I can remember in the late 1970's listening to my father and grandfather talk about how bad the country and world were. And it seems that every generation does this, they talk about how bad things have gotten. I never seem to hear how good things have gotten as time has passed.
But here I am, thinking that the world is upside down.
That up is down and down is up, but could it be because I am getting older and looking back at the glory days of my youth when my dad and grandpa thought what I think today?
But we literally cannot define words anymore.
We claim everything is wrong, that even math is bad because of who used it first (math was discovered by the way).
I struggle in thinking that it's a small minority that actually partakes or believes in this "craziness", but yet, I see lots of "normal" people who support it and are willing to fight for it.
I said recently that if the most recently "craziness" ends, it won't be the worst part that it happened, but that we supported and celebrated it.
But it won't matter.
Few people see the correlation or would admit that just maybe by celebrating the most recent craziness actually leads to their downfall as well as the slippery slope that is our culture.
I've seen students not get the help they need because we support and celebrate certain things that five years ago would have gotten them immediate, severe help. I worry that we see the results of horrifically bad things that have happened to people and celebrate those results when we should be healing what happened to them.
But what do I know?
I know that the hypocrisy of some is so prevalent they struggle to even see that their own words and actions are hypocritical or could be seen as such.
I said today, I think many issues are on pendulum and we often don't do enough for certain issues like mental health, and then we get into the sweet spot of where we need to be, but alas, we go too far past what was needed.
But, maybe this pendulum will swing back to the sweet spot again.
We can only hope.
But what do I know? I'm just a guy who sees too much and thinks too often.
