If I look back at just the past decade, things have changed (for those like me who sit back noticing everything goin down around them, literally!) so so much. That is the first thought that came to mind when you reminded readers that right now, especially, take time to love one another more than ever. You must overlook the snide remarks and cruel things you hear in that place of dark souls, because in order to get by many people have given up their hearts in order to simply not feel and be cold inside. I addressed that in my letter as well. Ive personally dealt with making that mistake, although I was more cold hearted toward my own self than ever to others. I just wanted to be left alone, but never went out of my way to make jokes about horrific circumstances like mass shootings etc. I agree with you when you say the place you must dwell is a dark one, in many more ways than one I believe. Please realize how important it is, and what it says about you and who you are, that you find this repulsive when you see their cruel behavior/remarks being said as jokes. Hold onto that, which I dont think will be a problem from what I have saw just thus far, because you have managed to not shut down and become too hardened inside to care about your surroundings- even if they are going on on the outside as well because this world can be pretty crazy out here, and it does not get any better with time it seems. During my lifetime I have seen so much change about how people interact, some have improved while other aspects went right downhill and were totally forgotten. It seems the good things out here do not stay "in peoples minds" for long like they probably should. By the time problems/issues and possible answers are even addressed, they are long forgotten by the public more and more. That is, if the public even knew about them to start with. I could tell you many things and even send you books on topics that occured right here in the U.S. half of which while we were growing up or were teenagers ourselves, that nobody hardly even knows of because its so rarely talked about. But in order to come up with a solution it needs to be talked about. I agree with you and send best wishes, kind thoughts and much love to the people in Colorado as they find ways to deal with and internalize this tragedy, especially for the families of the victims and the survivors as well. Always, C.C. <3
