Sometimes it’s hard to find our way in life. We seek the answers that open the doors to our future.

Yet these, at times, may elude us. And we are left puzzled, with many unanswered . . .

Questions

Today, all parts of our world are interconnected through commerce and   

     technology.

Little of what we own and use has been made in America.

Has only in America become a concept of the past?

Society’s view of marriage and family has changed, and many families  

     struggle to survive.

Violence in our communities monopolizes our print and electronic media.

Can we count on happy endings or do they just exist in dreams, fictional  

     works, and fantasies?

Ads on television and the Internet push legal drugs and sell products that will 

     change our lives, with no proof of these doing so.

Scandals have been exposed in police and fire departments, schools,   

     government, and religious organizations.

These occurrences, often strange but true, cause us to ask, “How can we 

     return to a better time and more tranquil world?”

Everything in life has not become tainted, for beauty exists in the smile of a 

     child, the pride of a graduate, a blushing bride, and a down and out street  

     dweller extended a helping hand.

Such moments warm our hearts and are the reasons in our lives to awake 

     each morning with a passion to face the day.

So put society’s shortcomings aside and focus on the question, “What really 

     should be unforgettable?”
