These things are what flood my newsfeeds, social media accounts and news channels every. single. day. Sometimes it feels as though there is nothing but hatred and a cruel cruel set of circus side shows going on around me.
The truth is I am scared. I truly find myself scared everyday! I am scared for my children. I am scared for my country. I am scared for my family and friends. I am scared for the world.
Is this another one of those moments in which I am going to realize I am an adult? Or is this just the world I live in now?
We travel all the time. As a family we get to see parts of the country and the world that many do not. My children both have already been on more plane rides, ferry rides and train rides than most of my adult friends. Getting to see the pure beauty that nature and this world has to offer often takes my breath away. Sadly I then turn on any type of social media and the true beauty of nature is cast away by hatred, violence, anger and utter stupidity.
Why can we not find ways to get along? Why does everything seem to be a power struggle? How can people hate with such ferocity?
I am not naive that there are difference of opinions, religions, etc BUT I do believe that we should all try to walk in the other peoples shoes. Life is very different for every person out there and yet some people have the audacity to think that their way of life is the only way. That their opinion should be the end all be all of opinions.
The world is a beautiful place.... and yet we can't see it.
