If you're happy and you know it clap your hands.....(I repeat) If you're happy and you know it clap your hands. Silence. I don't hear many people clapping and it's because America is not happy. We are not happy. The American dream is a joke and this is the propaganda we were raised on. School. College. Marriage. Kids. House with white picket fence. Who says this is how to live a life?
Americans work. work. work and now in most homes, both parents work, which leaves others to raise your children. To make matters worse, it is extremely stressful getting your children to daycare, preschool, etc AND go to work on time... hoping you get out early enough to see your child before he's in bed. Most parents don't even see their children.... it's a sad way to live. Companies DO NOT offer enough vacation time and the floating holidays are far and few between.
I really believe something needs to be done, but have no idea where to start. "A vacation initiative" if you will. I propose, as part of a company's benefits, they offer 4 weeks vacation a year and the employee may use any which way, in addition more floating holidays. American's need to spend MORE time at home and MORE time playing and MORE time with their children.
I wonder why so many people (and parents) are miserable as they get older. I know... all work and no play makes Jack A CRAZY, ANGRY PERSON!
This is very similar to my last post, but as you can see, I am not happy. I am not clapping my hands.
