This
is the first of many columns I intend to write. The focus is
not important. Sometimes it may be a rant, and others an excessive
bit of rambling. Although today I would like to give my opinion
on accountability.
It
seems to me that in todays' society no one is accountable for
their actions. It starts at an early age, "Oh she's so
cute when she does that.", "That wasn't his fault,
he's only two." That would probably be okay, but it seldom
stops there. Now when children go to school they have short
attention span disorder, and need to be on Ritalin or some other
type of drug. Is this the first generation to ever have this
type of disorder? What about the generations before? I know
they were told to suck it up. Honestly everybody's mind wanders
now and again. Isn't it about self-discipline and being able
to focus on your primary objective, and maybe inflicting a little
common sense? Or is it about huge pharmaceutical companies making
another billion?
Now as they get older the excuses change. "Well his parents
are alcoholics, you know?", or "It's not his fault,
he was raised in a single parent home.", "I was sexually
abused as a young child.". Don't get me wrong these are all-real,
but can this young person, or any person, not take control of
his or her own life? Now I may be out of line here but I believe
everyone, and I do mean everyone, is responsible for his or her
own actions! I don't care if your mommy didn't show you enough
love, Or maybe your daddy didn't buy you that pony. You're sure
that the pony would have changed your life. Well I'm here to tell
ya BULLSHIT! Get over it and get on with your life!
In the words of a great ranter, Dennis Miller. That's just what
I think, I could be wrong.
