Sometimes, I sit back and just ask myself, what has happened to this world? How did we become like this? Every time I open my phone, turn on the TV, or hear people talk, it feels like humanity is falling apart.
We live in a time where people take lives like it’s nothing. M***** happens every single day sometimes over arguments, misunderstandings, or even for no reason at all. It’s like human life doesn’t hold value anymore. When did we become so cold?
And then there’s something that breaks my heart even more, kids abandoning their own parents in old age homes. The same parents who raised them, fed them, sacrificed their dreams for them. Left behind like a burden. It’s heartbreaking. We’re losing respect for the very people who gave us life.
R*** is another evil that’s just everywhere affecting children, women, and even animals. I don’t even have the words to describe how disgusting and horrifying that is. How can people be so twisted? How do you hurt someone so innocent and helpless?
People are now fighting,literally to the point of death over parking lots. Yes, parking lots. What started as an argument turns into violence, and sometimes even ends with someone being k****** or paralyzed for life. Over a space to park a car. That’s how cheap life has become.
I feel like kindness is becoming rare. Compassion is being replaced by anger. Understanding is being replaced by ego.
We need to wake up.
We need to ask ourselves: where is our humanity?
Because if we keep going like this, what kind of world are we leaving behind?

A sad write but it seems that the world has always been such maybe we just never noticed. Wars from the beginning, thieves, murders is it possible we are just waking up?
