WHAT IS GOING ON??
Do you know? Because I, as sure as hell, don’t!!!
I go to bed and in the morning when I wake up there is another horror story of death and destruction whether actually man-made or not – and, of course, I can see and hear of the bravery, compassion and care going on too in spite of the happenings.
Once again, there has been so much written in the Media and Social Media, seen on the T.V. and heard on the Radio (pros and cons), protests, marches held, concerts put on, donations made of clothes, food, money, volunteering ……. plus lots of squabbling by those in so-called power and with their own agenda.
With what can seem like madness happening in the world, what should we do? Should we let it all get us down whether we are involved in any protests or not?
I’ve had enough
I don’t know except that sometimes we have to get to that place of ‘I’ve had enough’ with the deluge from the media – Papers, TV, Radio, Social Media ……. in order to make a decision for ourselves about what we think or do.
I, for one, see all this change can only be eventually for the good and I am willing to hold up my hands and own that I may be deluded. It may not happen and I am owning that I hope it will even if it is not in my lifetime!!
Of course, I am still shocked, horrified, sad, tearful, angry, upset and able to disagree with much of what’s happening. As well as crying at the kindness seen being done quietly and loudly to comfort and support others. I don’t know about you and where you are in your thinking.
Shakeup
Perhaps we need to have some kind of shake-up to life, to have reminders of the broader vision of how life could be. And not this craziness that’s going on now so we can reflect on what’s happening collectively and individually to bring about change. And I don’t want it to be this way!! I own up to saying, please no more as how are we to cope. It is too much to bear. – don’t let it go on too long as I also like certainty in all this chaos!
Again, perhaps this is to remind us that we are all inter-connected and that reminds us of the bigger picture, that we are not on our own. We are inter-connected and nowadays it comes to the fore for the greater good with all the social media available.
We all know that our world is changing around us – in small or large ways – and attempt is made to cling on and pretend whatever is not happening or is no concern of ours, then we can – get dragged kicking and screaming; simply give up; we do what we can or perhaps we can see that we do have a choice in our response to change – good or bad.
Time of turmoil
Each of us can only do our best in this time of turmoil by giving ourselves time to explore, ask, reflect and make our own choice of how we react or not. You don’t have to be a sheep (unless you want to be) and to acknowledge you are lucky in that you have the freedom of choice and you will do what is right for you.
Life is a huge, big experience – like a roller coaster with ups and downs of good, bad and indifference, of, amongst others, fear, anger, pain, excitement and pleasure. Your emotional resilience will enable you to trust yourself in whatever, and however, your response is to this madness. I don’t have the answer!!
Go Well.
