Many times, when people get scared, they start pointing fingers.. I see it every day… pointing fingers and passing blame when life gets difficult or things don’t quite go as planned. Maybe it’s human nature? I even catch myself doing it sometimes. It must be “their” fault why we suffer…. It’s “them” things are like this. Someone is always to blame. Often entire groups of people are blamed and dumped on. But I don’t think life works quite like that..

Unchecked and unchallenged thoughts and beliefs quickly spiral out of control and nothing good ever comes of it. We must realize we are all in this life together and our actions or even our inaction effects everyone on the planet.

I try to remember what Anne Frank once said

“I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.”

Personally I try to wrap my life around believing this; but it’s becoming more and more challenging as I watch how some of our fellow humans treat others… There are so many that get treated as if they were less than garbage… less than human. It’s almost unbearable to watch it all play out, especially when you are powerless to really do anything about it.

Many times when people feel they are robbed of their dignity, they lash out and say or do things maybe they shouldn’t. I know it’s challenging, but we must consider the reason for everything… because there always is one… I refuse to think that 100% of the people on the planet are just self serving a$$holes who don’t care how others suffer… Trust me, I know there are people out there who are just pure evil… they ARE self serving most of the time and have zero empathy for their fellow man. I’m just not sure how to even approach that or how I even feel about it. Honestly, I can’t even get my mind around someone with those qualities or who feels that way.

But for everyone else, we must go deeper. There are answers out there to what ails us. But we must be on the same frequency as the answers to receive them… and that will never happen when we scapegoat others. It just won’t.
