What’s happening in the world?
I watch the TV and see frightened people trying to escape from a war zone and wonder what the hell is going on?
Can’t people see the futility of shooting bombs at their neighbors when the majority of people who get killed and maimed are civilians? Do poeple not have any sense of proportion and/or ethics?
It would be easy to let all of this violence make us more apathetic…….after all what can you and I do about it?
I’ve pondered this question long and hard and decided I don’t want to live in a bubble. Much and all as I abhor the violence and aggression, I can’t shut it out and pretend it’s not happening………………therefore I need to do something proactive.
So, I’m writing to politicians, talking to people at work and at home, and positively affirming an end to this conflict.
What good will that do? I hear you say……………..well it’s a damn lot better than avoiding the news and pretending that I don’t have an investment in what happens on MY planet and in MY world……………….because it’s MY world and it’s YOUR world………….it doesn’t belong to any one country and no one super power (no matter what they might think)!
So get to it troops…………..write, talk, think and VOTE for a better world. The day will come when all of these elderly cowboys who currently sit in the top jobs in many powerful countries will be sitting quietly in a nursing home somewhere and eating vitamised food …………..they can’t stay in power forever. Our day is coming and we need to know how we’re going to move the world ahead in a peaceful and productive way, caring for the environment, caring for each other and caring for our future and the future for our kids.
