Hello World. What is in your pickle ? We have all been pickled. Pickles begin as fresh beautiful cucumbers, so firm and pure in nutrition, color and function. However when pickled, they are transformed into a different delicacy. The ingredients of their transformation are vinegar, salt, etc. boiled nice and long until all such ingredients are soaked through and through.
Yum yum depending on your individual taste and desire.
And so it is with life. As I see it, we are all pickled. Pickled with our environment, anywhere on this globe there is the process of pickling. In America we are intensely pickled. We are pickled in our excesses. We are pickled in politeness. We are pickled in privilege. We are pickled in smut. We are pickled in denial. We are pickled in temptation. We are so damned pickled.
We pickle our children with our thoughts and behaviors. The media has pickled us all . . . and our children especially. We have allowed it to happen of course . . . because we ourselves are pickled.
So what is in your pickle ? Think about it. Ask yourself, what is in your pickle ? I guarantee you whatever is in that pickle . . . your children have that and . . . whatever is in their own.

you are right...we are esentially full of our environments; both individually and as a society. We must strive each day to see past our own (pickle) ingredients, to understand and embrace how other people live, think, and behave. It is only in reaching out that our world can begin to "boil out" some of society's more negative ingredients!
