The whole entire world is in chaos. Democracy is being bombarded on all sides and is declining throughout our world. On the rise is chaos and hatred of anything that is different or even looks like it is different. Fear and hatred is running rampant. On the right, it is felt that if your do not believe as they believe then you have no right to exist. On the left, it seems to be the same, just the mirror image of their opponents. There seems to be no middle ground. Fear and hatred are being courted on all sides, with destruction seemingly to be the only way out. There seems to be no one person or country willing to find the middle ground at this moment in time. As a watcher, not really a doer, I see no way out. This world and this country is headed backwards and mutual destruction seems to be the only way out. HOPE I AM WRONG!!! I truly hope I am reading the tea leaves wrong, but I don’t think I am. Now is the time for all to wake from our destructive sleep and begin healing our world, our lands and ourselves.
