Today I realized that I have a great fear. I fear that I have brought an innocent and wonderful child into a hateful and destructive world. My daughter is so innocent and blind to the bad things that people do in today's society, at the moment. She will be two in September. She will soon see for herself how hateful, destructive and cruel people really are. I know I can't shield her from all of it, but I am supposed to tell her when she asks? I am sorry, but not sorry that she was born.
I guess I kinda thought that maybe the world would open its eyes and realize we must do better.
As I watch the news, read the newspaper and listen to the radio, all I hear is about the bad stuff. The murders, the kidnappings, the abuse, the drugs and all kinds of bullshit that does not need to happen.
There are so many people who prey on children and torture them for fun. How in the hell can anyone hurt such a helpless little person? I just don't understand how it all happens.
Then you have people who prey upon the disabled. What in the hell goes through these peoples minds?
I just needed to rant, it has made me so unhappy and so distrusting of this society. I worry about sending her to school, to church and other places where we are supposed to trust the people we leave our children with. Yeah right!
