This is a rant.
I have seen many news stories lately on hate, religion and war. History repeats present in many forms. Wars because of religion. Hate because of religion. Wars because of Hate. Religion based on Hate. It is this cyclical mess the world cannot get out of. I tend to shy away from the news, CNN or any other source that brings news because it just isn't positive anymore. Everyone is fending for themselves. It seems the only time people come together is when there is a catastrophic event or a fundraiser/marathon/ awareness month. Right now, there is a war on what kind of healthcare America should provide. The reason why we don't have the healthcare system France, Spain or Sweden has is because there is no compassionate care in America, it is all about the bottom line. TV shows such as Grey's Anatomy are basing story lines on this, Seattle Grace can't give a test because it is $5000 and who is going to pay when the patient cannot afford? I understand that there are costs associated with healthcare and it is a business like anything else, but to be afraid to go to the dr. because of affordability scares me. I have seen bills from my son's checkup on a region and it wasn't pretty. I could of bought a used car with the 5 hrs he was in the hospital (most of the time waiting) and there were no operational procedures done.
I am no expert on War, Religion or Government Affairs, but what I do see is Hate. I have seen it when gay marriage wasn't granted legal in CA when it was already legal for that time window. Isn't LOVE of another person regardless of their gender enough? LOVE is so hard to find these days, I myself have been through the struggles of finding LOVE. Religion has made these guidelines that it has to be between a man and a woman, because the bible told us so. I am all for religion, free belief system, that is why America has the freedom they have, but when any hate of another is involved it makes me sad.
My conclusion on hate is we live in this divided world. I am not so sure how long it will take to bring us all together but we cannot let a catastrophe or casualties in our system bring people out of their bad reasoning of the world.
