I’m sorry things are so messed up in Baltimore. I wish it was different. There is nothing I can do to change things there. I can talk about it and argue about it until I’m blue or red in the face. Nothing will change.
If I want to change things I have to start with myself and work outward one bit at a time.
A book I respect says, “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged.”
– Matthew 7:1-2

bothers me too.

I try not to let in sink in too deeply when humans insist on their basest form as the one they demonstrate to the world.

Me too. I can’t fix it.

We can just keep spreadin around love and hope to affect the balance… that’s about it.

Yes. I agree.

It hurts, as Ferguson hurt, as Los Angeles hurt, as all the mayhem of the 1960’s and ’70’s hurt.

I’m sorry that this behavior is being repeated over and over again — it seems to me we should have learned several lessons since the ’50’s and ’60’s! Yesterday was the 23rd Anniversary of the beginning of the Rodney King riots — a slightly different trigger, but the same issue — and a most shocking episode in the history of Los Angeles! We all wished then that we could do something, but it seems we haven’t learned the lessons!

Some of us have learned. Others not.
May 01, 2015 @ 18:07:10
Agreed, though far too few seem to have learned. Perhaps today’s developments will help.

It’s the old doing things the same way over and over and expecting to get a different result. Never works, but we just keep tryin’! 😦

Yes

So true, absolutely true.
May 01, 2015 @ 10:56:03
It looks like as if the US has not learned the lesson from long ago or MLK.
By these riots, the truth can never be heard.

Maybe one day.

It is sad, but you’re facing it with wisdom. Not much else you can do.
