It's a sad sad world...
What is happening to our society? Does anyone have any thoughts on that? I have many, but the one that haunts me the most is how this world is crumbling around us and no one really gets it.
People get angry when things like Va Tech happen, they blame the school for lack of security, I'm sure it's out of their own grief, but let's think about it, these things are happening all the time, everywhere, they just get worse and more gruesome. Look at 911. Can we truly prevent these horrible things from happening? Do we all need to start living in bubbles and staying home behind iron walls?
I personally, don't believe there is much of anything we can do about this kind of stuff, it's become the way of the world and I believe, it's suppose too. Do I like it, do I feel safe everyday? NO. Do I worry constantly, more than normal, about my own children, family members and friends, you bet. I hate the thought of my kid's growing up in this menaced society, I sometimes feel guilty as hell for ever bringing children into this mess of a world because it's NOT safe anymore, what are they facing in 10 - 20 years from now if things are this bad right now as I write this?
I HATE turning on the news, there is never one good thing to announce, look at the weather, just as irratic. Nor' easters in April, heatwaves of dramatic proportions in the south, people dying from this stuff. Pollution, radiation killing our birds, causing cancer, the War in Iraq and now our children being massacred at a college.
Does my opinion really matter? I'd like to think so, but will it make any difference in the world at large, doubtful. But I'm sharing it anyhow and I pray for those in Va who have lost loved ones and suffered in this terrible heinous act of another so called human being.
God be with you.
