Stephen's Story
Life
Like technology, my life went from simplicity to complexity at an accelerated rate. I was born to a US Marine who was the son of a steel worker who was the son of a coal miner who left pre-revolutionary Russia to go to America to find a better life. Just as the growth of technology doubles every 2 years, the complications in my life increase at an ever-intensifying rate. 40 years ago we watched black & white TV, used rotary phones, had never been to the moon and no one had heard of Spock or Kirk. 40 years ago my life was no more than eating and sleeping. Since then I attended school, started smoking, did drugs, had multiple lovers, had 3 wives, had 5 children and 1 grandchild. I have failed and succeeded in business, investigated many religions, made and lost track of many friends. ...Expand for more
As a youth I was a liberal and wanted to change the world. As I have gotten older and more cynical, I have become conservative in my politics and attitudes towards the world.
My early dreams of saving the world evolved into the realization that I would be lucky to be able to save myself. Things like honor and loyalty (early ethics instilled by my father) have carried me through to this point in my life. I have tried to teach my children these same ethics, and I find they ignore me as I ignored my father. I hope that some day these and other things like a strong work ethic, spirituallity, tradition and peace of mind become part of them as it has become part of me. Life is like a puzzle, as we age we find the right placement of the pieces that creates the picture of who we are meant to be.
