Accountability

     I really do not like writing I would much rather speak, because to me it is somehow more personal. And most of the time what I write will not come out like how I would speak it. I know it sounds strange but it's true. What has drawn me into this confrontational moment in my life is the lack of accountability people have in their own lives. This lack of accountability seems to concentrate around areas of ones personal lives. People can go years an have no adversity in their lives and then one day when it happens they fall apart. But it is how they fall apart that is telling. Instead of stepping back and taking a look at what they done to prevent or possibly get ready for something to go wrong they just wander through life enjoying their expensive toys. That's when you notice they have backed themselves into a corner and when they come out, they come out fighting the wrong person. That is the reason behind the lack of accountability. Too many times in today's society I have seen people lose their collective minds over small things or little barriers they have to jump over in order to create a better life for themselves. It seems to me that we are a society that has become so obsessed with keeping up with the other person, we have lost focus on everything else. We never talk about a person's intellectual achievements we talk about the crap they own, as if that defines the totality of their work. It seems to me we judge people on what they own not on who they are. 

     What scares me the most is the direction I keep seeing people in this country heading. We have become comfortable with liars running our Government and in general. It has become somewhat acceptable to do so, that is to embellish an accomplishment that is not deserved. Example: When I take a programming job I have to prove every College accomplishment I have achieved and job history and general back ground. They do not just take my word for it. Now on the other hand, to become President that somehow is not the case, why? Then as this very person runs the country into the ground and  you criticize his objective you are somehow labeled a racist. This does take us off the original beginning of this conversation of defining one's life, but in the same instance it also  puts the focus back on what is acceptable to people now days. It would seem to me that more and more Americans are willing to just believe all the hype and promises just to make themselves feel comfortable. But then what happens when there is a slip up. And what happens to those very people who at this point have been feeling so comfortable in their own little world that they somehow forgot that the world is a very big place? History bears this out in fallen Civilizations, and Governments. Most of you will say "Well that cannot happen here" I am sure that's what the Romans's were saying at the time. Most will also say "That in today's society that would never happen" while all along passing a person on the street that is hungry by looking the other way. By watching a crime happen and just looking in the other direction. Also while playing vile games of perpetrating violence on others just so you can post the videos on the Internet. Slowing down at an accident scene and looking for blood or someone hurt. That to me is a telling sign of the beginning of the fall of an idea and a country. 

     There are no magic answers here. But I feel if we do not start asking ourselves what can we do to improve what has become of our country we will not have a country to ask about. Set down and ask yourself " what is the most important thing right now in my life?" my family or my stuff. What can I do to change myself and take some of the stress off my life and therefore enjoy the time I have here. As a Physicist I can tell you one thing, life is special and is very complex. The fact that you are reading this is nothing short of a miracle. Because of what it takes to get you to this point is a biological and mathematical symphony like no other. The shear complexity of life is nothing short of a miracle. 

     I kind of been all over the place here but what it boils down to is are you willing to live on this beautiful earth buying crap you cannot afford just to satisfy others, and then spending the rest of your life worrying how you are going to pay it off. Or living a simple life and enjoying the wonders around you. Are you going to get involved in understanding what the Government is doing to you and to your rights or will you just set back and say "whatever I will deal with it when it affects me". Are you going to take a closer look at your own life and take accountability for it, or will you still blame others for your downfalls and unhappiness. Personally I believe nothing will change because people are too busy feeling good about all the lies and promises they have been feed , we are caught up in a vicious cycle just like the Romans were and we are to arrogant as a species to admit where we are wrong and where we can avoid the failures of history. I would hope for my Kids and my Grand kids sake we can stop the failure before it encompasses the world and this nation into total darkness. We have lost sight of what was important to us from the start of this Nation. They have taken your Religion they have taken your families and now are taking your rights. It is up to you to stand for what you believe in. 


If we do not distinguish that Which is immoral or evil we will become that which changes us forever. If we hide in the dark while our freedoms and morality are taken from us we then become the dark. We must raise the light of freedom to return this country to it’s greatness. And throw off the chains of tyranny and take back our families, our religious freedom, and the innovations that made this country great. Instillation of family values are the right of the family not the government.
