Shhhh… Listen! What Does The World Need Now??

JusMee

 

What does the world need now? According to the classic song by The Isley Brothers, the answer is love.

But I think we could all use a little peace and harmony too. Maybe what the world really needs now is respect.

Respect for each other, our planet, and respect for all of life. What do you think? Can we make that happen? Let’s work together to create a more peaceful and harmonious world! 🙂

But do you think the world needs more of these things? I’m not so sure. We need something a little different. Something a little edgier. Something a little more… controversial. 

What the world needs now is violence! Yup, that’s right, violence! Think about it for a second. If everyone got into a big ol’ fistfight every day, how much more peaceful would the world be? 

We wouldn’t have to worry about getting along because we’d all be too damn tired from fighting! OK, maybe this isn’t a good idea!

There is too much violence already in the world!

From another point of view, some people feel what the world needs now is more peace, love, and harmony. We can all agree on that. But what happens after that? 

What do we need next? More respect for one another? Cooperation? Kindness? A sense of community? I think we can all agree on those things too. 

So let’s stop with the introspection and get to work making the world a better place! Let’s show the world what it means to be a community where respect and kindness thrive!

 Let’s make some noise and let the world know that we are sick and tired of all of the bullshit going down around us. 

Wait for a second and listen up. I think I have something new to add to the mix: Shhhh, SHUSHING! 

If we can all learn to silence each other, the world will instantly become more peaceful. 

Just try it out and see for yourself; next time someone is speaking loudly in public or carrying on a fight with their partner, give them the Shusher and watch them transform into a well-behaved member of society. 

Who knew peace could be so simple? Try it out today, and let me know how you go! I know, I know. Peace, love, harmony, and respect aren’t working; they never have and possibly never will.

So…what does the world REALLY need right now is ____________?

Yes, you heard me. It’s up to us to fill in the blank! So what do you think the world needs now? Some to read

Let’s get creative and see if we can come up with something good! 

Conclusion: 

The world needs more of _____. What do you think? Let’s get creative and see if we can come up with something good! I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below – let’s chat!

US Military Nurse and Soldier in Hitler Army

JusMee

Military Nurse–In searching for real-life stories to write about, I came across this real and profoundly moving story of forbidden love during World War II and the shocking, hidden history of race on the home front.

“Elinor Powell was an African American nurse in the U.S. military during World War II; Frederick Albert was a soldier in Hitler’s Army, captured by the Allies, and shipped to a prisoner-of-war camp “in Arizona. 1

What’s  more, with a large number of American men away in battle, under the Geneva Convention, the P.O.W. detainees of war could work.

As a result, Frederick Albert worked in the kitchen at the camp in Arizona, meanwhile,  Elinor Elizabeth Powell was an African-American military nurse.
Later, their paths would cross in Arizona in 1944.
After completing training at Fort Huachuca, Ariz., she was sent, along with other black military nurses to care for the German detainees of war in Florence, Arizona.

The words of the son

According to her son, they met,” when his father was working in the kitchen, he made advances toward his mother and stated: ‘You should know my name. I’m the man who will marry you.’

They were very mindful there was a significant segregation issue and that the Americans weren’t generally permitted to involved.

The End of the War

By war’s end, all German P.O.W.’s, including Frederick Albert, was sent to Germany.
Frederick returned to the United States, he and Elinor wedded on June 26, 1947, in Manhattan. They faced racism and had a difficult time finding work and a place to live.
So they moved to Boston and did find a few jobs. But eventually, he decided to move back to Gottingen, Germany, where his family lived.
Where he could work for his dad’s concrete business.
However, Germany was troublesome. His family members never had contact with people of color, which made it difficult and awkward for Elinor.
In under two years, Frederick, Elinor, Stephen, and Chris, who was a newborn child, returned to the United States.
Settling in Morton, Pa. Where they experienced the school racial issues.
