Are love and respect getting out-of-date? When I turn the TV on I can feel my heartbeat getting faster. It's news' time. I know I am likely to see things I don't want to see, but, also, I need to be informed about what is happening all over the world. Sometimes, in my mind, I remember that song from Black Eyed Peas that sings... "What is wrong with the world mama?". What I see lacks purpose. People killing each other for no reason (And actually there will never be a reason), and even when they think they have a reason, It's certainly banal. When it's not about killing, there is always someone trying to take advantage on others, mostly, over the less fortunate. News shows what people want to forget. People are hungry while we waste most of what you produce. Our children are orphans, and no one cares about it. Actually they are not fatherless, they are sons and daughters of meaningless war. The powerful we put in charge, are too much worried about keeping their position to do anything. But it is certainly not only their fault. We ourselves are too busy running as a marathoner to our own concerns, and we don't have time do anything worthy. There is a say in the Bible that reads "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold" (I don't want to get into any religion subject. Just quoting), and I truly believe that this is the case. People all over to world are too busy with their own pursuits that they just don't have time anything other than their small-lacking-purpose world. I think the problem is that we are allowing our very basic social skills to fade way. We don't have patience, or kindness, or respect anymore. And that is leading us away from each other. I was watching the news these days and there was this report about how we are becoming more incomprehensible. We just don't want to listen or accept that others may have a different understanding of the world. We are so drowned in our technological devices of loneliness that it is almost like we were living a virtual life. Now, of course, there is still hope. We need to stop and think about our mistakes. Everyone of us need to take the responsibility and take even the smallest steps to change this world that we live in. We need to stop blaming other for our own failures, but also be patient with the ones that still can't do it. The hate in our heart need to be fumigated with an extra dose of love. The change you want to the world starts with you (Not sure where I read it but probably I did read it somewhere.).
