i didn’t sleep well last nite.. too much watching the news. worrying about the state of affairs in this world and in our country.... we are in a war with ourselves... inbred war ... stemming from a multitude of issues.. not just one... and not really focusing on the root of these issues.. be it gun control, mental health, so many disenfranchised left out of the system, religious intolerance.. it’s a country feeding on itself.. in ugly ways.. and making us all so disheartened. pained. uneasy..
yeah we want to go on with our lives.. and we do.. but we can’t go on to the next and the next event..like flavors of the week.. we need to pull these systemic problems apart..we have to find collaborative ways to fight back with peace...
and then add salt to the wounds we have people we can’t even fathom how they are there. like trump running for office.. and all the people supporting him.. so there in lies another problem.. that people can get behind a man like this.... i scratch my head in complete disbelief...
i think about young women/ men ready to have children.. those already with them.. i can’t imagine how they talk about these things...and explain . bc it’s so random... and happening so often.....how are we to feel safe? were we ever safe?
there has always been wars. atrocities... but this randomness of little wars... when you don’t even know they are declared.. on defenseless and underserving innocent civilians... dying for no cause of their own.. I’m sickened. sad.. bewildered..... and feel unsettled....
i hope there will be a way for a better future ahead.. i hope the youth.. become a force... socially minded... less financially so.... not that they dont need money. but most important is a Conscience..................... i dont know how to operate in a world where many dont have that.. scary stuf
