a tear for the world

[kayeightwhy]

things that i find digusting, stupid, inhumane, or really just sad in the world:
-capital punishment
-drugs
-drunk driving
-abortions
-murder
-slavery, especially in the US
-war

i guess today sorta showed me how nieve i really am. i live in a bubble where i see the world as the great place i know it could be but i never look beyond my bubble. i never have to. thank God. because beyond my bubble is the harsh, cruel world and i feel like every time we talk about the news someone died in war, theyre sentanced to the death penalty, they died of drugs, murder, suicides. how did we get here? were there always this many wars, deaths, drugs, murders? can we find our way back? we all share this earth...isnt there some way we can get along? in kindergarden you learn to coexist with others by sharing your blocks, not saying the word "stupid", and taking turns. what happened to that?

there is a light that can overcome the darkness
there is no darkness that can overcome the light
