#WhatILearntThisWeek

Medina, Bagdad, Istanbul, Colorado, Syria, Iraq, Belgium, Yemen, Paris… when will it end! Probably never 🙁

Sometimes it is hard to know if love will indeed concur all. People who are positive and full of love don’t go and violently force their positive views on others. However there is a HUGE amount of vocalisation of hatred in the world right now and with their hatred they are taking and maiming so many lives.

I’m not sure love is the answer any more. I don’t think that sitting back and passively loving everyone around us is having a strong enough effect on those broken and damaged people who want to kill anyone whose beliefs differ from their own.

It seems that the problem is only getting worse and I’m not sure what the answer is. I just know that no one seems to be able to stop it.

I don’t want to have to draw another dripping heart illustration but I know I will – and sooner rather than later. Our prayers and good thoughts don’t go far enough to effect change. Can anyone come up with a brilliant idea as to how we can fix this problem? I don’t want to feel as if the world is going to shit… and it’s getting harder and harder not to let that state of mind creep in. I’m keeping it at the front door but it’s knocking louder and louder.

Love is isn’t enough – but it doesn’t mean I’ll stop putting it out there.
