They think they are born into this world and things are handed to them on a platter and if they don't like what they end up with, then everyone else will have to pay for it. People seem to live in this bubble where in their head they can put nothing in but get everything out of it.
Another school shooting has taken place. Another 10 innocent lives have been taken, because someone didn't like what life dealt them and therefore thought everyone else was to blame for it, rather than taking charge of their own life and making something of it.
When did we stop respecting life?
It's a scary thought of bringing up children in a world where everything you've worked for can be taken away from you in a split second by someone how thought that you're life is worth no more than theirs, and therefore they can decide to take it. When did sending your children to school to get their education become a question of wether they live to see the next day. These are not normal times, when we have to fear for the lives of our children just trying to make something of their lives.
It saddens me as a parent, and a human, to think that this is the world we live in now. Not only do we have to worry about natural disasters, wars, illness and all the other wicked things that came out of pandora's box, we also need to worry about the fact that people no longer allow others to have happiness, instead the envy of others having more than us pushes people to do awful things instead of pushing them to work harder for their happiness.
My dad taught me the value of life and to respect all living things. If I can teach that to my children and see them grow up without something or someone cutting their life short I'll be happy with just that. That'll make my life.

Todella kauniisti kirjoitettu. Luin broidillesikin tän ääneen.
kiitos kohteliaisuudesta. Tuntuu vieläkin niin pahalta. Oma kotoisa suomi tuntuu niin turvattomalta!
