Where are we all heading?

I have very few gripes to tell you about But one major one is people who concentrate On what's wrong with the world Instead of concentrating on all the good things That have come our way in the past decades We take things for granted after a short while And forget what it was like before Where is it all heading? Back in the middle of the 20th century We could only guess at what lay ahead Not an inkling as to the progress The many gadgets that make life so much easier More connected like never before And yet this is only a period in time With more gadgets that are available to us Our minds boggle at human ingenuity Last century was an explosion of new ideas Never imagined possible before These are the wonder years We can only imagine what lies ahead

I agree with you, Jack. Why focus on negativity???! I'm grateful for your words, for they gave me pause to reflect upon on the wonderous, ingenious things that abound in today's world. We know not where they will lead; my hope is that they evolve into things good for mankind. Thanks for sharing & have a great day, hugs, Sara
