WHY

Sometimes the world can be so cold. I read tonight about a woman who was murdered and her seven month old fetus was stolen and subsequently died. They just found her other three children...also murdered. My only consolation is that those babies are now with their mommy. I cannot understand what would drive someone to do something so horrible. Those precious little babies and their precious mommy. Though it is very difficult sometimes, I try to continue to watch the news and keep up to date with what is going on. I am truly saddened more times than I am empowered by watching the news. However, what kind of person would I be if I just ignored what is going on around me. I often go back and forth between ignorance is bliss and knowledge is power. What kind of power does knowledge give you when you are powerless to do anything about the knowledge you have attained. I have to admit that life was much easier when I was not aware of what was going on around me. Maybe it is because when you begin to become aware of the atrocities around you, you suddenly feel the need to do something about it. I am glad that I am spending my time trying to make a difference now rather than worrying about getting to the tanning bed, or whitening my teeth, or dying my hair blonde, or waiting for the "perfect" man to come along. However, I am saddened in my unblissfulness state of knowledge. There is only so much one person can do and then we just have to be optimistic that someone else will come along and pick up where we left off. May angels surround those precious babies and their mommy in a sweet reunion in a blissful eternal afterlife. Goodnight sweet angels!
