I know many can relate when I express that being aware of the world can become extremely exhausting. As soon as we turn on the news, we see the cruelty, suffering and insanity that pollutes our society. Even in our personal lives, we hear stories about friends going through difficult times or we watch our loved ones lose battles against terrible diseases. Although we try to watch the sunrise and hope for better days, something awakens us to the reality of the day again.
I have yet to find a way to deal with the awareness of what kind of world we live in. I envy those living under that naive umbrella think it is all alright, or the ones that accept that nature is cruel and it is in our spirit that we find the morality of our lives. The awareness of it all is exhausting. I can see why people want to become numb to it all or try to seek out some kind of understanding through religion,meditation or therapy . For me, it is only faith and certainty. Faith that God hears my prayers for a better world and certainty that all of this is temporary.
