I have what is known as “writer’s block” when it comes to putting into words my thoughts about the world in which we live, love, hate and are not willing to leave no matter how miserable the circumstances that we are born into or are forced to endure because of the “That’s just the way it is” mentality we all accept as the truth no matter how painful it is. The twenty-four-hour news cycle dominates modern life. In the times that existed before the digital age, we now endure. Our brains had time to rest and recuperate in order to function in the world that existed at that time.

The influx of information that we are exposed to on a daily basis continues unabated although what to do with that knowledge seems to be lost by those who have the power to govern our lives and give us the reassurance that things are getting better when in reality life is just as unstable as it always has been in the past. I will from this point in time try to find a balance between the negative and positive events that we are forced to witness on a daily basis. life in modern times will test whatever skills we have developed over time to save our world and what we will leave for those who will follow in our sometimes mistaken footsteps towards justice and respect for others who we consider different from ourselves and our basic human values as a society. The clock of the future of mankind is a countdown clock that will either save or destroy the world as we now know it. It is something to think about because it will affect us all eventually.
