I believe ultimately it is necessary to become aware of the general nature of our world, our nations, our 'freedom', but at the same time, I have found that constant saturation seems to drag me right down into the mud. I can see people judging this, saying I'm not spiritually evolved enough, or that I prefer to run away from the truth... Fine. But contemplate what such judgments say about you.

I cant agree with you more. It can really effect your everyday life and bleed over into your job and relationships. In my eyes spiritual evolution would indicate an increase in pain and sadness concerning the state of the world and the horrible things that are happening in these times.

It is the masses who think nothing of dead Iraqi's or those in Afghanistan who are deemed as acceptable losses or "collateral damage" and instead go about life as if everything is just peachy keen.

I cannot help but to think that what we are going through, is one of the most traumatic and yet enlightening times on this planet as if they are two sides of the same coin. I have watched uncensored war material and police brutality videos that had just pushed me over my capacity for HORROR an I wept like a little girl for hours and had to take a few days off.

If your not under some kind of emotional stress from all of this then you have either seen much worse in your life, or you haven't seen enough.

my two cents

You are right. How can you not feel for the children that have been affected.
The only thing they did wrong was to be born into such a horrific situation.

We do have to keep thinking that there will be much better days ahead for all
people of love. I know that the people that have suffered such pain and brutality will be looked after on the other side.
