Keep it progressive!!

' What is Progress? And what does it mean to be a progressive?'
These are two of the questions that seem to keep floating across my mind. Looking back on history and the many things that have changed over the years, I find myself wondering, Is this what they mean by progress?! Wars, death, murders, and hatred, These have been the ingredients to many a generations downfall, but this is the 21st century so one would assume that we've progressed and moved beyond such vile things. Wrong.
Have we really and truly progressed? Have we really moved beyond the age where men hated you for your skin color, looked down on you because of your sex, and scorned you because you were a little different? I think not. We may not be perfect, but I think man has lost his one saving grace: kindness.
In a time where people mind their own business, and don't see anything when something is happening, how can we even fathom progress?!! No man is an island. Humanity has forgotten the basic instincts of man: that only together can we survive.
With all of the pleasures of technology and the easiness of life, we have grown lazy and selfish and we don't care about the lives of anyone else's but our own.
The only way that we can truly progress is if we accept one another for who we are: imperfect. Learn from one another, we may not always get along or understand one another, but at least we are trying. That's all you can do.
How can I be a progressive in the fight for progress? Well, One day I'll have some children and you know what I will teach them? I will teach them to 'do unto others as they would have others do unto them' , they will learn to love people, value friendship, and to never judge anyone. Progress starts at home!!
