Where are we going?

Having reached the age of 69 years one would think that by now I would have a clearer view and more focused image of where the United States would be at the end of this century; I don't even have a vague idea of where we will be at the end of this decade...confusing and frightful.

I was born during the Second World War and brought up during the "Cold War" with the then existent Soviet Union as a constant threat. I spent 21 years being educated in parochial schools and several years developing skills as an orthopedic surgeon while serving with the Navy during the Viet Nam War. After being discharged I worked alone in a private orthopedic practice...then retired.

I am married to the same wife of 47 years, have six grown children (in their 30s and 40s) and seven grand children.

So now you ask...where is the problem... the problem, at least from my perspective, is that the World seems to be more confused, less focused, less moral, less compassionate and the individual completely self-centered on him/herself. It appears to me that darkness (evil) may have the upper hand over light (truth/goodness/love) at least on an interim basis at this time in our history. It worries me because I don't, with my inner eye, see us taking a direction toward the light.

I know, through faith, that there is a Triune God and He will be victorious over darkness and completely remove it from existence...but when and for how long must the innocent in the World suffer? That is how far I have come on my 69 year journey...and that is confusing and frightful to me.

I am left with the words of the late Blessed Pope John Paul II, "Do not be afraid."

Thanks

"Thank you" to all the veterans alive and dead who have fought for this country from the Revolutionary War to the current Worldwide War on Terror; and thanks to the families of these veterans who gave so much...some gave all.

GET RID OF GOD AND RELIGION

 

The pathway to world domination, serfdom, slavery or whatever name you want to call it is the removal of the knowledge that there is a Creator, and a set of natural and created laws given to us by this higher power (God, Creator, First Mover...etc.). Before you can achieve a completely secular world you must extract from mankind his soul which was imprinted with these certain rights that no one can take away from him...Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness and the greatest gift of all, the ability of man to know this through natural reason and the world around him...or in other words no matter what lies or propaganda he is force fed he will forever know these "GOD" given rights are his, and these are intrinsic to his nature or in other words imprinted within him when he came into "being".

 

I am confident that as the soul lives for eternity so will the principles that are imprinted in it. They will never end and will always triumph; good (truth) will always win over evil (lies).
