Tough Times

Wow its been a minute yall, but one thing that I've kept a close I on is the out of control issue of unemployment.....yes people are basically losing jobs to the tune of almost 3100 a day in the month of September, no joke you got it 96,000 jobs lost last month. As I thought about these most unfourtunate happens in our nation I can now see why the level of crime is up around the nation and not just in the "urban" parts of the U.S. Both men and woman from all walks of life and all types of educational backrounds have had their backs push right to the wall regarding the unemployment plague. In addition to the rapid rate of unemployment citizens are also losing their homes just as fast, homes where these people are raising families....it sometimes brings tears to my eyes to know that your next door neighbors home just went into foreclosure or their being evicted because both parents are struggling to begin with and now they to have lost their jobs. Ask yourself what would you do if you were in that situation and then maybe your feelings and outlook would hopefully change. Peace.

Define It ?

What is happiness, define it ? is it measured by how much money one makes, is it determined by where you live or what you drive ? Im curious. In my opinion life's happiness should simply be determined by how fulfilling your career is or how many people benefit from your contributions to society. Many people will and have disagreed with me regarding what is happiness. In society there is and added pressure put on people to look a certain way, act a certain way and make a certain amount of money in order to be accepted by their own peers......should it be ? Bottom line you gotta find happiness within yourself and not in the materialistic items that tend to ruin the everyday man or woman who just wants nothing more than to be happy. Im out until next time so be positive, stay motivated and remember to hug someone uplift someone everyday.
