Time And Time Again

The weather is beautiful, the world isnt at peace, but we're all still here. There are so many things in this world that need to be addressed , but at the same time we all need to stop and smell the roses.
I used to wonder what that meant, but now i understand it fully. There's so much that i wish i could change about this world...no more starving children, no more war, no more disease, but i'm one person. But it does make you think , as a single person what can you do? Well, how about smiling at people passing by, how about giving a sandwich to a hungry person?
I'm still amazed by the response of hurricane Katrina to this day, and how so many suffered and died. We're supposed to be the top country of the world, but are we really? Everyone wants change, but when things start to change we all complain...why?
Looking back at our childhoods we all had dreams, some of us set out to accomplish those dreams, some of us haven't. I had many dreams as a kid, some a little unrealistic, but at least i had them and they helped me to develope into the person that i am today.
Sometimes i sit and watch the news (we all seem to do that) and all i can do is shake my head at the way some things are. 
Recently , for example, there was a story that had a lot of women nervous...
That story involved a man that was going around killing women. Granted those women were meeting up with him for whatever reason in hotels (that's not important) the point of the matter is they were meeting with him. Because of a gambling habit he assaulted some of them and killed one. So this beautiful woman died because this man wanted to "hit the casinos"...
Is that really the value of a life? Are we not more precious than that? I don't understand the reasoning behind that to be honest and a lot of people that i've talked it over with are just as shocked as i was when i heard it. Charles Manson was and is insane, but this guy LOOKS like any other person on the street. 
Hopefully thigns will change.......
