Look Left, Look Right, Step Up by the Gent

All I feel and see in our country today are people becoming more and more “Tribal.” You meet a new acquaintance and within a few minutes some type of political question is asked and immediately if you are not in “lock step” with your new acquaintance, the conversation turns for the worse. There goes another individual you probably have many things in common but because of one or two different points of view, in a world of thousands of points of view, you won’t become friends.

In 2023, we have to address friendship and the issues of our country and the world together. It is for the future of our children and the world. We all know the world is shrinking. The mass media using A. I. (Artificial Intelligence) is not only making the world smaller but is also confusing and dividing us. I am hoping we all realize this. I can not help but think that if we do not reach out in a meaningful way to the third-world countries to feed and shelter their poor, we are in for massive unrest and tribalism like this world has not seen in centuries. Our children will inherit this! You see it on our borders and other borders of the world now. This is just the beginning.

Call me crazy but if the richest countries like the U.S.A., China, and Japan, in conjunction with the rest of the world had coalitions of prominent and non-professional women addressing the subjects of hunger, famine, prejudice, etc. a lot more would get done. They have a deeper understanding of what it is to have a child that is hungry and deprived of opportunities. After all, they are mothers first and foremost. They’ll keep that little girl or boy warm, sheltered, and fed. We have the technology to keep the world cloth, fed, and sheltered. Allow them to come up with a “Doctrine For World Survival” and implement it. When are we going to understand that we are all in this together? I know there are men out there grimacing but look at what men are doing to the world today. Buying a MAGA hat, waving our flag back and forth, or building a wall is not the answer. A deeper understanding of what really matters needs to be addressed. It’s all very complicated but if we bring it down to its simplest terms, (Occam's razor),  our families, a family called our country and a family called our world will allow this beautiful “Mother Earth” to survive.
