How did we get to this point of constant overindulgence? We have gone from large to x-large to xx-large to fuck it let’s just SUPER SIZE IT! We never seem to have enough. Our global economies are crumbling. We blame the financial institutions, the government but never the role we played in this debacle. Did the banks tell us to use all of our available credit? Did the bank tell us to buy that car or house we couldn’t afford? Did the government tell us to live beyond our financial means?

Just because credit is extended it is up to us to know our limitations. No one forced you to use it all. The choice was and still ours to make.

Our ancestors contributed to the growth of our world not for us to overindulge but to make our lives easier. Their goal was to bring us comfort so that we didn’t have to work ourselves from the cradle to the grave. The age of retirement increases like the national debt! Look what we have done to ourselves, our indulgences has lead to our inability to control our greed.

When you saw an overweight person it was once associated with genetics or a medical condition. Increasingly it’s now the result of what and how much we eat.

Relationships were once one-to-one now it’s one-to-many. You can barely handle one but what the hell let’s just throw in a couple of side pieces, much like ordering a bucket of chicken… ‘can I get a mixture of mild and spicy, yes I want legs, wings, thighs oh don’t forget the  breasts like you did the last time.’… lol

Let’s not ignore the spread of sexual diseases.  Over indulgence with multiple partners, under utilization of condoms and other birth control methods. Increasing deaths by AIDS,   increasing abortions, increasing infertility, increasing children having children, increasing dependency on the welfare system, increasing taxes to support our increasing (often immoral)  indulgences.

WE need to accept OUR part in the state of these affairs. No one is exempted. We overindulged in that which is not truly a necessity for our existence…the wants.  We under indulge in…the needs.

We need to be honest; faithful; community minded; pay attention to our family; raise our children as a village; stop allowing the media to represent us as immoral and uneducated; remember the sacrifices of our ancestors; and the list goes on…

“Your body is your temple, your values are your foundation.

They must be aligned to create a solid path for your family… our collective futures.”

BT Express comes to mind on this one, “People know just what they’d like to do, whatever it is, you’ve got it, long as it pleases you. Make it last as long as you can, when you’re through it’s up to you to try it again. Come on and do it, do it, do it til’ you’re satisfied. Whatever it is, do it …”

WOW, who knew we would live these lyrics to the fullest and then some! Where is your point of satisfaction?
