Future Planning

November 26, 2007

Where will your kids be in 2020? Where will America be in 2010? Where will you be in 2008? Life is short and there isn’t much to it when compared to eternity. The difficulty is that we’re not doing any planning whatsoever, or very little. Is anyone thinking about the future when we keep cutting down the rain forests or consider what that means when there aren’t any? How long will that take? How much longer before we have polluted the rivers, streams, and oceans beyond recovery? What’s the problem here? There’s no future planing!

Who Wants Cheaper Auto Insurance?

We’re acting like our kids, not adults!

Who would think of giving their thirteen year old child the keys to a car that they’ve never driven? In essence we’ve empowered ourselves with the splitting of the atom. We’ve taken the keys to the car (metaphor for taking our lives in our own hands) and we’re out on the highway of life with a bunch of other people who have never driven a car before. What damage we don’t do to ourselves, others will!

We need a lot more maturity to handle our resources: what’s left of them.

We’re rebelling against nature, the very thing that sustains our life. We’re leaving the lights on and making trips here and there that we need not all the while refusing to see how much electricity, gas, and energy we’re wasting. We’re more into how we look on the outside than we are on what’s really lurking on the inside. How long before the pent up rage breaks out?

And in this war in terror how many “others” must we kill before we’ve wiped out terror (in them)? For a father who just lost his wife and two children to “collateral bombing” by American planes, who does he think the aggressor and terrorist is? You know the answer.

There seems to be no future planning, just current living.

Unless we begin looking down the road and take ourselves off of the over-stimulation of instant gratification, the future may not be there. Remember, we’ve empowered ourselves with the ability to put dirty bombs in suitcases and wipe out a small city in a matter of days. And that’s just one example.

May slow down and give some thoughts to where all this crazy living is leading!
