Lucy and I were out walking this morning and a thought entered my mind. Has there ever been an age of peace? I mean we’ve had the Bronze Age, Stone Age, etc. so have we ever had the Peace Age. The answer so far I can see is no. so it would seem that the wars that are going on now are more or less normal everyday stuff for the human race. Not a great look for a world that likes to think of the future. This was something that helped bring forward the Hippy movement a movement that I’m happy to say I’m still a follower of. It amazes me after reading all the history we were required to in school that the human race is still standing. If you are a believer of the Bible you can see we have reached the point of no return. Do you believe that or are you more of an optimist? People tell me I’m a pessimist. I like to think of myself more as a realist. That means I think that if change we will survive but if we keep going in the direction we are going without significant change the human race won’t be here in 10 years. Humans have a problem when it comes to choosing leadership. We seem to always look for the perfect choice but can never reach a consensus on what that perfect choice is. I don’t have to go into great detail about our choices history will explain better than me. Do I think there will come a time when we all get along maybe, but not in my lifetime. It’s going to take something great and special to bring mankind together permanently. As of now, I don’t believe it can happen. Now I guess my friends are going to say see he is a pessimist.
