The future is what we make it!
'The anniversary of the World War One armistice - signed 95 years ago - has been marked in the UK with a two-minute silence.
Ceremonies have taken place at military bases, town halls, churches, schools, and at the National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas, Staffordshire.' BBC NEWS
Some years ago it was easier to quote 'The future is what we make it! ' than today. People made decisions for often a greater good and there were less complexities which would sway judgement.
Today we remember those who risked their lives and made a brave decision for the world to be a better place and for us to have a future and for the future generations to come. The soldiers fought for something that was worth fighting for something valuable, life. But now the world has changed and we hear more bad than good. We turn the television on, we see the news and we hear about the dispute going on in Syria, we hear about innocent soldiers who served our country being murdered in order for others voices to be heard. We hear about suicide, stabbings and multiple killings, and it's not often that we hear anything good. The world has become insensitive to humanity.
The economy and government all seem to focus on what is being imported and exported, whether interest rates have decreased or increased, whether a business will strive and whether we will be going to experience another recession or a boom. In this day and age we try to suceed without creating a firm and stable foundation. The soldiers fought and died for our country leaving us with the means to live a firm and stable life.
So what is it that we are fighting for?
