life's perplexities

sometimes it feels like the sky is falling....right on top of me. or that the weight of the world is going to crush me.

In an effort to make myself more informed about what is going on in the world, I started listening to talk radio several months ago. I don't want to be ignorant. I want to have a clue. I want to know about issues so I can make informed decisions.

I'm not sure if this has been particularly "healthy" for me (my thoughts are really scattered and my sinuses feel like they have been pumped full of lead)

I want to be informed. I want to know what's going on, even though I don't understand a lot of it. I don't want to be naive. or oblivious.

You know that personality test, the "color code"? well. I am (or at least used to be, but I'm pretty sure I still am) WHITE. almost an exact even white/blue. with a difference of one number or so. WHITE=PEACE.

The more I listen to what is going on in the world, the more I think...there will never really be true PEACE in the world. "there must needs be opposition in all things". I get that. It's part of God's law...or plan, right?

But it still bothers me. People, will NEVER ever come to an agreement upon things.

Democratic, Republican, Independent, Conservative, Liberal, Gay, Straight, Christian, Muslim, Jew, Atheist....people will always disagree about something. Even little things. Take your kids to preschool? Not take your kids to preschool? Do you can peaches this way or that way? I bet you think YOUR way is right, huh?

There are so many voices out there. I feel overwhelmed. I need clarity. Everyone thinks they are right.

You can show two people the same exact picture and they will both see something completely different. I don't really know what the answer is.

What do you see?
