An insightful post. I think discipline is important, too, but we can be disciplined about really bad ideas as well as good ones. I think a commitment to the truth is essential, and being disciplined about learning and speaking the truth would go a long way. Another thing I think about is the lack of respect for other human beings and for life in general. I’d also like us to be more disciplined about treating all living things with dignity and respect. That would hopefully solve some of the conflict over religion. 😀 Wishing you a lovely 2024, full of peace, dignity, and self-discipline. 🙂

my opinion may not count due to me still being a kid but I think America is NOT living up to the “American Dream”

In reply to Dawn Pisturino. I agree 100% Dawn!! My own daughter studied hard for years, obtained two master's degrees to live her dream of teaching. She lived her dream for 7 years until politics and fear of violence caused her to change profession. I believe as you do that there are guidelines we must live by. As a Christian, I believe the Bible gives us those guidelines. I do not question other faiths, as a brief study confirms that each has similar guidelines. However, radicals in all beliefs may latch on to a single aspect of a faith and use it to promote their own self-serving agenda. Thank you so much for reading and taking time to make such a well thought out comment!! Dennis

It’s my opinion that politics and politicians with an agenda are destroying America. Our education system no longer educates, and morals and ethics are no longer taught to children. It’s not enough to say “Be good and be good to one another!” There have to be concrete guidelines for people to follow.
