question.

what is going on? no. I mean it. what... is... going... on? with everyone? with everything?

when did we stop being sisters and brothers to each other? since when do we proclaim messages of hate rather than love and forgiveness, and mercy? when did mistakes become permanent marks that can never be washed away from our dirty lives? I'm not sure that's in the Bible anywhere. I am sure that Jesus tells us to forgive one another as He forgives us, and to love our neighbors. Did the whole world just forget these fundamental truths all in one day, and consequently one by one corrupted every pure and holy soul out there with anger, death, and hate?

when did friends become beginners of dissent? when did sisters and brothers of the same Father decide to forsake friendship based on petty differences? do we write each other off because we have a bad day? since when do people who love each other treat one another as if love isn't the center of every relationship? do we go on offering no explanation, no possible solution? do we treat each other as if we don't exist, as if the problems just float away somewhere in the universe away from us and therefore must not need to get the attention they do indeed require for the good of all, for the good of mankind? we don't do what we do and live the way we do solely for the good of one person, we do it for everyone, because we're all interconnected and we all affect one another- in both good and bad ways. do we give our hearts over to our selfishness? do we give into the hate and forsake the love offered freely to us?

tell me when this all happened, because i must have missed the memo. please tell me when everyone decided to attack and ignore and exploit rather than support, respect and lift up. i feel out of the loop. i feel lost inside the pain that surrounds cold hearts and stony eyes. i'm lost in this.
