The World Is Still Turning

I've been so focused on my health issues that I've barely glanced at the world situation lately.  Apparently life, death, and taxes continue no matter what you're focused on.  Too much news time is still being wasted on Trump's ex-mistresses.  Who cares??  Wars are still ravaging many countries and we seem unable to stop the mayhem.  This has been going on forever and doesn't seem to have slowed as of today.  People still fight and kill over greed and religion even if it means they destroy their country in the process.

I'm always trying to figure out why we're here.  Are we an experiment and we've failed or are we entertainment for some super race that dumped the worst of the human race here on earth because we couldn't stop fighting and killing each other?  Since wars have been waged from as far back in earth's history a we can go, we are a ferocious race that doesn't seem to get better over time...and lots of it.

We Canadians like to think we're a nicely socialized population and we are for the most part.  There are social rules we try to abide by but many or most of us still like to break those rules.  If I was living in one of those horrible wore torn countries, I'd still prefer to come and live in Canada, though.  We may have our faults but this is still a darned good country to live in.

Yes, the world keeps on turning no matter where we are or what we're doing.  Wars are waged and babies are born.  Careers are begun and funerals are held.  Now, if only each new generation would arise with gentler genes.
