A chaotic world is not news. Hell, we watch the news, read the newspaper, and scroll past chaos daily. Most ignore it as this is the only way to move forward and cope. We are all guilty of protecting ourselves from chaos and hurt. We are all fearful and scared in some way. But the scale of ignorance is different for individuals. It is hard to disengage for some and easy for others. This ignorance scale, does it determine if you are a good or bad person?
There is no clear answer on how much we are supposed to help in this world. I barely read the news, engage in social media, but my heart still sinks daily with my inability to help. There is too much turmoil, and heart-ache that it is drowning. It is a survival mechanism to separate myself from it or is it fear and selfishness?
No one has all the answers and no one has clarity in today’s chaotic world on what steps to take to mend the hurt. The best we all can do is give what we can and smile at the small joys in life.
