Reader Introduction/ Preface to Letters Home

Information to the reader. Letters Home is a "fictional" work (real letters- names changed) based on today's Society- today's reality. It focuses on relationships, mostly dealing with separation-both physical as well as ideological. Focus is also centered around overcoming many of today's more than common problems. There is an emphasis on the need for men, specifically but not exclusively, to find their identity as individuals, not to become what they are offered by way of the examples from the media by way of sit-coms, movies, musicians, entertainers, etc... Many are sharing the same mannerisms and experimenting with the Ego-suits of their less than intelligent so-called peers. Everyone is trying to be like Mike, if not like the Dice-man.
As a man in the world, especially here in the United States, it's plain to see the self-centered attitudes and how they cultivate sub-standard lifestyles in children, not to mention in our struggling communities. Children are offered less than acceptable examples and develop life skills fit for wannabe street trash. Men/people today do not think freely. They have few to no ideas of their own. They have nothing tangible to converse about. They have nothing to offer that provokes thought, and are incapable of reciprocating in a manner that has any depth at all. Women are frustrated because there are no real Cowboys anymore- the CAN-DO inventiveness that made people like the Harley Davidson boys, for instance, able to build a motorcycle from the dirt in a forty-eight square foot chicken coop. People, especially men, are engrossed with their selfish occupations and indulgences that take away from communities and families largely, if not totally. They have no survival skills beyond the street life. They have no resourcefulness. They are helpless.
Where are the Inventors? Where are the Pioneers? Where are the real Heroes? Have we underachieved so grossly that a person is labeled a Hero these days for simply fulfilling his job description? It's time to grow.
Do you think that beings from other worlds would actually present themselves to us while we are fighting and killing each other over simple differences? It's time to stop the hating and start the Loving. It's time to face the real message of the Bible as a planet and do the two simple things it is telling us: Do good and Love one another. That's it. No matter what religion are race or country you're from the message is the same. Do good things and Love each other while you have the gift of life to do so.
Something to consider.
