To tell you the truth, I'm scared. The name of this blog is "Inspiring Words, Inspiring Lives." But I have no words today. I have nothing left to inspire you. I saw three movies this weekend. All were supposed to be comedies, but I only laughed mildly at one of them. Why do comedies now have to contain all kinds of grossness, disgusting innuendoes, and what's commonly called "potty talk"? Is this what the public now wants? I mean, I've been all over the satellite channels, and so many of these shows seem to contain some element of the gross or some sort of innuendo.
Are we, as a society, losing whatever is good and right? In the middle of these gross comedies I attended, a parent came down the aisle holding the hand of a child who was no more than five years old. At the store the other day, I heard a mother hauling her kids to the car and telling them to shut the F up and get in the effin' car. Is this what is acceptable? These children will grow up with even fewer manners and a totally confused sense of right and wrong than their parents did.
And so, I and others like me, try to call attention to it. We're trying to sound a wake-up call. But nothing seems to happen. If anything, things are getting worse. So today, I have no words. We can continue to try and call attention to the degradation in society, continue to try and model what is true and right, but it all seems like an uphill battle.
What's the answer? What can we do, as individuals, to wake up America? I have no more words. Do you???
