This picture reminds me how small our earth is from space. Beautiful yes, but small. Inside our small globe we have war, hate, and starving people. We have homeless people, displaced people, and people fleeing their governments for fear of death. As small as it is, we have animals in great numbers becoming extinct, oceans polluted with plastic waste, and climate change fueling forest fires.
They say that we all have a common ancestor. Many, many years ago, we were one people. How does on ancient people become many separate peoples who hate each other for no good reason. How does a brother turn on a brother, and sister fight with her sister? How did that happen so many millions of years ago? Does hate grow more hate? Does fear make people weak? Does having food give someone the ability to dominate the starving?
Where does all our bad behavior come from and why can't we control these feelings of superiority? Why can't we help each other, educate everyone and give everyone a fair share?
What is wrong with us? Where did we go wrong? Or have we always been this way. A bad experiment gone wrong. Evil, hateful, and sinners one and all. Is that where we are?
Sad, just plain sad the state of our minds, bodies, and souls.
It is a dark time that we live in. Please let in the light, please help your neighbor, and please be kind.
