What We Really Should Be Talking About

Blogs exist so we can inflate ourselves and our 'accomplishments' and thoughts. Everyday or at those moments when the little red marble falls into a hole and we get an idea to write about something we think the world is waiting is to hear we spew across these screens hoping that someone hears our silent screams for attention in order to justify our own importance.

What we really should be discussing is not ourselves but those who have sacrificed for us in order for us to have this and many other self-indulgences.

This Memorial Day and everyday thereafter thank those who saw action, involuntary as well as voluntarily. Remember those who fought, who were injured and died for us.

Everyday should be a Memorial Day.

Memorial Day

All I can say is please remember. Please remember those who have died, who were altered both physically and psychologically so we can whine and complain about others shortcomings and our own perceived slights. Remember those whose duty dwarfs our importance. Please remember those who truly saw evil, and stared it down and confronted it. Always remember and at least tell those veterans you meet or see on the street, 'thank you'.
