I Fear For the World

I think my biggest fear, is of what is already happening in the world. There is genocide and crimes against humanity happening as I write this post. No one is going to deny that, and those who would are a part of it. But in relation to to that I fear that I won't be able to make a lasting impact, a difference the the way people view the world in order to raise the quality of those people's lives. So often you hear people complain about the state that our country is in, that we no longer have any freedoms, that we're paying taxes out of our noses, but is this really that much of a concern? I tend to argue that it's not. I tell people I don't care about US politics, and they are shocked, even concerned. Instantly they are lecturing me about the importance. But I wait until they stop and I tell them that I understand that things have been "better" here, but somewhere else in the world people are being murdered in large amounts, and to me helping them is of greater importance. So my fear is that people will continue thinking the way they do, and won't learn to put the well fare of others before their own luxuries.
