The issues today are strenuous and objective in most cases. And there is lack of
empathy for the burden they carry.

The old adage comes up a lot of late: Life is sometimes a bitch and then you die.

Decisions are made by millions each day.

Today we are very likely to cast the first stone on issues of which we had no part in.
(I'm guilty of this at times) - but each of us see's and here's what we want to hear.
We take exception many times - but we don't have all the facts. We are quick to
judge others - and later find out that is was a difficult decision to make.

We are but human - and all of us are flawed - at one time or another. Many of us may
said; I have gone through hell and back, - but I learned at a very young age to keep
my pain to myself - based on others’ reactions.

Feelings are never right or wrong. They simply are what they are. Others may not
agree with our feelings, but that does not make our feelings any less valid.

Our truths may be different than others, but we are entitled to voice them. Our pain,
our truths, our stories- they are all unique and all deserve to be respected and heard.

The quality of a country depends on the reactions of its people. (Wow! that hits home!)

We've been through a lot of late. Depression and Recession are the drivers of these
pains throughout our country. The Power's entrusted to other's in our society are dim
of late - and show us their - insecurities and inabilities - to fix a problem.

As they say often: We shouldn’t judge a person unless we’ve walked a mile in their shoes.

Every man or woman has a breaking point of which translates into a disturbance of either
right or wrong. (Hence the Capitol break-in (is an example) These are common human
traits that people around the globe have to work out - one way or another.
Stressful and Heartbreaking - and usually is carried with us most of our lives.

As for depression its followed by mishaps and misdirection of which works on ones
mental state and shortens the lifespan of many.

Life is hard enough. We don’t always know what burdens other people are carrying,
but we can help them unload that baggage - if we assume less - and open our
minds and hearts more.

Our Country is not void of many of these issues. Uncertainty - thrives today within
our planet. All around the globe there is stress and ciaos. Unemployment - Food
Price(s) increases or lack thereof - Gasoline almost $5 a gallon - medical issues -
our military issues - making payments on loans - doctors - patients - transient folks
on the move looking for a safety and food and shelter. We are tailspin of issues and
our Government and others can't deal with it. They can't fix a broken record - more
so - when they can't work together - and this is often nowadays - its a real mess!
