Day 21 - What makes me sad?

There are lots of things that make me sad. The number one thing being seeing my kids or husband sad and down. However, my sadness about the world in general all comes down to one thing - ignorance.

Ignorance is what fuels intolerance, fear, racism, and discrimination (to name a few). Not only does it make me sad, it makes me angry, particularly when used to oppress and deny people of their basic human rights.

I don't like thinking about things that make me sad. However, I acknowledge that 'brushing it under the carpet' for my own happiness does not make the issue go away, and to be honest, probably diminishes the issue somewhat.

What makes you sad?

Til next time.....
