What is troubling you the most at this moment?

I read something interesting on Threads earlier in the day that resonated with me a little, and not in a good way (but not necessarily in a bad way either, I suppose.)

I hope I can do it justice with my explanation because I got caught up in work and didn’t have a chance to save it.

The United States of America, where I live, has a history of change and violence. All major changes have started with peaceful protest, but that alone was not enough and the only way it made a serious impact was when things turned violent. It didn’t matter what the change was, someone always got hurt in the end.

The part that resonated with me comes from this next part.

So, in the world of today, for all who are wishing for change and calling for peaceful demonstrations of protest, where do you stand when you’re expressing those desires? Do you intend to stand among the people that are taking the risk, or are you going to be casually standing on the sidelines as you preach, all while knowing what could come if history is allowed to repeat itself?

Someone always gets hurt in the end.

I just wish people could show each other respect and tolerance, and let one another live and thrive without the need to hurt. Sadly, that is not the world we find ourselves in.
