Today I’m sad. I’m sad for ALL the posts about: ALL dems or ALL repubs or ALL liberals or ALL conservatives. I’m sad about ALL X’s and ALL Y’s that are lumped together for whatever reason except venting and not problem solving. I’m sad for people who won’t take a moment to even try to look at things from the other point of view. I’m sad that people don’t trust science. I’m sad that people are promoted to jobs they aren’t qualified for. I’m sad for bosses that don’t think they need to know what their employees do each day. I’m sad for those employees. I’m sad for weather and climate and solar flares and meteors. I’m sad that Tech is spying on me. I’m sad for angry memes and bumper sticker politics. I’m sad when greed is more important than a life. I’m sad for people who are hated for being other or different or not the same. I’m sad for politicians that don’t know history. I’m sad for people who stop learning because it’s easy. I’m sad for people who don’t appreciate what they have. I’m sad for people that don’t have enough. I’m sad there are people that don’t know what sufficient is. I’m sad about judgment without knowledge and conjecture without context. I’m sad that hate is a thing. I’m sad that people think lying, cheating and stealing is ok. I’m sad about love ones lost. I’m sad that some don’t get that pass and suffer instead. I’m sad about a past imperfect and a future unsettled. Today I am sad. But I’m happy for tomorrow.
