There have been times, especially lately where I feel like a whirling dervish with all of the upheaval strife and chaos happening.

Yes, there has always been societal issues, but it sure feels like a 10 fold increase. Is it the news media propagating it, or is the world itself a whirling dervish.

Every day there seems to be another catastrophe. From violent weather to human toll of war. It is overwhelming the tragedy that seems to be increasing that people are living through.

Then, I look around and see so much dysfunction on display that I feel there is something going on that is creating this lack of normalcy. I have a few thoughts of my own, but this is not at the forum that I want to get into that and debates on. I just want to bring an awareness and possibly some solutions that could help each of us individually. I believe if we make a small change, it will have a ripple effect to the greater mankind. Ripple effect has been defined as an abstract metaphor to describe how our actions (or Non- actions) reverberate throughout the physical and social world. We are all connected and these connections stretch like an incredibly interwoven and complicated tapestry. Each of us exists within our own tapestry. Thoughts and actions are like stones dropped in a pond and they create the ripples that travel and reach outward.
