We live in a self-indulgent society. Today I noticed a
society that is reckless. The idea of giving up anything for a common goal is
too much to ask.
I once thought I was invincible in my early twenties until I
got into a bad car wreck with an eighteen-wheeler on the interstate. My car
moving in slow motion in between the two tractor trucks in the rain thinking
this can’t be it. I haven’t lived yet. My life changed from that moment. Some
towards good things and some not so good. My definition of living was skewed at
the time.
Instantly I was more selfish and unwilling to give up things
that didn’t have me in the sentence. It worked for a short amount of time until
I realized what I had done.
Right now, I think it would serve our Country well to be
unselfish and think about others. Community is important but so is listening to
the facts and using self-distancing. It may not be the norm right now but
really what is?
