Senior Citizens
Senior citizens in the United States are constantly being criticized
and blamed for
practically every conceivable
deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary.
Every individual
should take full responsibility and not falsely accuse others for
personal mistakes. Upon
reflection, however, senior citizens point out that it was
not them who took the:
* melody out of music
* pride out of appearance
* romance out of love
* commitment out of marriage
* responsibility out of parenthood
* togetherness out of the family
* learning out of education
* service out of patriotism
* religion out of school
* Golden Rule from rulers and leaders
* nativity scene out of cities
* civility out of behavior
* refinement out of language
* dedication out of employment
* prudence out of spending
* high ambition out of achievement
* patience and tolerance out of personal
relationships
and interactions with
others
* love and firm belief when singing the
Star Spangled Banner
Remember -- Inside most U.S. citizens at the age 50 or
older remains the flickering
spirit of a younger person wondering what happened to their world!
