Will Love Prevail?(Herm Sherwood-Sitts) Will Love Prevail?
By Herm Sherwood-Sitts

Last summer my grandson and I took Maybellene (Our 77 Corvette) to a car show. On our end we sat with our 210 horse powered, standard 4 speed, 44 year old beauty. At the other end sat the brand new model, a 715 horse powered, automatic 8 speed, mid engine rocket. Technology has sure come a long way. But has technology been all good?

Stuck to his phone he notices no one. Sitting on a bus stop bench with a beautiful, intelligent girl beside him, a young man visits his dating app, oblivious to her. (Just a scenario of everyday life.) Have we lost the art of eye contact or human touch? Less people are getting married these days. Is it because they want to have it all without answering to someone else’s feelings? Have we become as cold as the machines technology has given us?

Meantime, through social media we have become a country with crooked politicians that pit us against each other by race, religion, ethnics, age, financial status and now by vaccination. I wonder if in the future people will choose a partner by vaccinated or pure blood status. Will the results of being one or the other become a factor because of the side effects? For my grandchildren’s grandchildren… I can only hope love will prevail and they will look into the eyes of someone and fall in love. No matter what differences they have.
