As I watch the world unfold, I find myself struggling; wondering how to make sense of a senseless situation.
Maybe it’s just me, but the world seems to be getting colder, (and I don’t mean the weather). Public figures are speaking out in unspeakable ways; the media is leading us on a terrifying ride through the bowels of insanity, while the public bickers and fights tooth and nail to berate and humiliate anybody who dares to have a different opinion.
Half truths and full blown lies are presented as facts. And even more disturbing, is that people are believing these “facts” without question. Differing opinions are dividing the world into splinters. Jagged, piercing splinters carrying the poison of righteous indignation.
In my wildest nightmares I never imagined that our world, in this day and age, would be so full of hate and anger.
WTF people?
Take a deep breath!
Call me naïve, but I really believe that if we don’t start working together, we’re doomed.
Fighting against one another is senseless, not to mention futile. Do we like living in a world on the brink of disaster? Do we want our future to be a dark and looming cloud? Don’t we care about what we’re leaving behind for our children? Why would any one of us carry the unbearable weight of hate and anger willingly?
I could go on and on… I am so frustrated and discouraged. Some days it takes my breath away.
How do I make sense of a senseless situation?
I remind myself that I am different. I am a different person, with different experiences, and different circumstances; in a different place, surrounded by different people. Some things are within my control and others are not.
I acknowledge that I can only work with the tools that I have. I can only develop new tools through learning and experience. What I don’t know today, I will likely learn.
I realize that there is nothing about me that makes me any better or any worse than anybody else. I don’t need to be filthy rich, and I don’t need to look like a supermodel. I don’t need to work a glamorous job, or go to exotic locations. I measure my worth by how I treat the people around me. When I fall short, I work on solutions and not blame.
I understand that I am free to choose my own religion, or not. I am free to live my life in a way that makes sense, and feels right for me. Every one of us should have that right.
It makes sense to me that if I connect with my own personal thought and beliefs I will, in turn, develop a better understanding of the people around me.
If we can understand the people around us, we have something to work with.
If we can find one shred of common ground, we have something to build on.
If we can offer compassion, understanding and empathy instead of fear, hatred and intolerance, we open a path to healing.
We all want to create something great in our lives. But what good is great, if you’ve got nobody to share it with?
Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good success. If you know of any please share. Appreciate it!
I am not familiar with any one in particular, however, if you search “SEO” in your plugins, you will find a number of them to choose from. Good luck!
I have read several good stuff here. Definitely worth bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how much effort you put to make such a magnificent informative website.
Hey, you used to write magnificent, but the last several posts have been kinda boring… I miss your tremendous writings. Past few posts are just a bit out of track! come on!
I appreciate your honesty. Perhaps my next post will be more appealing to you. If not, we had a good run, right?
Caillng all cars, calling all cars, we’re ready to make a deal.
Hi there! I’m at work browsing your blog from my new iphone 4! Just wanted to say I love reading your blog and look forward to all your posts! Carry on the excellent work!|
I love that you took the time to post a comment; especially while I am almost certain you’re having a great time exploring your new iPhone. Feeling much love right now. Thank you! Enjoy your new phone!
Valuable information. Lucky me I found your site by accident, and I am shocked why this accident didn’t happened earlier! I bookmarked it.
Thank you! I appreciate your comment.
That’s a we-lgthoulht-out answer to a challenging question
My brother suggested I might like this website. He was once entirely right. This submit actually made my day. You can not consider just how a lot time I had spent for this information! Thank you!
Did I mention what an awesome guy your brother is? lol I appreciate your comments and thank you for taking the time to read a few of my thoughts. Wishing you all the best!
Hello.This article was extremely motivating, especially since I was searching for thoughts on this subject last Friday.
great points altogether, you simply gained a brand new reader. What would you suggest in regards to your post that you made some days ago? Any positive?
There are so many positives. I think the problem is that you have to make an effort to see them. And when you do, you have to hold on to them. For example, as a result of having made this post, a stranger took the time to read, comment, and ask my opinion. We’re communicating, sharing ideas, giving a voice to potentially different opinions, and most importantly offering respect to one another. That’s all positive to me. Thank you so much for your comment. Much appreciated!
