In this world in 2012 we ask –
What do we need?
We
need …
-Men and women
of integrity
- true to their word, living lives of consistency, living lives of wholeness
and reliability
We
need …
-A good set of
morals
- morals that are good for all mankind, not just favoring a person, a sect, or
a region. Morals are an important
ingredient in the fiber of a world view that keeps us together.
We
need …
-Love and
respect
– a love that is tolerant of other’s ways of viewing the world and respect to
guard the right to hold onto that view.
We
need …
-Truth – truth from
our superiors, truth from our governments, truth from our media sources, and
truth from our role models.
We
need …
-Common Sense – the synonyms
for this phrase are … rational, reasonable, sound, consistent, coherent, and
valid. Enough is said on that subject.
We
need …
-A right view of
God
– God is for every man, every woman. He
is not a black God or a white God. He is
the God of all, creator of all. Every
person you pass on the roadway is known by God.
Every person you see on any media source is an individual with a name,
likes, a past, dreams, a future and hope.
What do we need?
Citizens of this world who
understand and accept a world view of mankind co-existing and thriving, side by
side. We are a global community. We depend on others from around the globe.
In the movie The Sum of all Fears based on Tom Clancy’s book, President Nemerov,
the Russian President, delivers these lines after a near-world-ending collision
course has been avoided.
“Our
most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe
the same air, we all cherish our children’s futures, and we are all mortal.”
We are linked.
So, what do we need?
We really do need each other!
