Good point. We just know about things faster now because of technology.

Whatever.<br /><br />I think her outlook is about right. My grandma complains that the world keeps getting worse, but I don't think so. We know more about it now, we have the news constantly telling us how much suffering is going on. But I don't actually think it's worse. When would you rather live, today or during the black plague? It's not that the world is getting worse or better, it's that bad things have always been able to happen in it, and some times and places just happen to have it worse than others. It's not a sign of the end times, like my pastors taught me, it's just us becoming aware of the suffering that has always happened.<br /><br />I'd also agree with her tenderness and sweetness comments. I think understanding that about people is an important part toward making friends out of enemies, and maybe helping to stop some of the suffering.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07382787889525110718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-23391406051390123472011-10-27T14:31:52.767-05:002011-10-27T14:31:52.767-05:00We don't have a choice, we have to be optimist...We don't have a choice, we have to be optimistic or else go on crying, yelling and complaining while more people are dying and in constant famine. <br /><br />We can be optimistic for a bit from time to time but we need to stand up and do it again. Or you can let your mind believe so while your heart and soul are always optimistic. <br /><br />I honestly don't know if the world is getting better or worse, but more people are dying while their death is avoidable and lots of us don't care or don't want to do anything anymore. <br /><br />I wish that the day would come when i detached from everything in this world and do nothing but helping the poor and the sick :(Wafahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533307419295995833noreply@blogger.com
