Can we talk?

The Advancement of Man

         There's just too much going on in the world. It's depressing. The horror, the violence, the insanity, the blood-thirst. It's appalling. What's even more appalling is the lack of moral repulsion from all sides, the lack of leadership to prevent this, the lack of moral outrage form religious groups including Muslim groups. From riots in the streets, looting, personal assaults, assassinations, be-headings, and so much more, our daily concerns seem trite.

         It makes you want to go into a cocoon so you don't have to hear about it. We live in stressful times, scary times. Our population is heavy laden with cares. Even though we may not know individuals involved, our hearts ache for those people in other towns, other countries--those families who've lost loved ones, whose daughters have been kidnapped, whose family members have been savagely slaughtered.

         It must be the never ending struggle of the earth. The world cries out for peace, but mankind grows more cruel and more savage. For all our enlightenment and our technological advances, we are still cavemen. Only now, we know about what happens everywhere through advanced communication systems. We can't escape the dreary reality.
