Every where is violence …

Everywhere there is violence. It doesn’t try to hide anymore. It boldly shows itself in newspapers, television, and in people’s homes.

Why does it seem as though it is around every corner? I don’t remember seeing violence so vivid as it is today. Is it that we have a greater communication system and it was always like this, or is it something that has seeped into the world until it grew so large that we could not help but see it?

My life, my world was full of violence; but not the rest of the world. My world was walking on eggshells, not daring to stir the sleeping violence; but looking out to the outside, others shared laughter and were carefree, everyone was happy. The world was safe compared to my world.

Now I am no longer in that violent world. Now it has moved outside from me. I would take it back to my world if I knew how; I’d make the world safe again for everyone else.

If I could. I would.
