Overwhelmed

In looking at the world news reporting today, it was so full of highly toxic human activities, it was overwhelming in terms of what to write about. I was going to write about one or two specific events, but, I couldn’t. Unfortunately, there was just too much to choose from. Instead, I turned on some music and wrote this post.

We’re supposed to be the smartest life form on the planet, but, really, we are the dumbest, cruelest, most self-destructive beings. I cannot fathom why we do the things we do. I understand why we do what we do, but still, why? We can have peace. We can love. We can care. We can help others. Yet, as a species, we don’t and won’t.

Don’t get me wrong, there are many truly wonderful human beings on the planet and I am grateful for this. From this, I derive hope, so I refuse to give up on humanity. I will continue to try and make a positive difference, even though my voice is miniscule, smaller than a speck of sand in the Universe.

Don’t give up on hope. Change is always possible. Remember, tomorrow is a new day. It could be worse than today, or, it could be better than today. How you look at life is your choice. Choose not to be overwhelmed.
