When do we get our Day in the Sun?

I heard a radio commercial today that really pissed me off.

“If you’re like most Americans, it’s a struggle to make ends meet…”

What?

I know it’s a common theme, and true enough, but for some reason this one line really got me thinking…

After 8,000 years of recorded history, the wealthiest nation in the world has enough struggling citizens to justify nearly every other commercial we see and hear directed at refinance, or cutting back, or making ends meet, or suing someone for a big cash settlement. Is this absurdity really what we’re working towards?

After all this time, and all the different systems of government that have been experimented with throughout the centuries, how can it be that the wealthiest nation the world has ever known is concerned with making ends meet?

In the back of our minds, subconsciously, don’t we all have this little hope that one day everything is going to be alright, and we’ll all finally have our day in the sun?

Shouldn’t we have this all worked out by now? Since the dawn of humanity, for Christ’s sake…WHAT THE HELL ARE WE STRIVING FOR if not to make the world a better place for all, including for our children?

Do you see what I’m getting at? In every industry, throughout every discipline, the consistent theme is to make life better. Yet we’re still stuck on a planet where 2% of the people own 98% of the wealth and people are starving all across the globe.

WHY? Somebody tell me WHY?
