Hey Steemians
This past week has been a bit of a tough one. It seems every time you turn on the TV there is nothing but negativity being shown. From the chaos in the white house to the school shootings that have taken innocent lives, it's getting pretty hard to stay positive.
I've gone from being really mad and asking why this happened to being sad thinking there is nothing we can really do about it. Then I started to wonder has this always been happening and we are just becoming more aware of it, or is there something wrong with our culture that promotes violence in general?
I think it might be a little bit of both...
As much as we rail against politicians they are a reflection of us. They face and deliver reality for us so we can go on about our lives. But it seems that the veil that has been over our eyes for so long is getting lifted slowly and we are seeing the world for what it is. A very hostile place.
The only silver lining I can see are that the young people are fed up and taking action into their own hands. This goes just beyond what they are doing right now in the wake of this mass tragedy. They are rejecting a lot of the old traditions/mindsets that have kept populations enslaved both mentally and physically.
We are finally realizing how the power of a few can make an impact on the many.
