There are no Premier League games today. Usually Saturday is game day for me. Instead Europe is playing in the FA Cup so the Premier League has a weekend off. No football for me. (Manchester United play tomorrow,...) So it doesn't feel like Saturday to me today. I am still waiting to hear back from that mobile vet I called this morning. I don't actually expect to hear from them until Monday. But until then I will feel unsettled. I don't like knowing my Maggie could be in pain,...
Anyway,... So instead of football, I have been watching world news. There are so many tragedies and natural diasters and man made wars going on right now. I don't know if it's just me, but it feels like the world is imploding. Every country,... has something terrible going on. It's like God is angry and saying "I'll show you". Wildfires,... tsunamis,... earth quakes,... the war in Europe which seems to be bleeding into other countries. YouTube news is nothing but tragedy today.
Of course the biggest headlines being the wildfires in LA. My heart literally breaks for these people. How must it feel to watch from afar on your doorbell camera or the news, at your own home being razed to the ground by these infernos. It must be devastating. And it's still going. I think we are on day 5 now. And five fires have ravaged the community. Thousands and thousands of people have been displaced. It really does look like a dystopian world.
My heart feels for these people. I live in poverty so I know what it is like to lose everything. I lost everything over a period of time ~ years ~ and it was devastating that way. To lose everything overnight must be overwhelming. I don't think it matters if your a rich celebrity or a middle class family. It doesn't matter what you own or how much your worth. Losing your entire home and everything it contains is devastating to everyone who will experience it. Rich or poor,... these people are living a nightmare right now. There lives have been ripped apart.
Why is there so much destruction and heartache in the world right now? Has it always been there and we just didn't see it and the internet has now brought it all to light? Or is there more going on? I feel like we are facing some kind of Armageddon. God is angry and wants us to smarten up. I don't know. It just feels like the world is falling apart.
I could be looking at this differently of course as my situation is pretty depressing. Maybe I am just a pessimist. But I think even optimists are shaking their heads right now in wonder. What in the actual f**k is going on? Just look at the headlines today,... nothing but tragedy and evastation all over the planet. What is going on???
I own't even start on Trump. Just for context and where I stand politically ~ I HATE Trump. And right now he is behaving like a man mentally ill with Bipolar. He is having grandious ideas and rambling on about things that will never happen. He is behaving like he is GOD playing monopoly on the world stage. The man needs a good long stay in a mental facility and put on medication. He has literally become delusional. And his thoughts are DANGEROUS to others in this world. In my opinion this man needs to be stopped.
Just so much,... so much evil and depravity and tragedy,....
I ended up turning the news off. I am depressed enough without taking on the heartache of all these folk in California. It is making me too sad to watch. I wished I could help. But what can I do?
So I pray,.... I just pray for these people.
And the animals. It is upsetting me to know that I'm sure some animals didnt' make it out of those fires. Sad,.... I love my animals and I hate to think any perished. I hope they all got out. I saw scenes of people dragging horses through smoke ~ it was awful.
I think I need to move on to a comedy. I can feel myself sinking into a darker place. So I will change over to Gogglebox. I always laugh out loud with this show. I have to keep some balance. I get so depressed so easily. I have to work at keeping myself from slipping. So I try and watch comedy. Gogglebox,... Graham Norton show,... anything that makes me laugh.
My world doesn't have a lot to smile about right now,... so I really need to work at finding something to laugh at.
