Looking at things happening in the world today makes my heart break. It breaks for those who are suffering due to other peoples prejudices and actions, and it breaks for those who blindly charge through life thinking they are right and don't take into consideration anything that others say.
If you listen to the TV pundits they sound so serious most of the time they seem right in their opinions because they are bringing in "experts" and discussing the topics with them. What their shows are really are echo boxes. Listening to them for a length of time makes their opinions seem legitimate, they get into your head and all the thinking you should do for yourself is conveniently done for you. Get away from it for a while and come back to it and you can hear the echo chamber (perhaps). But if you're immersed in it for too long than it just sounds legitimate and real.
The same thing happens in religions.
Anyway I will write more later. I'm just sad we're in this position as a country and as a world.
