I am struggling
I don’t care what religion people believe in.
I don’t care about the color of their skin or mine.
I don’t care about their gender or sexuality.
I am not Patriotic in any way.
I am certainly no nationalist.
I cannot, I don’t, I regard any such deliberation as a pure waste of time.
What the hell is wrong with me?
I cannot stand people suffering.
Why?
I don’t understand the need to define people as something or other.
Why do others care so much?
Who told them to?
I hate war and anything to do with it.
I cannot see sides, all I see is the wounding and death of the innocent.
Could someone tell me why I should take sides?
Who should I believe, the strong, the self-styled righteous?
Does anyone know?
The rich and powerful are merely human, aren’t they?
Do I have to admire them?
Why?
The older I get the more I seem to be detached from this societal make-believe.
What about compassion?
What about Empathy?
What about love?
What about our biosphere?
Can't we even care about that?
The reasons for hatred seem boundless.
They are divisive erroneous, self-serving, and evil fiction
Is it really about money and power?
For whom?
Why?
As I say I am struggling.
All I can do is be true to myself

PS I try to understand, I do, perhaps that is my fault?
