What would you change about modern society? – Now there is a question for someone writing a book instead of a daily prompt.

Wow, the dozens of things just off the top of my head I would change overwhelmed me. Instead of listing all those out, I think I’ll just say we must change our mindset. We have to ask ourselves who we are and get involved in making that happen.

Not counting on others to take care of us. Not counting on a few to make decisions on who will lead all of us. If everyone got involved in voting and paid attention to what they were voting for would be a good first step.

But it’s not just politics/government. It’s what we have become. Technology has given us many wonderful advances. But we haven’t looked at the negative effects as much.

How we treat each other could use some work. The emphasis on wealth and greed could use some balance with compassion and empathy.

Maybe we could start to get to know our neighbors again, or maybe the kid’s teachers and other public servants. And treat everyone with respect. Maybe work towards the truth together instead of making up separate ones.

Oh yeah, maybe we could eliminate WAR.

I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
