REFLECTIONS ON
RECENT BLOG
You would
have to dig deeply to find any political references in my blogs. That is because I find it difficult to find
anything particularly worthwhile in the current political atmosphere to
elaborate upon. I think it best to focus
on trees, cabins and decks, rather than politics. That is not to say that I am oblivious to the
political climate currently enveloping our universe. It would be more accurate to say that I would
prefer to confine my memoirs to issues much more pleasant to contemplate.
I often opened
personal discussions about politics or the cyber civilization with the oft cited
tale about Abraham Lincoln having accomplished a good deal of his writing and
ciphering on the back of a shovel with a piece of charcoal from the cabin cook
stove. Ah, how simple life was back
then.
Now, our
younger generations turn on the tube, or the cell phone, and hear about
impending plans for prosecution, impeachment, Brexit, rioting crowds tearing
down cities it took generations to build, bankrupt governments and trade wars. And, would you believe it? The messages even come in RAP! What ever happened to “Somewhere Over the
Rainbow” or “Look for the Silver Lining”?
Come to
think of it, could it be possible that all of the current political rhetoric was the reason that one’s “get up and go” “got
up and went”? And could it even be
possible that some effectively applied rationalization could help us all find
the lost “get up and go”? Possible,
yes! Probable, no! Unless some people who call themselves politicians
come to their senses and grow up!
