I want to know, is anybody else sick and tired of how our world has become? How superficial it is, how everyon?

There are some very ugly things in this world, but I wouldn't trade this life for anything. I struggle just like most other people do. Thankfully, I don't have it near as bad as many others.

I'm raising kids, and it's so hard to toe the line between being over-protective and vigilant. I've been robbed and raped. I've been beaten by a man I loved.

But there are so many things, small and significant, that I wouldn't want to have missed. My sons' first smiles, my husband's kisses on my forehead, my mother-in-law's goofy laugh, my nephew's excitement at anything Batman, my boss's accolades for a job well done, the thank you from the guy at the corner store, the tears of gratitude in that young mother's eye when I gave her dying child a teddy bear, the little girl with Down's syndrome that I used to teach being so happy when she wrote her name, my grandfather's last breaths as I held his hand. All those things are so precious to me.

I'm sorry the state of things has you so tired of this world, but try to focus on those things that bring you happiness or contentment or fulfillment. There is so much beauty among the ugly.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
