Unrest

There have been so many acts of violence lately that it really makes you wonder what is going on with the world nowadays.

In my neck of the woods, there was rioting earlier this week.  I understand frustration but not hurting others or destroying property to get some point across~ which if you haven't notice~ was lost in the noise.

I guess people with power are always destined to abuse it and I think that is what we are seeing.

Those who are not being heard are lashing out~ but do you really think change is going to come?

I am leery because I don't think there is a true solution to our current problems.  Sure, we can put a band-aid on it~ but that is no real fix~people would have to actually change~ and I don't think we are willing to do that just to make someone else's life a little better~

It really is a shame....

The Game of Life

Do we get complacent if life?

I guess there is a comfort in the predictability of things, knowing what to expect.

I think we strive for some sense of routine but are we happy when we get what we think we want?

For me, it seems as soon as I get to a place where I start feeling comfortable with life, I collide and everything that was so settled is now shaken up.

It seems that my life is but a game of perfection, fast-moving, popping fun which always borders on frustration, but yet, I still play...

I just need to accept that fact that I can not determine the exact path my life.

I cannot predict the hurdles or the straightaways.  I just have to learn to enjoy the ride...
