I spend too many hours indoors. I wonder if so often when we misplace our peace, if the answer is simply to spend more time outside. I say I wonder, but I already know what kind of person I become when I spend extended minutes under the sky. There I see the rest of the beauty, and it’s not that I forget the chaos of the day. It’s not that the challenges disappear or the discouragement dissipates.
It is hard to comprehend how much hurt is happening in this world and how many hearts are broken. In these trying times, we all suffer, but we do have options to accomplish healing without resorting to hate or revenge.
We can let what we’ve seen happen in this world especially this week make us feel angry, hateful, or resentful. Or, we can turn these tragedies into opportunities to create more peace and healing in this world.
If we let our hurt and pain turn into hate, revenge, and resentment, we don’t put ourselves in a position of strength to help anyone. We need to overcome our own anguish so that we can be a light in a time of darkness.
It isn’t easy, and people are at a loss for a solution, but we can all move together towards a world of unity and peace.
The media is so focused on hate and negativity which can create so much anger. I just see lives that were never given the chance they deserved to prove their innocence. I see people who are willing to protect and serve this nation despite the doubt and cynicism that the uniform is scarred by. I want to see a world that is more peaceful and loving.
So I took the time to reflect and block out anything that made me feel more anger and hate. Instead, I spent more time in prayer and solitude with the hope that I could in some way find the words to express how I felt so I could reach other people who are hurting and searching for faith.
How does it feel to sit on the roof upside-down and look to the ground? How does it feel if we can touch the sky? Peacefully living in this world is hard, full of injustice, pain and sorrow. Who is standing by my side? Who is supporting me when I am down? Where is everyone when I need them? Everything just feel so empty, as if we are living like a robot, listening to other people order.
Why can't we be free to share peace and love? Why people have to settle everything with fights, law, or war? We should be scared and repent on what we are doing, because we can always keep on return to this world if we do more sins.
