Today we are faced with many obstacles that threaten our way of dealing with life. When I was a child it wasn't unsafe to play in my neighborhood, or wander away from your mother at the supermarket. Now we are faced with many things that people see as threats. There are terrorist activities along with crimes against fellow humans. It is getting out of hand. Now with the failing economy, the rising number of poor and hungry people in America and many more individuals out of work. Crime will sure to increase exponentially.
Now as I sit and wonder about the future of my children, I am faced with even more fear. How are the political leaders going to get us out of the horrible mess the economy has become. More and more we see on the news that certain officials who are supposed to be doing right by us are actually dealing with corruption and misguided behavior. I wonder who I can trust and where the future is headed.
There are stories about fear of terrorism, crime, drugs and such throughout this chapter that have negatively affected us all immensely. I remember 911 like it was yesterday. The surreal image on the television that looked like a scene out of a Hollywood movie. Only it was something much more terrible. Yet, in the aftermath it was amazing to see the nation stand together in such a time of need. I hope that in the rest of my life I do not get to see that image ever again, nor do my children.
