End of the Innocence.

Okay so it is 3:00 AM and I am still awake. Why? I still have no idea. Though in my mind I plan on going to church tomorrow how possible will that be as time drags on into this morning. So many things run through my mind that sometimes it is challenging to even stay focused. There are times when you have to even consider what exactly is focused. I mean really in this society that we live in we are so constantly rushed and hurried to go here and there and do this and that yet we have no real reason for the hurry or rush.

Why then have we gotten so consumed with the idea of hurry, hurry, rush, rush? Can we ever go back to a normal pace? Does normal even exist anymore or will we have to go to some where like the Caribbean and develop the whole, "NO problem MON" mentality just to slow down. Maybe we need to recognize and realize the things in life that really matter cherishing and honoring them.

It seems in this western culture, the American culture that we have no concept of what really matters. The moral fiber has slowly deteriorated along with the respect for authority and others. We have become a society that has no boundaries and limitations. It is a do what you want when you want society and worry about the consequences and repercussions later.

It is almost scary because we have made what was once sacred profane and the profane is normal. What really happened to bring us to where we are? What is the chain of events that have brought this country to where it is? Is it the whole Roe vs Wade, could it be the separation of church and state. What exactly is the invisible line that was drawn and we somehow crossed it and there is no turning back.

Can we recover the innocence and youth that we lost so long ago that children now have no concept of? To think that just a little over twenty years ago, a child was still somewhat innocent at the age of 12 yrs old, and now there are few 5 yr olds that can still be considered innocent. How have the children of America been robbed of their innocence, and where did it go? Will it ever be possible for us to recapture it, and bring it back?
