Positive thoughts

What happen to giving out of the pure satisfaction of pleasing another. Why now, must we receive in order to give. We feel we must receive something for our hard work, for giving to another selfishly as if “life” is at stake and you must make a good bargain. Free, what has become of that word, what was the purpose of that four letter word. A word that seemingly is loosing the value of its meaning. If you ask in today’s American society for a place to rest your head at night, a cup of water, and piece of bread to fill that parch and hunger you feel, you can expect to receive a look and action that follows most of the time you starring at the back of the person you just asked for help as they walk away. To ask one to fathom the thought of doing something for another;work, with no compensation of money but instead just the things they may need at the time, if anything, would be a thought most couldn’t. But you ask someone to do extravagant stunts, degrade themselves to a role outside the norm, even step on the toes of death for a shoot at TV time with no money compensation; just the chance to partake in a world not of reality but entertainment, most all would do.

What happen to community and the value it had? What happen to family and the value it had? What happen to the barter system? What happen to the mindset of giving and helping others? What happen to living and understanding life for what it is, and accepting what it is?

You know we've never actually been at a moment in time when all positive thoughts where all accepted at the same time. These things and many other thoughts have had its time in American society but never lasted, it was replaced and forgotten with the new better way. What would happen if we actually learned from the past, as we so loudly say we are, because if we've learned from the past than we would see peace. Yet we continue to repeat the same things, just in different ways and different justifications, and so we continue to see the same problems that are prevalent today that where prevalent back than.
