The Answer – TOM GROOMS

The Answer
Thoughts of author Prof. Dr. Thomas Fletcher Grooms

This is a story about the Answer. The truth of what you want to know. If you have an interest in the future, your finances and your longevity, this is for you.

If you have curiosity about a subject that some consider controversial, you want to keep going. The past half century, I have been giving messages on various subjects, particularly in the past few years.

People who are confronted with the world today are eager to learn about the future and the Answer to all questions. The Answer should prove popular with every age group.

This is not a complex theoretical treatise, but a direct account of the most thrilling optimistic view of what the future holds. I don’t know when the stock market will crash, a world war will ensue, or when the world is going to end.

As such, I don’t live in a secure bunker or await Armageddon, but live in a hope for the future. All generations have been searching for the Answer.

We need so many Answers to so many things. We seek Answers to the problems of the world, things we don’t know or understand, and most of all, the Answer for ourself.

It is perplexing to know when we have found the Answer, to separate truth from opinion, and whom we can trust. On one side, we find the Answer in the daily headlines, soundbites and blogs. On another side, we find the Answer in the classroom, church sermon, and media.

Many trust the Answer for their children to education. The Answer is to build bigger and better schools, pay higher taxes, hire more teachers, and raise teacher pay with administrators receiving the highest percentage of income.

The Answer we are told is to develop a smarter generation. Since 1980, the federal department of education continues to program newly minted young generations of illiterate socialists calling it progress of the masses.

The academic community has not given the Answer. The Answer may still be undiscovered and unrecognizable.

Students searching for the Answer were told the sole purpose of education was to develop inquiring minds. Students want to find the Answer, solid answers, credible answers, best truth answers, and be given lifelong answers and direction.

Politicians worldwide claim to have the Answer to the problems. They claim, elect me and I will govern with the Answer.

Maybe the Answer lies with some of vision ahead of their time. Either they do not have the funds or interest in entering the political theater or the fire money bottomless pit.

Great ideas of change are often rejected by the shortsightedness of others who fear they will be replaced. The Answer will not be found in the realm of political action or executive decision-making.

There are those who search other environments for the Answer in philosophy, religion, meditation and science. All the while finding indifferences in the scope of an Answer.

If we step aside of all beliefs, let the prophet speak. Then we have the freedom to accept or reject the Answer.
