Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
Theodore Roosevelt

I have Ben in council with several groups and our topic has been the poor state of personal affairs of the people here in the U S and the world. I for one have seen a different world before and during the second world war. People were much more apt to make sure the neighbors had what was necessary and no-one was without. We made scarfs for the needy in town.We talked to our neighbors and made sure they knew we were there for them, for chat a shoulder to cry on and just a place to come and sit for some small talk. Life was better than ever since. Yes we have more gadgets and we have more distance coverage by what we play with. What we don't have is a fair understanding of our neighbors nor any type of hold on the pulse of or neighborhood. We don't try to get a hold. Why, maybe it is because we are afraid ...a fear made real by the newspaper, radio news, t.v.news and just constant reports of home to lock ourselves in our own homes.

I am not sure if any or all of this makes sense to you by it does to me.
