Future of USA
As I sit here contemplating the current state of our nation, I can’t help but feel a sense of witnessing unprecedented events. It’s disheartening to observe occurrences that, in my opinion, should never transpire in this great country. We are the United States of America, a nation meant to be united, working together, and resolving differences as our forefathers intended.
Politics never held much interest for me, and I often entrusted decisions to my peers, believing they had our collective future at heart. However, as I quietly observe from the sidelines, the unfolding of these events is one of the most distressing experiences I’ve encountered. Our country is being torn apart, and the level of division makes it uncertain which direction we are heading. The pervasive hate and anger directed at any President is unprecedented in my lifetime.
The sorrowful aspect is witnessing friendships turning into enmities and good people succumbing to greed, forgetting those who shaped them. In schools, teachers impose their opinions on young minds, and bullying goes unchecked. Hatred festers in workplaces, where the weak are singled out instead of being supported to grow stronger. Colleagues, in some cases, set others up for failure. One of the most troubling aspects is witnessing a person of faith succumb to the temptations of wealth, transforming from who they once were.
This situation prompts me to reevaluate the world. While I may not be able to turn my back on society entirely, I can choose to distance myself from elements I don’t want in my life, such as Facebook and other social networks that seem to control the world. The prevalence of people hiding behind social media is unsettling. I question the credibility of news media and lament how many are uninformed about global realities.
Despite being advised to entrust everything to God, I find myself wanting to withdraw and disconnect from this world. While acknowledging that I have control over my life and can improve it, there are still numerous barriers to overcome. The perennial question arises: “What do you want out of life?”
My answer is simple: I desire a world where people can unite without hate or fear, free from concerns about other planets. I seek a life devoid of pain and suffering, with cures for all illnesses that can unexpectedly extinguish life. Above all, what I desire most is peace.
