With so much in the news today, I don’t even know where to
start and if to do so. There’s nothing I can say that can really change
anything. Should I start with the story of the Duggars? Nope, I’ll let you read
it yourself: http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/21/us/josh-duggar-child-molestation-allegations/
Or the acquittal of the police officer in Cleveland? Nah,
feel free to google it: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/24/us/michael-brelo-cleveland-police-officer-acquitted-of-manslaughter-in-2012-deaths.html?_r=0
How about Ireland’s change in its constitution to legalize
same-sex marriage? http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/23/europe/ireland-referendum-same-sex-marriage/
Or the fact that in other news…
There’s so much more going on around the globe, but I’m
tired. My brain is exhausted; it hurts.
After a long week rounding out the school year, watching my
children so excited about Summer and looking forward to all the adventures they
can’t wait to experience, I sit back and long for those days. The world is
changing around them, and they are completely oblivious. In my case, call me
stupid or ridiculous, but ignorance is bliss when it comes to the news. There
is so much hate and inconsistency in our world that it makes it difficult to
want to wake up each morning.
If we aren’t disagreeing publicly on someone’s Facebook page,
we’re tearing down people who are simply trying to survive and uphold their beliefs,
or what they consider to be true, while calling them intolerant or bigots. The
interesting thing is that the more hate we spew in either direction, the less
that gets resolved, the more messed up the world as we know it is becoming.
I remember watching in the news when we were younger. My
greatest fear was being shot randomly on the freeway by a drive-by shooter.
Now, the drive-by shooters come in various forms, and they aren’t just armed
with guns. They can cost you your job/livelihood, disrupt your life due to allegations
that would not have stood years ago, or even result in ruined friendships just
because you share your thoughts on an issue.
Wow…we’ve come a long way, folks. The only problem is that
rather than progressing, we’re regressing at such a rate that it’s scary. Men
and women died…for us…and we’re defecating on their graves and insulting their
families with our disdain. Lord, help us all. I weep for the coming
generations.
