I don't know what I would say. At first I was quick to assume position of a leader figure in my head, pointing out all of the things they are doing wrong. But after thinking about it, I realize that isn't my place. Who I am to tell the world what they need to work on? Sure, sometimes it's beneficial to hear criticism but that's what the world hears every single day! Think about it-America. We have a lot to fix. But we already know this! Okay just look at this list. This is from today's CNN top stories:
Energy and economy, a balancing act for Obama
Economy shrinks 3.8%
Brown: Not the time for Wall Street bonuses
Exxon posts annual profit record
Haggard explains his sexual preference
Octuplets: mom has six other children
14 hospitalized in carbon monoxide leak
Obama girl look-alike model in spotlight
Can you eat well for under $10?
Pole dancer spice up school program
Disgraced pastor admits second relationship with man
How bacteria can help you lose weight
Stuff white people like
Okay. So what that translates to is this: Economy sucks, no one has any money; to save money, we are eating more and more fast food whose prices and dropping; because we are eating so much fast food, there is a "how to do the ____ diet" everywhere you look; we need to take care of what we own whether we have money or not; population is growing, despite it all; sexual immorality is no longer immoral; and we are still very black vs. white.
But, the world already knows all of this. It's in the headlines! They just need to do the math. No, we don't need another someone to tell us how cruddy we are living our lives. We need someone to tell us it's okay. Show us what we are doing right.
So.
If the whole world were listening,
What would you say?
Good men and women of the world, carry on and have faith that your actions are changing the world for the better.
