Thoughts of a heavy heart What's the world coming to? A question springs to mind whenever I watch the news. I feel very disheartened. Many people are suffering while there are myriad ways to end their agony. It's quite hard to put into words our feelings about what is happening in many places around the world. Although I'm an optimist by nature, the daily news of killing and destructions lead my soul to cross the threshold of its maximum optimism. We need to show the spirit of mercy and compassionate between one another. The situation the world faces is extremely challenging but It is my fervent hope that we will be able to have a brighter future to generations to come.
