Say not thou,
What is the cause that the former days were better than these?
For thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this.
Ecclesiastes 7:10
Its been a year where the distinctions between Villians and Heroes have blurred even more. Such are the times to which I now bear witness.
My daughter's classmates enjoy the Twilight Saga series. [ Yes, the one where Vampires are Heroes.] The books have been a huge success and have now spawned graphic films.
An acquaintance of mine publicly supported Anna Hazare during his hunger rally, then a week later vilified him.
Popular film and television media show the Main-Man saying "that’s my shit" to mean "those are my possessions".
Multi-Platinum Hip hop artists and role models for youth call their wives / girlfriends "my bitch" or "my hoe" [whore].
I could go on, but I think you know what I'm talking about.
So for us as a family its time to re-group and huddle, re-emphasize, clarify and re-commit to our values. These are strange times, so be on the watch and guard your minds.
I wish you all a coming New Year 2012 filled with love and joy.
