Assigning Ourselves In Society Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Our thoughts shape our actions in life, their images are
carried in our minds and different subjects invoke visions
based on concrete information, based on our wants, needs and
desires.

How people see themselves determines how a nation responds
to a challenge, its been said, as do roles we play in family
life with respect to our children, depending once again on
how we assign ourselves in society.

It seems to hold true with science also; can it be an inte-
grated part of our culture or does it have to be forced to
develop independently, because ideas are powerful, each person
needing to know if they're good or bad, right or wrong.

Usually that's where danger sets in, undermining communication
with thoughtful people, we all think of science in different
ways and images, yet science can be pure thought that helps
our minds find the truth.

In the end it seems that science provides the power, giving
what's needed for effective action in inventing new technologies
in different aspects of this world we live in, passageways of
thought culminating in knowledge at last.
