Ah another beautiful day in the world. Nice and warm, plenty of sunshine, lots of little puffy clouds dotting the blue sky. It is days like today that really make me appreciate my position in the world and the small miracle that I was born and raised in a stable, civilized country. The world today, in so many places, seems scary, random, and violent. I can not imagine growing up as a child having to worry about whether or not I will be able to eat a meal at night... or whether or not I will be caught up in some act of violence between two warring groups.... How can we expect people to see the world in the same rosy way when most of their experiences are so different from ours? We are shielded and insulated from so many things. I know that when I go home tonight that, barring some random disaster, my home is going to be there.... exactly the way I left it. Many people in the world, and in some regions more than others, may go home tonight and find that their home is destroyed or strafed with gun fire. Sad.....It is indeed unfortunate that the world is filled with so much hate.... There I go sounding like a damned dirty hippy.
So anyhow, yeah things are good grand wonderful in my corner of the world.... Maybe someday everyone everywhere will be able to feel this safe and secure.... It is a nice thought at least.  ¶ 2:12 PM
