Conveniences

The definition of convenience is

state of being able to proceed with something with little effort or difficulty.

People like convenience. We like things delivered to us like pizza and stuff from Amazon. Getting out to do something can be a hassle and in our modern lives we want things brought to us. It used to be people would get out and do things in community. The grocery store is one place that everyone has to go to because we gotta eat. We have seen a shift how we are being catered to for maximum convenience. One question can be asked has convenience led to laziness? I can say I like the conveniences brought to us by technology. I don’t have to use actual handwriting much because of the keyboard and for me that is a convenience because I hate hand writing anything.

People are likely to give if it means their donation can be picked up close to home. Companies spend billions on figuring out how to bringing goods and services to individuals but that has cost some folks their jobs because their brick and mortar store has been closed due to competition and changes in the marketplace. So has our desire for convenience been good for us or is it just making us more isolated and dependent on the labor of others? These are some questions we need to answer, just when its convenient for us. Excuse me, I am going to go order something online.

The Promise

I kind of believe in being high minded and idealistic. We as a nation need to have something to unify us no matter our race, religion, orientation or gender. If we are to be a great nation we need to love one another and respect each other no matter our differences. Lets resolve to do our best for one another and to fulfill the promise of a new day. It is time to be better to bring our hearts and minds together to achieve great things. Our promise should be to one another and to dream something bigger than ourselves. What that is I am not sure but perhaps it can start with a conversation, imagination and most importantly inclusion.

Global Followers

I appreciate all my fellow bloggers who are following me here from around the globe. One thing I love about this thing called blogging is how we can be connected in a very unique way. We can discover more about ourselves by seeing the lives of people from different places from Australia to Zimbabwe and inbetween. My world view has been expanded by some great bloggers who have shown me the places they call home and in their communities. I wish you peace and grace my friends from far away. I hope and pray for peace and that we will have the freedom to keep on blogging no matter where we are.

Identity

Ones identity is a highly personal thing. We make up our identity as we go along by the experiences we have. It changes us, informs us and perhaps colors our view of ourselves and others. Assuming an identity means changing who you are. Perhaps we should understand ourselves before attempting to understand others. Just saying.
