I remain optimistic, but increasingly concerned. The rule of law has always been under assault by the whims of the power hungry and the irrational. Freedom in all forms is their enemy. That said, our liberty is in an increasingly precarious state of deterioration and citizens seem more apathetic towards it than ever. Like many of us in the gulch, I pursue my happiness and strive to achieve my potential in a world that is aggressive toward effort and excellence. I would like the ideas of anyone who cares to comment as to what is the best course of action regarding the following;
How does one best "create" the world in which they want to live when surrounded by the functionally illiterate of today? I love people. I don't want to see them live their lives in desperation if I can help them rise. But how? It's not an altruistic desire, but a self interested one. I desire to live among thinkers, and achievers and not just "existers". I desire tosee growth in those around me and be an instrument of that development. I find it difficult to know where and how is the best course.
Thank you for your thoughts
