People

I just don’t understand how people can be so incredibly rude? It is so scary to raise a child in a world where rude posts/tweets/comments are “liked” and almost encouraged, but when people are genuine and positive there is no recognition. Now I’m not talking about any specific situation, just the world as a whole.

I’m scared to raise a child in our world. Our world where we think material objects are more important that sit down home cooked family dinners. Where winning at sports is valued more than a 4.0 GPA. Where TV is used to babysit. Where a 5 year old has a cell phone and Facebook!

I wish I knew how to change this world. I can only teach my child that life isn’t about money or material items; It’s about loving and being loved. I’m starting to believe in the “make love not war” movement. It’s just disappointing to watch the hate, the shootings, the sadness in the world.

Anyone else just sad about this?
