Don't call me heartless...
I'm just tired.
I'm tired of seeing children sick and dying on my TV. I'm tired of hearing the children downstairs screaming for attention and seeing their "parents" jerk them up by the arm and spank them just because they wanted to stop for a minute and play with the bushes outside (gods forbid they touch anything green). What caused this message: an endless week of Christian Children's Fund commercials and the kids next door and downstairs screaming constantly for 12 hours out of each day. No matter how much I want to care (and I do most of the time) this week has me on edge.
Sometimes I think people care too deeply and other times not enough. It's an ebb and flow with me, like the cycles of life and my moods, ever changing. But no matter how much I try, I will never care enough...it will never be enough. The reason it will never be enough: As soon as you solve one childs problems another is being brought into the world who's parents either (a) had no business bringing another child they can't afford into this world or (b) had no business procreating in the first place.
We've changed the world for our children, unfortunately, not in a good way. No longer can a tribal society survive in the world without constant pressure to conform. Raising a child DOES take a village, unfortunately, our village is a global one with nasties at every turn. I'm sorry children of America, you will never know penny candy or one dollar gas. You will never know your parents in any decent capacity and to you we also leave our lasting legacy of a wasteland world revolving into the unknown.
