Change Will Come And With It – Opportunity?
Opportunity Is Only Opportunity When Seized And Held
Time is a measurement unit of change.
Greek philosopher, Aristotle (384-322 BCE),
“Physics” (Book 4, Chapter 11)
“The ultimate fact is the process of change… Without change, there would be no existence.”
(Whitehead, 1929, “Process and Reality,”).
Why Janus? He was the Roman God of Change. He controlled Beginnings and Endings. His eyes to the past, provide learning, only. We cannot live in nor return to the past. His eyes to the future present us with possibilities. In the middle is decision. Will we direct change so it may benefit all of us and our future generations?
Questions – Does our government meet the hopes and needs of all our citizens? Are we on the right track to the future?
Change Will Occur and WE MUST ADAPT– Existence is change. Adapting is surviving in an ever changing existence.
I like the Desert Snail. The one-footed snail has existed since Pangea. Snails, have been around for at least 500 million years. Snails were thriving on Earth for over 430 million years before the Tyrannosaurus Rex and are still around. Snails are found in the ocean, on beaches, climbing trees and living 3,000 feet above the Mediterranean in the Negev Desert.
In the desert they burrow into the sand about 24 inches and go dormant for a few years. They then survive temperatures up to 130 degrees while waiting for a heavy rain to wake them up. How many species has the snail out-lasted? How did the snail with one foot accomplish this? One step at a time. (Old joke but a goody.)
The snail adapts, changes and evolves to the situation.
Can we learn from the snail?
Or is our nation and society at an evolutionary dead-end?
One step at a time.
My Philosophy – The best form of Government is that which provides the optimum in protections, hopes and benefits for all. When those three issues are met, we will have a stable society.
My Vision – A stable society with a table for all of us. Every voice heard and all are a part of the whole.
My Personal Vision – A nation wherein my grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and yours are not limited by artificial limitations denying their ability to grow into their full selves. A society absent this racial, inflammatory division that only breeds suspicion and fear of their neighbors
My Goal – Reinstate E Pluribus Unum as our National Motto.. Of Many – One. A favorite line from my old FFA Creed, “…less need for charity and more of it when needed.”
My Contribution – Locate, find and present factual evidence to hopefully cool the flames of inflammatory disinformation. I am a damned good researcher, I have 7 following blog pages, each listed here and with links. I want to find answers to any questions or issues or conspiracies that are taking root. I will research each, list my findings, conclusions and source so anyone can vet my findings.
Note – Please be patient and no name calling or insults, unless they are somewhat humorous and creative. I am learning this computer program called Word Press and this is my first time running a blog. Be patient. Thanks- Rex
Disclaimer – I consider myself a Progressive. I dislike labels but they are a handy way to categorize folks. I am not a Liberal, as to me liberal denotes excess. As a Progressive I accept that change is inevitable and the best change is the change that distributes the most benefits to the most people – Also, I find snails very tasty.
