You know what I've been thinking? That our Society has a problem dwelling on the past. We have such a hard time moving on and I think it is hurting us because we keep reminding ourselves of some terrible event or some trend that used to be cool. We are no longer creative but rather dull. We are no longer inventive but innovative. Ideas are taken and stolen rather than thought up and birthed. In the business world one idea stems others to copy and own a marketing strategy rather than think up thier own creative way of selling their product. General Motors wanted to please their customers by giving them "the employee discount" on any new automobile purchased. One week later all the other leading manufacturers adopted the same "employee discount" in hopes of winning the cusotmers. Now The Brick is offering the same discount. Do you see some kind of trend?
Hollywood can't seem to shake the idea that nostalgia is were it's at in motion pictures.
All the hip and trendy clothes that made fashion a statement in the 60's and 70's are now making a come back.
George Santayana, a Spanish-born American author of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century once wrote "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". I find this a little scary because there are tons of historical down sets are now back and haunting us once again. Things like the oil shortage crisis back in the 1970's, what happened then is now back taking it's toll on those us who were not around then. But what I find the most discouraging are more worse things like world wars, and other historical tragedies. Must we go through this again and again? Is there any way to avoid it. History says No! Although I'm thankful for my life and all that it has to offer I am discouraged about my surrounding and crumbling society.
To be frankly honest we all have become pigs wallowing in our own mess. WE are to blame. There no one else. Will things ever get easier? It may for a while until we forget again. Then we will only be condemned to go through it once more. When will we learn--will we ever? What kind of world will our young ones grow up in? The same world we did just as we are living out the world as our parents and grandparents once lived.

"Generations come and go, but nothing really changes...History merely repeats itself. It has all be done before. Nothing under the Sun is truely new"
Ecclesiastes 1: 4, 9

As Christians we have only one thing to truely remeber " [all] this pleasure is from the hand of God" (Ecc 2:24)
