Yeah I know its Monday and its not my usual time to post things but I thought I’d throw caution to wind and do a second blog this week as I feel a bet rebellious.
For a while now it has come to my attention that the world is a little bit messed up, confused and worrying. Its also very unfair and unpredictable.
Random bombings of ordinary people whether they be on a bus, listening to music or hanging around in cafes or bars. Missiles being fired into the sea to test their capabilities and then subsequent ideas of military action being taken to stop it. Major computer hacks that cause worry. Greed and penny-pinching bosses that result in chaos in airports. Road-rage and suffering. Not to mention all the other rubbish that is have a damaging effect on society, the environment, incomes, health and learning.
Is it just me being pessimistic, over-reacting, looking to deep or just opening my eyes or it it becoming worse and worse?
My brother has a way of dealing with it by going home, closing the door and buring himself in chores, films and tinkering. Lucy finds not reading the papers or turning on the news works for her. But isn’t that just ignoring the problem? I had aspirations that maybe if action was taken then slowly things could change for the better but how wrong I seem to be. I hear so many politicians saying that they will do this, that and the other in their manifestos. However, words are cheep and not delivering promises is an easy way to move forward. I think also many start out with good intentions and ideas of changing the world but sadly are blocked from every angle by those who act immorally and dishonestly.
Our whole world now appears to be built on all the wrong standards.
If one is immoral, dishonest, a bully, heartless, manipulative and would sell their own soul to the highest bidder then they become leaders and power-lords. Whatever happened to integrity, mercy and fairness? They may become lost from our lexicons soon.
Yes we can make happiness and fun and we can experience trust and love in our own tiny corners of the globe but we often have that at the cost of keeping one eye open looking out for danger to spring.
We live our lives in such small and isolated bubbles that so often we stop having any regards for others. Take an innocent cycle ride. One can be minding their own business and enjoying the country air and sights when a car can’t wait mere seconds to pass and have a near fatal accident. Are we in so much of hurry?
Okay in recent days we have seen horrific bombings and the selflessness of those who just want to help and offer support; so humanity still exists. But surely it shouldn’t take acts of aggression or hatred to bring out those actions.
As a world we ALL should stop occasionally and notice our own actions and what influences they are having on those around us and if they are negative then change.
We are all responsible for each other.
