"Commitment, What is that? " Said America

Commitment :
1.the act of committing.
2.the state of being committed.
3.the act of committing, pledging, or engaging oneself.
4.a pledge or promise; obligation: We have made a commitment to pay our bills on time.
5.engagement; involvement: They have a sincere commitment to religion.

Committed:
1. bound or obligated, as under a pledge to a particular cause, action, or attitude; "committed church members"; "a committed Marxist" [ant: uncommitted]
2. associated in an exclusive sexual relationship [syn: attached] [ant: unattached]

All of the United States is going into a financial tale spin because commitment is a lost art. So many people have let greed stand in the way of their commitment not only to others, but to themselves. You cannot take a man for his word, you always have to cover yourself or lose out. I hate this 'me, me, me' society we live in. I'm all about enjoying life - just not at the cost of others.
Get off your ass America, and earn what you want.  Don't buy now and figure it out later.
This blog is also brought on by the fact that I have been couching a football team with a lot of kids that don't have the commitment they should have and when I meet the parent I see were they get it. If you are going to be apart of something you must be committed to it. This goes for work, school, sports, family, life goals, and many other things in life.
