Causal chain, it's up to you.

"But the more I see the less I understand

Watching as the water swallows the land

I'm starting to believe there was never a plan

That the world's gone mad

Something's out of order, out of place

Nothing we were taught is happening today

If you are the maker watching down

What a mess you're making on this town"- Missy Higgins

     Various events have caused me to slightly lose faith in humanity. But then there are those moments that bring hope back. Goodness does exist; and when we feel it has become lost, we shouldn't try to find it...we should create it whenever we can. 

    As much as I admire Missy Higgins, I must say that I disagree with her lyrics. She blames our creator for the problems in the world. I have yet to establish my belief system...but whether God is real or not...we cannot sit here and blame Him/It/She for the negativity  surrounding us. 

   I am extremely tired of people blaming God for their problems. Of course, as soon as they need something, they go straight to Him and feel entitled to every blessing they wish for. If God exists, He gave us a brain...He gave us choices...He gave us the ability to take responsibility for our actions and the consequences to follow. 

     We are a causal chain; what we do impacts the world whether we realize it or not. I have recently been investing more of my time observing the media. The media tends to deliver bad news often. It's everywhere. We need to change that. The world can't be perfect, but why not strive for it? It's up to each and every one of us. The world seems bad, but it's not. We get so tied up in the most meaningless things...that we miss beauty and goodness when it's directly in front of us.
