Manistique Lighthouse: The meaning of change.

 Over the past few years I have seen things that sadden me as to how they function and operate. They are inherently immoral and in many ways supported in inappropriate ways. Lighthouses represent to me change. I'm changing as a person because there are just some things are that are not justified and they indicate a bigger issue that we need to solve as a society. Thr change is a good thing i think. Those who support certain behaviors because they do not understand the greater value of human life and the purpose of our institutions should be somewhat ashamed. They are not and there are some of us who recognize this inability to fix the issues.

We must find a better way. We need no second class citizens in our society (From a sociological level we do have them and most societies do. We should be more universal in our values and approaches.).  I can accept that wrong is the lay of the land sometimes (beyond just a mistake or two) but I do have concerns over how those weaker values impact other things if they spread. I suppose they also impact the next generation and our society as a whole. As far as I'm concerned, the lessons learned here are invaluable to the issues we need to tackle at some point. The problem is that they are not typically popular issues until we look at the long term consequences of what most people would sort of cringe at right away. 

With good peace and good karma we stick that in the bank of lessons learned and move on.
