I saw a video clip of this on the news this morning.
It truly hit home.
I've been worn down, and let my feeling and concerns become cold wax, (waxed over cold) regarding the wars and consequences of wars that our country has chosen to be in....I cried near daily in my prayers for all the military people involved and for their families for about 6 years....but then, it became "easier" to handle all the deaths and families left behind....the soooo many deaths, so many sad families by feeling less....by letting myself feel less, by giving up the God given gift of empathy that I had been endowed with....I just couldn't cry any more....it was wearing me down, both physically and mentally...I let myself become "waxed over cold", emotionless....
that's sad, in and of itself....with time and repeated tragedies....makes the tragedy, LESS of a tragedy.
then...this morning....watching this on the news....my wax melted....I could FEEL again....and the sadness of war was overwhelming again....and ....I cried....still am crying.....
I am so sick of war, and rumors of war....it'[s time to end all this warring....honestly, what good does it do?
