HOPE...

To properly answer someone special I met today:

Our future is determined by the values we hold in our lives right now -- and can change from day to day. Yet, the idea of what's to come is only relative to those who speculate upon it. To some the future does not exist because they choose to live in the moment. Others feel the future is a potential for happiness because they have optimism about whats going on in their environment. Some people have a great fear of the future, believing that it is filled with cruelty and death. But, it is in living with fear right now, that we become victims to a violent future. All points of view on what is to come for humanity, can change from person to person.

So what is the Absolute Truth of the future? What will it be like for humanity?

The answer is always in the question....

The future belongs to the Absolute Truth. That their is a Will to survive, existing within all of us.

Although, we may leave this life someday, it is in living that we have given life to others. That the future may be determined by how we live our lives, but a future is ensured because we have given life. And as long as humanity has given life, then, their is always the opportunity to have a good future. This is the opportunity of HOPE.

Pope John Paul II once said, "...A nation that kills it's children is a nation without future..."

Some of us may have the ability to gaze into a future, to see bad things before they happen...
but, by saving life all of us still have the option to make it something good.

You can always have hope, when you still have opportunity.

Today's World

In today's world, most of us are preoccupied with the strife of day in and day out mediocrity. We see the good, we see the evil, and we all feel somewhat afraid and stuck in between that never ending battle that seems to harmonize our everyday. The world is filled with news of great tragedy that seems to race aside with news of wonderful happiness. Yet I digress, the world is not perfect and as it's inhabitors, we are not perfect either.

Still, that is no reason not to feel, not to be overwhelmed with any emotions. We are defined as individuals because we have the capacity among all of God's creations, to have sympathy, compassion, and even anger. But, even though we may be defined by emotions, it's our actions that give us our salvation or our sin. What we do in this life defines who we were before the eons of ancestors who came before us and the eons of descendants we leave behind.

Today realize that your every breath, your every word, your every action, makes your ancestors proud and your children happy. Make sure that no matter what you do today, you did your part to fight tyranny, to fight oppression, to fight for the weak, to be the voice for all those who need a voice. Be someone today who gave a damn, and showed liars and thieves, that they will have to fight to steal and corrupt.

In TODAY'S WORLD there is someone who needs you...
be there and make everyone proud.

The last thing we need to do is rob our past of a future and rob our children of a chance to be happy.
