FORGIVENESS IS THE WAY Today, more than ever before, certain slogans, catch phrases, etc. are being bantered about so loosely that people accept them easily without really contemplating what each means. The catch phrase," DO YOUR OWN THING" is based upon an assumption that it's perfectly right to do so, as long as doing your own thing doesn't hurt others. Today this is widely accepted. However in the act of doing your own thing, a question must be answered. Does doing your own thing hurt yourself? If the answer is yes, then clearly this would be an example of why society is in chaos and in disarray. This example illustrates the mentality that has resulted when a society is lost, doesn't have meaningful goals and is wandering from one quick fix saying to another. The divorce rate is high; child abuse, alcoholism, and drug addiction continue to plague the country. The most alarming fact is that the family unit has disintegrated into a web of television personalities, with unrealistic desires, and falsely promulgated ambitions. Every day I meet people that remind me of television personalities. Instead of living, or developing their own individual personalities and lives, they mimic some television character that exudes zany happiness. Further the desires for goods and services are implanted so deeply within some people's minds, that it dominates their whole lives. Finally another problem is falsely promulgated ambitions, since men have put down the ladies, well it's the ladies turn to wipe their feet on such foul creatures, so they work their way to the top without family, husbands or friends, just penthouse apartments to keep them warm. With these types of personalities, desires, and ambitions no wonder nothing makes sense and few are able to live meaningful lives. All of the above trends are heightened within, the broken home where little structure is maintained so to fantasize and grab on to suggestions by others is a preoccupation. This book has one primary goal in mind, which is to establish a perspective. One that does not interfere or replace anyone's religion, but instead helps the reader to establish an insight into his relationship with the world, while holding himself responsible for his own life. This booklet tries to portray man's true importance and relationship to the world.
