I totally agree with you. In my country you can tell it by the way the leaders manipulate things and some fanatics couldn't realize.

Globally things are depressing and terrible right now. I try to focus on my family and my little world right here. We have enough to keep my mind busy, but not depressed. I do that because I cannot change the fact of the war in the Ukraine nor many other large global happenings. But I do pray for peace.

It's the same things that have always happened around the world. We're just more "plugged into" what's going on now because we know people from the places the terrible things are happening... Pretty and I send money and hope things will get better but know they probably won't. Stop paying so much attention to the horrible things. It's the only way to keep your sanity.

I know, the internet and social media has made us more aware of what is happening globally. But you are right - war is not new, neither is world strife, natural disasters etc. It is just hard to accept.

It's really depressing that there are all sort of terrible things happening around the world right now. There are times when I'm wide awake at night, wondering what would happen or how I could survive if a war or natural disaster broke out. I feel extremely grateful that I get to live well and peacefully at this part of the world

Although I'm financially struggling, I'm grateful that our family is doing fine and the country is in peace.

I was saying this to another mylotter no more than 30 minutes ago. All are focused on Ukraine and the African people are ignored. It is sad, humans always committed atrocities and they do not seem to want to stop.

Wars and atrocities have been around since the beginning of time. Ukraine is the latest in a continuing history of violence and aggression. Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone could live peacefully? But it seems there are always some with evil intent somewhere on this planet.

Sorry, to say there is no magic potion which will provide a cure.
