Good and evil. Seems like an odd thing to be thinking about but today I have been pondering on it. The world we are living in right now begins to feel as if evil is winning. The covid virus, our irrational, uncaring and vituperous (worthy of blame) government, the hatred about race, sex and many other things seems to have taken us over.
I find it difficult to have a conversation with some people as they are set into the idea that their way is the only way. Everyone else is wrong. This is not the world I grew up in. This is a world I find impossible to understand. How can things have gotten this bad?
The world I grew up in did have lots of grey areas. Things were not just black and white (not talking about race). People were allowed to have opinions that differed from each other and that was acceptable. There were no lines drawn in the sand.
I am so sad for the world my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren have to live in. Understanding, caring, and kindness seem to be disappearing. The news reports only want to fan the flames and make things worse.
Somehow there has to be a way to stop all of this. I hope that it doesn’t require something more drastic than what we are seeing now to bring it to an end. I hope that it doesn’t take an alien invasion to bring us all together!!!

It seems like the more we ‘evolve’ as a society, the more we have to learn. I just don’t know how things can be so backward. Have we learned nothing?

Sometimes it seems that way.

I totally agree. It is difficult to have a discussion on any subject anymore. Even reading our daily newspaper gets frustrating because there are so many angry, opinionated commenters. I am lucky that I am well enough and free enough to walk for an hour or so every morning. I walk for peace – for myself, my family, for everyone who needs it. It helps.
