What is wrong with me? [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2024-09-18  

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?
