Frustration in Time

Sometimes you have to look in the mirror and wonder what you really are looking at.  Are you staring at the person you have made, the person society has made, or the person you are destined to be.  Ive tried to not stare in the mirror basically to avoid any reflection of what I thought Ive seen.  As the image gets older and the lines more prominent I wonder...who am I.  Am I a strong man, a simple man, a shy man, a lonely man, a loving man, an arrogant man, a stupid man, an educated man, a weak man, or just not the right man.  I'm sure at times I can say yes or no to every one of those.   Today I sit a broken man. A man that has been pushed to his limit and has heard the snap of his soul.  I wonder why I'm here, what am I supposed to be doing here, am I doing the right thing, or am I frustrated with the way things are because its ME who's doing it all wrong. Am I supposed to be rude like others, am I supposed to drive as if there are no laws or signs, am I to treat others places as if they are trash dumps? I find myself frustrated a lot with all the situations I get put into due to the inconsideration of others.  My biggest problem I seem to have lately is my two boys.  They are going to grow up on a society that is over sensitive, rude, and expect everything at no or little cost.  A society of the quick dollar at anyone's expense.  How do I help them become kind, loving, considerate, productive young men in society? Shelter them? Force them? or just guide them with love and hope they make the right decisions? All in all I see a society that has lost the drive it to be polite to now just becoming a society of get out of my way or I will run you over.  I watched a move once about all the things Ive been talking about and as the American flag flew at the end it had one word flash across the screen.............
