life overwhelms me

the truth is…life overwhelms me. there i said it.  i only said it here because i just have 2 followers, neither of which i know personally, and am sure that my "bare all" will most likely go unseen. in the safety of that i can truthfully, consciously, boldly say-- LIFE, not necessarily my own life confines, but LIFE, in and of itself, overwhelms me.
Im finding myself sad more than happy these days. i feel sad for all the neglected children and their absent parents. i'm sad for the amount of addictions. sad that there are people in the world who feel they have some sort of right to take another life, or a person, or a person's virtues. I'm sad that we don't know each other anymore, and even worse, don't want to. I'm sad that we put money before health, money before goodness, money before everything. I'm sad we tolerate wrong and discourage right, and have such blurred lines anymore no one knows right from wrong anyway. sad that we censor teachers and pastors and honorable parents, but give freedom to media, songwriters and vulgar performers. I'm sad that we've replaced "have a nice day" with STFU and GTFO.
its heartbreaking that young girls are cutting themselves with razorblades and starving themselves to be prettier.  I'm sad that we hate police, justify criminals, encourage pornography and poke fun at virgins. sad that our best sellers and box office hits are usually horror films and books on satanic elements and witchcraft.
People, us, we…we're all becoming cynical, mean, hateful people and it's sad. Oh sure, we have our moments of nicety. But the balance is too far over the line. One only has to read the daily news, turn on the tv, or take a drive on a bust freeway to see the severe imbalance.

It is exhausting to have to keep my guard up constantly. The stress of this life overwhelms me.
