Yesterday, and today... Russia and America, doing some verbal 'jousting' about nuclear war . Positioning nuclear subs...threatening WAR; war that on todays scale would leave behind few people and a scarred land that would lie in pain and impotence for eons.
My 'friends'; is this the best we can do? In 2025? Have we not learned our lessons yet? With all the wars before this? Of Hiroshima? The chemical dregs of Vietnam? My DH died from medical remnants of just those "dregs".
I've mentioned before about "manners"...a behavior that smooths our interactions, rubs us with respect and kindness, allows us to interact kindly and with "humanity" with differences...provides respect for each other...just plain makes the world a better place.
Yet in my job/dealing with the school sytem I notice the lack of manners. I see it in the public sector when interacting with everyday persons in stores, out and about.
And CERTAINLY in Washington! I wrote here many months ago about "kindergarden in session". Not getting better. Politicians DAILY are name calling, screaming into cameras, people are getting fired from long standing jobs because - get this; THEIR DIFFERENCES OF OPINIONS AND BELIEFS from the ruling politicians!
Did I move from America? Are we not the MELTING pot of the world where we embrace many races, creeds, beliefs?
RESPECT FOR DIFFERENCES.
RESPECT FOR LIFE AT ALL STAGES, ALL COLORS, ALL CULTURES.
RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER.
I am sad, very sad. I pray more and more these days.
And relish my old age increasingly - because I will - not so far ahead....be gone from this maddness.
SHALOAM, SHALOAM world; you need it.
Nature prevails; maybe she is sad as well.....
