Politics, Social Unrest, and a Nation Divided

Politics, Social Unrest, and a Nation Divided

Today, The United States of America is not the country in which I grew up and have loved with all my heart. Our nation is perpetually at war somewhere around the globe. 

Unfortunately, we are a citizenry at war among ourselves.  Examples abound. The most recent is the tragic shooting at a Republican congressional baseball practice on Wednesday morning, June 14, 2017, wherein 5 people were wounded, some critically. 

In the wake of such tragedy, it does no good to point fingers at each other. I am not a fan of viewing reader’s comments on political issues and I avoid them at all costs. Unfortunately, I sometimes catch sight of such written dialogue and I am appalled at the views encompassing such acrimony, malevolence, and hostility. 

Into what kind of human beings have Americans evolved?

Surely, there has to be a turning point before a life worth living in the United States of America  isn’t.

Live simply.

Speak gently.

Love unconditionally.
