What is going on with our world!?! Am I the only one who feels this way ?!

Guys... so many crazy things happening right now.. the economy being crazy.. good people dying.. apparently they just decriminalized pedophilia in Greece.. people are giving Ted Talks about it ... like I just can’t wrap my brain around it....I’ve had so many injustices in my personal life.. one of my clients demands I come into the office.. they’ve all had corona.. I just got it myself... and they told me it was okay to come in.. I still have residual effects... and after a 6 week healing period my boss came in Friday sat at my computer and told me he tested positive..burped in my face and gave me a fist bump. Told me that I should wash my hands... they don’t require masks... now I’m having symptoms again...and to top it off I just had a guy with severe road rage roll down his window and point a fire arm at me... I called the police.. they weren’t even concerned.... all of the race stuff going on.. people on such extreme sides of politics..no room for middle grounds...no one can get along....people in our everyday lives are being so hateful to each other.. I’m looking for new clients but like my double degrees and 12 years history in marketing isn’t good enough... I have an autoimmune and have been to like 10 different doctors over the years.. some of which have said it might be psychosomatic (basically in my head).. another ordered a bunch of tests and then retired 3 weeks later not giving me my results or money. Just taking my money and giving me a bs answer..all of the people being killed in Chicago...children I might add ..the Boston marathon perp getting off the hook ...My angel of a best friend who’s pregnant just got left by the man she thought was the love of her life.. she waited 7 years to find him, was celebate.. a big Christian.. and he cheats on her with his ex girlfriend...leaves her to be a single mom...I also just recently had every piece of jewelry robbed out of my home with zero recourse.. my mom told me it was my fault ..I should’ve secured my house better.. now we aren’t talking...like And back to the other stuff all the crime in this world... it’s just hitting me all at once... the world is upside down... and I don’t know what to make of it..this is just the tip of the ice berg ya know.. and I’m one of the lucky ones I think...very very lucky in the scheme of things.. I’m lucky to have my daughter and husband and to be alive.......I just sometimes wonder if we are going through a rapture or end of times... I pray every night.. I want to be a force for good.. but My worry is starting to overtake some of my faith... I can’t help but ponder on all the injustices and craziness going on in our world...anyone else feel this way? It feels so good to put my thoughts into text... thanks for reading. Sending love to anyone in need of it.. praying for our world.

I have followed your trials and tribulations for a long time. I know you wish in your heart to be a force for good in this world. That is why you have had such trials. You stood by your husband through very tumultuous times and that says a lot about your character. Not surprised all that is going on in the world has pierced your heart. I am of the belief that those of us that see beyond our comfort zone are being purified in the fire to be a force to help when things really get out of control. Hang in there and I know it's difficult to trust the process but it is what we are supposed to do.

@curiosi oh my gosh this is such a sweet way to look at it.. really reframed my way of thinking... I really appreciate this perspective and will try to keep thinking of this when I get down.. thank you again

@curiosi Yes he is doing much better. I’m so glad we made it through to a brighter spot in our relationship. Thank you for following and encouraging me in the kindest way always. It means so much to me

1. If your boss tested positive, he should be in quarantine.
2. Someone pointed a gun at you and the police were unconcerned? Where do you live? Was there a "peaceful protest" going on and the police were reluctant to come to your location?

Yes and yes.. I live in Texas.. where sometimes having a concealed fire arm is completely normal but ya I tapped my brakes because he was on my tail AND honking... and he pulled up right next to me rolled down his window and pointed it at me.. I sped up and pulled into a huge gas station...for the record I regret tapping my brakes.. never again......and yes if you look up Texas, that’s the attitude here.. people don’t care if they get it...or infect others. it’s the Texas way right now. The “Only the strong will survive” mentality,. I personally don’t feel strongly about shutting down the economy.. but I do think people need to wear masks and quarantine if they tested positive...and take precautions.. a lot of people where I’m from strongly disagree with that. like I said.. the Texas way.. but not all of us are like that.. and it’s not political.. I know republicans who feel the way I do about it..thanks for your input! And giving me the chance to clarify @ProfessorPlum77

@Brassm0nk3y If someone tested positive, they should quarantine. Our mayor was positive and did it.
When I get a tailgater, I pull over and let them go. Lots of times, I end up right behind them at the next traffic light.

Breath!!

Listen to Findhorn Retreat.

Ask yourself, "What's the problem right now?".

Recite the serenity prayer.

I live in Greece and know nothing about the paedophilia thing you mentioned, could you provide your sources?
Brassm0nk3y · 36-40, F
I saw it on social media.. that apparently they have decriminalized it and classified it as a mental illness, implemented rehab programs..I believe a woman gave a TEDX talk about it. Great to know that you live there and can verify this isn’t true?@HannibalAteMeOut

@Brassm0nk3y I searched a little bit about it and apparently that's just a hoax because people found out that Tom Hanks became a Greek citizen recently. They thought he was given citizenship because the state "protects pedophiles" but in reality he has been trying for long because he loves Greece and nothing more. Just people with their assumptions spreading false rumors.
