Given the headlines that I have been reading lately, it doesn't surprise me that people believe the world is about to come to an end. Sanity has certainly lost it's grip on the world.
Paparazzi who assault, not only celebrities, but the families of celebrities, are suing because when they jump on / at a vehicle, they get knocked down or run over. When I was growing up, that was called "If you jump in front of a moving vehicle, you're probably gonna get hit." AKA - common sense!
Parents, getting divorced (nothing new), each insist that the other must be evaluated by a psychiatrist, because one (or the other) might have something bad to say about the non-custodial parent. When I was growing up - you let the kids decide for themselves about the 'goodness' or 'badness' of either parent, based on that parent's behavior., and you shut up about Mom/Dad. AKA - kids are not stupid!
It is my understanding that if one country/ faction / sect isn't officially at war with another country/ faction / sect, neither country/ faction / sect can simply hunt down people and kill them. (Geneva Convention and all that.) Yet, that is what most of the people in the world are currently doing/ advocating for any country/ faction / sect who has different religious, political, or general philosophies. I grew up during the Vietnam 'Police Action'. AKA - if you're not willing to declare war so that you can call it a war - you have no business being there; and you had certainly better not decide that you are allowed to determine who is allowed to live or die.
The world seems insane. What should happen, isn't. What shouldn't happen, is.
I'm not sure that I'm in a position to say what's right or wrong. I just know that things don't feel right; and haven't for a good long time.
What do you think?
