Has the World Gone Crazy?

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty. 

Gandhi 

I am trying my best to not give up on humanity. Every day I learn about a horrific event that  makes me lose hope. Just this past week the Islamic State militant group has claimed responsibility for three horrific terrorist attacks. There were the twin bombings in Beirut, the Parisian attacks and the suicide bomb at a funeral in Baghdad. Just looking at these three events, over 200 people have lost their lives because of IS this week.

As more news began to pour out about the attacks in Paris I found myself sobbing.  I began to think about the horrific things we as humans do to each other. We do it in the name of religion, patriotism, entitlement, and some false sense of racial superiority. We are suppose to be the superior species but we are the most barbaric. If you look at every species none of them do as much damage to themselves or to all of those around them like the human race.

Has the world gone crazy? No. We have always been destructive since the beginning of time. We have got to do better. We have to be the change we want to see on the earth. It might be hard but we cannot let the terrorist win. They want us to live in fear. They want us to turn against our fellow man. We have to unite. We have to let them know that they have not won and they will never win.  It is time to truly love and embrace one another. It time to start a love revolution. .

So I bid you farewell and leave you with this song.
