The majority of people are good.
Think about all your first-hand interactions, they’re nice aren’t they?
Now, I’m no Pollyanna. There are blatantly obvious differences in culture and we’ve been placed in a position that feels increasingly hopeless.
There was a commotion at an event in the UK yesterday and people were piling on to share incredibly violent footage of the goings-on.
We have a propensity for violence, make no mistake. We find it exciting and satisfying. It scratches the itch of our vengeance.
Bad. Very bad. And we know it but many share it nonetheless.
I crave peace.
I also crave variety.
The two can work together well but I know I have to be doing things for the right reasons.
Curiosity.
Inquisitiveness.
A desire to be fully immersed in my immediate surroundings.
What kills the soul is the need to perpetuate the violence. To share it so people know what’s ‘going on’. We know it’s not spiritual. Most just ignore that.
All this said, people are trying. Some are just more successful than others.
