A lot of people seem to think the world is going to hell in a handbasket.
As if…this was the first time life was unfair.
As if…this is the first we’ve seen violence in the streets below us.
As if…this is the first time a pandemic has circled the globe.
But you see, for many people who have lived in a “Hey, look at me because I’m so cool” bubble, this IS the first time they haven’t been shielded from the unpleasantness of their world. They’ve found that this thing called life can be messy, unpredictable, and crazy!
Well, aren’t you special?
This may come as a shock to many, but this is not the first time the world has been messed up beyond recognition and left people feeling lost and without hope.
Previous generations lacked the physical and material comforts that we take for granted and yet they continued to plow forward-through economic hardship, world wars, and devastating illnesses.
Flash forward to 2020, and we still suffer, only now we are emotionally and psychologically struggling to make sense of what’s going on in the world. Regardless of what you may think right now, the world has never been healthier or seen more racial equity.
