With the US election indicating a change is coming, I am breathing a sigh of relief. The past four years of chaotic leadership coming out of that country has caused a lot of damage that is going to take years, if not decades, to repair.
Sometimes when we are getting something we want, we don’t take the time to consider the consequences. When a government is supposed to represent 100% of its citizens, there has to be more leadership coming from them beyond stimulating the economy. Continuous growth is not possible. Our resources are finite and at some point even the wealthy will come to realize they cannot eat their cash.
I am hopeful that stable leadership will reverse the ‘me first’ attitude that prevails in our society. There is more that brings us together than divides us. We need to recognize that we’re stronger and better off together than apart.
“We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community... Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.” — Caesar Chavez (1927 - 1993)
