Changes in time and place

Too many changes are taking place. They talk about bringing people in, but their actions prove otherwise. Who are these faceless people? They are those that talk of synergy and complacency: yet they don't practice themselves. All around the changes, none of them good, are happening. Are we all to be sucked in and not rally against the compacting of lives?

I often wonder what those who are in charge are thinking. They don't seem to care what's happening below them. They arbitrarily decide to radically change everything without any thought to what those changes will do. Yet, if they did take the time...maybe they would realize the impression they are creating...an impression that leaves me sick to my stomach. There seems to be nothing I can do about these changes. I can buck all I want, but it won't do any good. All I am left with is a sense of loss.

Did they expect everyone to fall in step and rally around them? Oh, Lord...I can't do that. I see too clearly what the next steps are down that slippery slope. I don't want to go there. I can't go there.
