Come together as one

There has never been anything good that has come from pretending to sweep problems under the rug. Not addressing the real problems we face has become why we live in an unstable world. Take for instance, how the world allows its children to go hungry and let food and supplies go into the hands of war lords or rogue nations to develop nuclear weapons. We continually let this go one without any checks and balances that can offer a solution or better yet a deterrent.


America has been the world’s policeman since WWII and we as a nation have to start finding ways to build a coalition to stop the atrocities that are happening each and every day. With today’s global economies it seems to me that it would only make sense for all of these nations to come together and right the world of its wrongs.

Can anyone truly give any rationale to why we don’t help to create a better world for all of us? Governments come and governments go since the fall of Rome, yet one thing remains the same, people have always strived for a better world for themselves and their families and friends. It is almost inbred in us to want that. Most of our DNA makeup is programmed to want this. There are two ways to go about creating that better world. One happens with love and compassion and the other happens with shortcuts and fear.

Look at the western old time cowboy, Wyatt Earp. Earp had always had his flaws. He wanted to make money and live a better life, but being a lawman always festered in his blood. He did what was right in the end and that is important.

Come hell or high water, The Red Cross always shows up when it is needed. Hurricanes, floods, famines or even a volcanic eruption, there is one constant in every one of these tragedies, that big Red Cross. Helping the needy and doing it above all else is what that organization is all about.

Love your neighbor and love your enemy is written in the bible. Patently, it is incredibly hard to love the neighbor who just wants to wreak havoc on the world.

It could be that jealousy is the theme of the day for neighbors who do not want to play nice on the playground. It also could be that people do not have it in them to be a leader and just follow the course that has been presented to them. That my friends is called cowardice. Standing up for your self is the key. Joining together to end a wrong is a lot easier than doing it alone.

We have seen our vulnerability, and we have seen its deepest source. For as long as whole regions of the world simmer in resentment and tyranny-prone to ideologies that feed hatred and excuse murder-violence will gather, and multiply in destructive power, and cross the most defended borders and raise a mortal threat.

There is only one force of history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment and expose the pretensions of tyrants and reward the hopes of the decent and tolerant. And that is the force of human freedom.

We are led, by events and common sense, to one conclusion: The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands. The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world.
