The World Is Going Insane & Bringing Me With It
I think I’ve reached a low point today. Reading the news.
More violence in the Middle East. People are dying. Who cares what color their skin is or their nationality or their god? People are dying and it’s just another bullet on the news. Just another day. How easy it is to be detached way over here on this continent in the safety of our living rooms.
More arguing between the Left and Right. Excuses from the Right. Fingerpointing from the Left. No one seems to be doing anything to stop the spiral of this country into a new dark ages.
Our country claims to be bringing equality for women to the rest of the world; all the while trying to shackle it’s own female citizens by passing laws that are meant to control.
It’s only a matter of time before the terrorists strike again and the President only wants us to be afraid when he says so. We’re supposed to blindly follow along. If we don’t, we aren’t good Americans. And yet, if it was a Democrat in the White House, everything would be suspect.
The world is going insane and I feel hopeless, like I’m in one of those dreams where everything horrible is happening and I can’t move; I can only watch.
Anyway, it took me to a low point, standing in my kitchen, sobbing as my dinner went cold. Somehow I don’t think the anti-depressant is working, but then it’s so hard to tell.
