ARE WE THERE YET?

In these days of science, instant information, every diversion imaginable and unbridled humanism - does anyone else feel that we have gotten it all wrong?  I grew up in the sixties, believing that we could change the world for the better.  Now that I am in my sixties, I see that our world has changed, but not for the better.

When I voice my concerns, no one wants to listen.  They 'turn me off' or 'tune me out'. Perhaps it's a natural response to the approaching horror to close their eyes - pretend it does not exist.  But, I ask you, "Can you feel the dread?"

I can.  I watch the news like an accident junkie; unwilling to look away, but later - sorry I watched.  I am guilty of slowing my car on the incoming side of the highway to observe the accident on the outgoing side - and the dread increases. I can't help believing that our clock is running out.

It is said that in the last days men will call good - evil and evil - good.  Are we there yet?

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20)
