Living in Ignorant Bliss

It doesn't change the truth

I rarely watch tv or get on Facebook. Facebook has become this mindless stream of nonsense. It use to be where I went to keep up with what is going on in the world. Now it's perverted memes and what Joe ate for dinner.

Not once did I see a news article about what transpired Saturday in Buffalo when a man ok a kid open fired on a grocery store killing 10 people. Not one article! Not one prayer request nothing! It is as if people are pretending this didn’t even happen!

Pretending like something didn’t happen, and not acknowledging it doesn't make it any less true!

Take off your rose-tinted glasses! Open your eyes! The world is transcending into a society of hatred and violence and no one can be bothered with it because it doesn't fit into the way they want to live.

I can remember when acts of violence such as Saturday's tragedy would flood our news feed. Outpours of people speaking out against violence and racism would be the top topic.

Not anymore!

Just mindless self-absorbed people and all their fluff and stuff.
