No it's not you and yes...it is getting worse.
Wish I had an answer to give...hell I ain't even got cure...
As for me...I try to make the "world" around me a bit better of a place to be and hope it rubs off on others. Teaching by example if you will...but alas...that don't always work...
I live in what is called the Bible Belt in VA. Which is really amusing considering I follow traditional path of my Grandfathers & Grandmothers...Recently in a small town near me one of the faiths came out and claimed that gays had the same right to a religious community as well as anyone else...the church was burned yesterday... What does this really say about the human race?....I find myself going to work and coming home and not wanting to deal with what is out there if I don't have too...I find I can't watch much news..getting too much to handle...Being an empath this is really taking it's toll on my physical being as well as my spiritual being. I walk the straight and right Red Road...but the White road keeps bleeding into my life.
The bad guys win because they don't care who they hurt...if you don't believe their way...they punish you...We probably could make a difference if we chose to play fast and loose with other lives...but some say that is not our way....Don't know...myself I think it is time for another Trail of Broken Treaties...but they (govt) would probably gun us down like at Kent State all those years ago. Makes me mad too....
When we hear of man's inhumanity to man;
all we can do is pray that the Great Spirit
will finally touch the hearts of man
and show that love is the only way.
This is really the only answer I can come up with.
