Hoorah, it's started

It’s done. I wrote “THINGS OF CONCERN”, what I call a dissertation relating to the state of the world and the state of mind.

You might be thinking “so what”? Well, just take a look at the momentous issues existing within life as we know it today- look at the threats all around us, look at life’s imperfections. The book is my offer of response to a “so what?” inclination.

Life’s imperfections? More than just not perfect, I think some things are so dysfunctional they are anti-life. They are part of the realities of our living, breathing existence. Hey, I am not knocking the beauty, boundless opportunity, and pleasures we derive from our world; it’s that good things need nurturing and tending, and we need to insure that threatening forces do not destroy our opportunities for happiness.

I think that “right” communication is one of the key aspects to resolution, and I would love to see us all equipped with the ability to speak, to listen, to think, and to respond positively. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen- our skills are not always positive.
Here’s a summary offered by one of the several publishers who looked at the manuscript:

“This cogent manuscript presents opinions and in-depth analysis of contemporary relevant topics. It considers impacts and inter-relations of issues of terrorism, war, retribution and restitution, economics, intolerance, education, morality, and …much, much, more. It discusses world perception of America and America’s recent actions.

The author offers thought-provoking suggestions for resolutions, urging acknowledgement of issues and consideration of the impacts of consequent actions.

The text is a call for response, for recognition of the golden rule, and stepping up to responsibility. Throughout, the concept of property wends it way through the issues, showing that any affront on property is theft of your personnel worth, and that only your own personal giving is a valid action.

The author sees America and the world in a similar light: the need for common recognition that what you personally create is the only thing you can offer, and that the purpose of your government is to protect that one inalienable right to your own property. Only through suitable education will this message resonate to world citizenry, because too often awareness is not raised above bare subsistence, leaving a mind-set of “give-me” rather than the loftier perspective of offering effort and receiving just worth as a contractual fulfillment.”
