This is wordy long, but I feel it fits here. [View all]

A long story, written by a simple man..
I asked myself often thru my 61 years, “ who am I?”
My employer would tell me one thing, my family would tell me one thing, my wife would tell me one thing, my daughter would tell me one thing. And then my friends would tell me one thing, online would tell me one thing. Preacher tells me another thing. They all wanted me to be who they were comfortable with.
Suddenly, I had a bunch of different answers for my one simple question. And almost none of those, answered my question. I realize, the answers only made them feel good. They did not even hear me. But they felt good telling me who I should be to make them comfortable.
When I realized this fact, I changed my attitude,
I took a direct approach, I started giving short, very pointed answers when I spoke to these people. Guess what??? Then the same people, wanted to know why I changed?
I am changed by them, it is the new humanity.
It is “ my answer to a question I never listened to, is the right answer.” time of the world.
The world is condensed to a short, strongly worded answer to a question never heard. Gotta say something that gets hits, hopefully goes viral.

Brings me to MSM and news. Companies deserve to make profit, MSM evolved from Walter Cronkite, Huntley and Brinkley, to CNN,FOX,MSNBC, etc etc. MSM evolved to the answers people, who ignored the question,and told the MSM an answer that made the answer more important than the question.
I have made a couple of those calls also, I was never perfect. Companies now know they have no responsibility to us. Because, no one has to hears the question anymore. The answer is all that matters.
So, I find, I have to answer my own question.

I am just a guy, my wife died. That happens to people everyday.

The best answer to my question, came from a 34 y/o woman who can’t talk, type or walk.

I am just her Dad.

We created our world. If you don’t know the question,, might be best to not give an answer.
