A Chilly Nightmare Comes to an End!

You know I respect people and admire the drive we as humans have when we can come together and achieve what seems to be the impossible. All over the news for the past several days was the Chilean’s working for the good of their people. How could you not have a heart and feel what these people were going through. Surely, these men held underground by Mother Nature’s force by not giving way to their escape caused quite a stir amongst the locals as well as people around the world. In addition, what determination these men have in continuing to survive instead of giving in to what most would have thought their fate has come to and end.

I am simply amazed what people can accomplish when they set their mind to it. One question I laugh at sort of is what experience did these men have as pulling people to survival? Looking at the economy around us and around the globe one has to wonder did they have to be a good fit to obtain the status of pulling their comrades to safety? Were they highly degreed professionals that sat there with shovels and pick-axes to free their loved ones?

Why do we live in such global desperation at putting people back to work? When you see people of other cultures who have so much less than we have achieve the unthinkable, is there not a lesson to be learned? I ponder many thoughts where humanity is driving and in what real direction are they seeking. Even as businessmen look toward profits, they surely can see that if we all pull together they can reap their riches, grow their companies and yet be kind and compassionate enough to do their part in such a global economic meltdown and turn it into something more delightful and at the end of the day everyone can safely end their day being with their love ones in a solemn grace.

Maybe I do live in a dream world hoping and praying for one day when all men will come together for a betterment of humanity and be more helping than wanting. Another thought I can only pray for.
