Genuine

So… something has been bothering me since I returned from my wonderful trip.

Why aren’t people genuinely happy for each other anymore? Why is there so much jealousy and competition? Unfortunately, that ugly green monster shows his face too often these days. I would like to go back to the old days when writing letters was the only way to communicate long distances, when friends were as loyal as hunting dogs, and when a relationship with God was the most important thing. Love God. Love People. My church encourages us. Maybe if I continue to pass this message of love along, I may receive it back. Every generation is self-centered… I think what I imagined was a scene from the movies. It is disappointing discovering that real kindness, generosity, and joy just isn’t the norm. Well, it’s my norm.
