Mean Cruel World

            We teach to love, to be gentle, kind and considerate; and yet every corner I turn, every paper I read I am sadden by the self-destruction of the human race. We are at war with different countries, other countries hate us; and on a smaller scale we are killing and hurting one another in our own cities and towns. If that isn’t bad enough look at how families are become more dysfunctional, unloving and unable to cope; parents lose control beating their children.

            Psychologist, doctors and social workers alike look at different situations today, and give it a name, we have gotten used to the depressed, those who live there lives full of anxiety; and worse those with a chemical imbalance cause them to be bi-polar. As the human race advanced phobias were seen, diagnosed and treated; the latest one is co-dependency.

After reading about this “disorder” written by different authors I must say that I saw it as a way to say care for you and forget the rest of the word. Thus making our world  a mean cruel place to exist. Co-dependency is described as helping people beyond the call of duty. Some say it is getting too involved in someone else’s personal life; but if they let you in, I am sure it is because they need support and guidance. It is easy to walk away from someone who has issues, some one who is reaching out to you; but it is not so easy when that person is you. While it is true one must take the time to relax, and care for themselves, it is cruel to ignore love ones out there looking to you; reaching to you. Hoping that you can help them find the answers, the way. My point is that being too kind and helpful has been defined as a disorder; to me it is just another excuse that enables others to be cold, mean and cruel.            

Love one another as I love you. Treat others, as you want to be treated. Learn to be fair. These are all things many of us have heard through out our lives. Take care of love ones it is not a disease but you must always remember to stop and smell the rose and take time for you.
