We are missing the big picture

Watch your kids - and their kids

They don't care about race or religion or party or much else.  They are respecting the individual person.  This is a big step in civilization.  Really.  Don't miss this one.

Why do young folks not care about homosexuality?  Why don't some of em care about earning big incomes?  Why will religions become less forceful in the world but be more important?  We are growing up as a world civilization. 

We are experiencing a shift that will make the industrial revolution look tiny.  We are becoming one world.  This will not be easy and there will  be horrible consequences for many.  I'm not saying this will be pretty.  I am saying this will be a very different world in 100 years - a better world.

I can say this because I see our children.  They take our progress in this world and will fix our mistakes, make their own mistakes, and carry on beautifully.

My son told me about a computer gaming competition between South Korea and China tonight.  The two teams will compete and be watched worldwide on the Internet and some cable channels.  I pray that this will be the only form of aggression and nationalism we see in the future as sports replaces war.  It is interesting that some of the players on the Chinese team are Korean.

Watch for these shifts of civilization as they happen.  People sending aid to other people in far flung parts that have a disaster. Teams of people with common interests - like curing cancer, or ebola, working together for the common good. 

Watch for boundaries being torn down and made less important.  These are signs of advancing our civilization.  Go for it!
