What Is Missing Today?

Are We Better Off Today?

You sit in front of your TV (with more channels than you have time to watch), iPad, PC or your smartphone and you are constantly getting updates from your friends on Facebook or Twitter and the news of the mement flies by at neck breaking speeds that we get too much information to process.

But, are we better off today with all of these sources for information than we had back in the black and white days of TV?  Back then TV was only on at certain times and you got most of your news sometimes hours and days later not instantly. Back then the newspapers carried most of the weight of carring the daily news which was delivered the next day.

I say, No, we are not better off, we just have access to more information in a shorter time frame.  You have heard that saying before “everyone has an opinion”.  Well, there are more opinions on the Cable Networks and TV that you come away shaking your head wondering what really is the Truth these days.

Then we have the subjects of Politics and Religion.  Yep, when discussing Politics and/or Religion you are bound to get more viseraole reaction than on any other subject or subjects especially if you lump them into the same discussion.

So what is missing today? We are missing the fact that we all are humans and how we feel on any particular issue should not cause us to hate another person or group just because they differ in their beliefs. We need more understanding and Love for our fellow inhabitants of Earth.
