The World..

Has anyone else noticed how crazy the world we live in is?
The economy is failing, people are voicing their ideas through violence, war is everywhere, even places we don't expect. Back when i was a kid, i was the stereotypical "Care-free" "live for the moment" child.
I always wanted to know about the world like the adults did. Now as im becoming more of an adult, i rather miss that blatant ignorance.
It seems like our whole world is on the brink of exploding to me at times, but everyday we laugh and carry on like nothing is wrong at all. Out there a kids my age, who were born into war, into genocide, into communities of fear and hate.
Out there, in a war many of us think we are on top of, people die every day. People our age.
And on the side we consider the enemy, people very similar to us who have grown up with such nationalistic and radical ideas (that were normal to them) are killing innocent people and Americans who THEY consider the "Enemy."
We dont understand that patriotism works both ways, and while, yes, their ideas can clearly be discerned as Wrong, its how they were raised, how they were taught, and how they act and think, its not correct to say its not their fault, as the judgment is not there, but we're all humans. Some are just "People of their time" doing the monstrous things they consider "normal."
Just recently, in Russia, a bomb went off in a crowded airport, killing some 30 people (I believe) and wounding hundreds. This just begs the question... WHY?
Whoever did it most likely had been brought up with that purpose in mind, but what is the thinking behind the attack? What could possess a mind to ruthlessly kill innocent men and women and children, for little or no gain?  Terror war is exactly what it says it is, Terrifying. Russia isnt the only place, for years now hundreds of innocent people in the middle east have been dying in similar attacks.
Countries are on the verge of war, threats are being tossed from protesters to Governments and vice-versa.  America sits here trying to dictate the actions of thousands of displeased Egyptians, who have every right to voice their ideas in assembly.
The world is like our lives, very few people follow through. And everyone is deluded by visions of grandeur towards their own country, "we're right, their wrong." An eye for an eye.
I realize im generalizing, but this is the tone the world has stuck, to me.
What can we do? Very little it seems, pray, voice ourselves. Refuse to be average, try to make a difference.
We complain about our lives when so many out there would beg to be in our situations. Id gladly trade.
For me, the day the seas of anger become calm is when the power of love becomes stronger than the love of power. (Call me a hipster, i don't care).
