Healing Society

I was just thinking, about one of my fears, which is "what if my life doesn't get better? What if I try my best, and still don't succeed?"

It starts in childhood. We learn about limitations in a disempowering way, because we immediately are faced with a world that is only good to you if you are "behaving", and sometimes not even then. People grow up in an angry world, and become angry themselves, which leads to things like crime/violence. Many people who are charged with crime are out of control internally, because there is so much anger about the world and unkind circumstances growing up. I do believe that we need law and enforcement in the world that we're in, but the way this nation and almost all others deal with criminals causes more harm than good. One day in jail/prison, as it is, is too much. Furthermore, there are nations in the world that treat criminals humanely, and see far better results for those people, and far less crime. 

So, how can we succeed in this world if we feel disheartened? That is something I deal with sometimes, and I am now taking productive steps to deal with. I am building faith that I will ultimately succeed, because no matter what happens I will try to do my best. Praying for success for myself, and you, dear reader. ✌🏾🫶🏾
