps toward bettering the future!

I couldn't agree more! We definitely have made some amazing advances in technology at some pretty terrible costs. What's the saying? You can't have your cake and eat it too? I think that sort of sums up what we are both trying to say! Our society wants all of our achievements with none of the responsibility of what it means for our future.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting topic that could generate infinite ideas to talk about. I do agree with you that some of the advances we have could also be our downfall and I am sure you are passionate about this.I am also sure you have so much to share on this issue as it affects all of us in a great way. However, you need to expound on your response to make it more specific and give some clear explanations. We have covered so much information in this class that could provide helpful ideas as well as your own observations, other experiences and resources that are vastly and readily available.
Bottomline is, everybody can do something to make this world a better place but it all begins with acknowledging that the future is our responsibility.
