Most days I get out of bed feeling that I am lucky. I am lucky I was born in the West. I am lucky I live in the age of the internet and instant, online communication. I am lucky I belong to a generation that has seen all this happen and really thinks nothing is impossible.
I get up and start the day and I feel lucky I am alive, now, lucky to be here, lucky to just ... be.
And then there's the flip side which tells me that with each advance and each step forward we slide back, slipping towards an age when ignorance was the norm, when everything we did and everything we tried was part of a knee-jerk reaction driven by mistrust and fear.
We are becoming increasingly insular, increasingly reliant on those we elect to protect us who then do it through the implementation of means which increase the sense of injustice and fear and make a whole lot of other people feel less than lucky when they start their day.
We, have the power to make, or break our world.
We do!!!!
