SASSY ATTITUDE Even during our best of good times we are a nation of individuals who carry a chip of a sort on our shoulder and dare any scoffers to try to knock it off.
It is an attitude we seem to have a which is built in at birth. I know must disturb some people who may be without in as an inherited trait. Look back, if you will, and see how the concept is a basic platform on which we build. It has been called by some: ”the Power of Positive Thinking” and that's true but somewhat limited.
Deep down, most of us feel that “things are going to get better.” That pattern often
falls apart - especially during an election time – when we construct all sorts of false, temporary models of what “good” is expected by someone else's ideas and plans rather than by our own, heartfelt desires. People get what they want because they work for it.
You ,right now, have no idea concerning the identity of the men and women who dominate the lives of future citizens. Often, judging by our past, the best among them will likely prove to be stubborn; a bit selfish and self-centered at times, disagreeing with you in many ways.
Daniel Boone, a guide in the wilderness of an expanding press of people, never admitted to being. He did, however, freely admitted to having been a bit confused for as much as three or four days at a time. We read so often, case after case, in which valuable adjuncts or list of drugs, fine foods, money and time-saving products. Numerous leaders have insisted our nation remain always one and forever free I can readily understand how so many citizens turned against Abraham Lincoln and, in my time, F.D.R. It is easy to see now why people took their actions so much to hear and deemed them to be too revolutionary and erratic.
It may well prove to be that this national trait - a tendency to think we can always be right on everything as caused to too suffer woes we might have avoided had we been ,”easier to get along with” Too many other nations see it aggressiveness. Here at home we have educated several generation of young talent to seek to haven in academia even while world industry calls urgently for strong, confident individuals to take active, worthy roles in today's drama of real life.
