Hubby and I have struggled with this very thing and came to the conclusion
that until we can live with just those things, we had best pass. WTS, we
are looking forward to being able to live with just those things and should
be well satisfied to be able to. We're not there yet and that is our
problem, readily admitted.
Worse than that, we can't see when that is going to happen and this is a
concern. We have been for so long in the forefront, active
socially/politically etc, we have got to set a time and punt, slow down,
rose smelling, all that. First it was Vietnam, then antiwar, all that,
kids, ok, that's a reasonable excuse, then we took on some gummint work,
well, ok, then, private enterprise, kids now grown up, now, privacy and
civil rights concerns.....this latest is a mother of a project. It's got to
be our last, we've paid and are paying "dues" and it soon will come a time
where we have to say maybe we are the most important and start acting like
it.
I admire people who have been able to come to live within themselves in
peace. |
