For the last one week or so my kid sister has these moments where she paces back and forth as if she needs to talk to me about something. I ask her whats troubling her and she breaks to tears and all I can do is hold her close. The corpses across news and media... The devastation... Disease.. Deaths.. Theyve been upsetting her innocent mind. Shes afraid of the Brain eating amoeba... She is fearful of whats happening in society... Our country.. Our world. She overhears things.. And all these young children at impressionable ages are robbed of their childhood dreams and carefree lives. She is not allowed to watch certain shows or TV channels.. But it still reaches her. There has never been a respect for censorship or parental guidance in our country... And despite keeping a tight plug on her she worries with things that are buzzing about. I cannot stomach corpses or mutilated bodies. We cannot control everything happening in the world. But while there is bad... It allows goodness to exist. And while we do not have answers to why God doesnt mend broken hearts .. Homes or nations.. We have enough faith to accept He has ordained a better plan. It makes me uneasy thinking about the world we are leaving to beautiful children. This in no way implies I do not feel for parents who have lost theirs or that I am inconsiderate toward the grieving. I just wish each of us is a bit more sensitive and considerate toward the little people that have hopes for the future.
