An Urgent Call to Rescue the Ship of America, huge and luxury

Lately, more and more people outcry on how to maintain and restore the America' glory by finger-pointing crossfire but missing the points and targets on what we Americans should do.

Do they really mean it? Unfortunately, the light to restore energy and ability for this urgent call for national rescue has failed to loom?

Now, Americans, can we take on this national rescue mission to restore America's glory? Yes, we can but only if we are willing to face reality, certainty, and uncertainty of life. But it requires invoking honesty and courage, and let us roll up sleeves and find them.

The quality and quantity of need foment people's sense of urgency to act. But current US social atmosphere full of political correctness and commercialism, day in and day out, delivers only what people like, love, and want to hear political correctness, not what people need to hear. As a result of such social bombardment, the truth and facts of life are distorted and clouded, most of people cannot get in touch with the reality of life, and in the end what people feel and act just reacting to news-serving excitement and missing the points and targets.

So most people live inside an invisible house of fantasy, which is so far from reality to pursue survival, growth, and continuation, and political correctness continues to trance most people.

For decades, we have heard politicians and activists shout every single day on how to assert rights in a right-right, right-left, right-up, right-down, right-north, right-south, right-east, and right-west manner to constantly inject the social toxin of political correctness to please their constituents so to earn likable reputation of cost-free kindness and generosity for re-election at the expense of tax-payers.

And how often have we ever heard someone talk about how to fulfill obligations?

Common sense tells us that asserting rights means to take away something from somewhere; then who would have put something at somewhere to allow someone to take away something at need?

Nothing is free. So do we need Nobel laureates, rocket scientists, and renown economists to tell us what to do?

Now, we are in trouble because we have failed to reciprocate right assertion and obligation fulfillment, resulting in stagnating the huge luxury Ship of America, known to all, which requires a lot of money maintain its luxury and a deep social water to float and navigate its waterway of freedom.

What's the solution? Simple and clear.

We need not only to realize and accept truth and facts of life but to balance the reality and expectation by more fulfilling obligations and less asserting rights so the depth of our needed social water can rise to float and navigate the Huge Luxurious Ship of America and the resource may restore to maintain its luxury. So we may have the best possible hope to continue enjoying a comfortable ride on the luxurious huge Ship of American.

Otherwise, the Ship of America will continue to sink with no return. Griping doesn't work and no one can and will help us, but ourselves, the American citizens, to resurrect our government to the stage of  the people by the people for the people to deliver the truth and transparency, not the one of partisan elites by partisan elites for partisan elites to deliver the slogan of political correctness and lip service.
