Repost : Chaos

Below is a post  I wrote on Oct 2, 2017. This is an unfortunate repost of something that has become all to familiar. I have all the same feelings and maybe even more fear for the future my son will grow up in and the one I will have to protect him against. What will change? When will the pendulum swing back to peace, love and happiness? And, what will we have to endure before then?

----------------------

That's how I feel this morning about the world we live in. What has the world come to? Catastrophic and meaningless tragedies happening all around us. Furthermore, hate. 

For what? Why? 

As I sit here, holding my child, I am actually stricken with fear and anxiety for the world he will grow up in. As I watch the news reports come in everyone is plagued with such routine behavior. Why have we become immune to tragedy and chaos? 

The feeling I have of not being able to go anywhere - concerts, malls, movies, festivals - continues to grow deeper. It's not ok. I know we need to continue to live our lives, but when will that fear go away? When will the senselessness end?

Words to remember on this Monday morning...
