Humin.

My God, has the world become a cold place. The shocking outcome of our Presidential Election, the bombing in Syria, the Religious hatred that's spewing across our country, the issue with the Dakota Access Pipe Line.....all these unfortunate things taking place! When I step outside, I can feel the tenseness in the air. People's energies are like magnets. I get anxiety just walking into the supermarket (I've never checked out so quickly in my life). So, before I go to sleep each night, a million things are racing through my mind. I'm thinking about the future and what it might hold now that we will have a bigoted and inexperienced celebrity as our president and how that may affect me as a Arab woman. How will it affect my son. Will it even?... I see videos on social media every day about the poor innocent children, either being injured or dying in Syria. It truly breaks my heart and, man, does it make me feel so damn small.... Who am I, and what can I do to put an end to all the wrongs in this world. I can only hope and pray that others rise up and care enough to make a difference. I am molding my son the best way I can to ensure that he grows up to be a concerned and compassionate human being. The most important thing is that people learn to care about others, regardless of their background, race, religion, or status. Love. Why cant people just love?? It makes me think.... what if we all could share one belief? One kind of faith or "culture"?... Inclusive of all races and religions....All humans sharing and celebrating every holiday and festivity, including those which are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Atheism, everything. We could call one another "HumIN" (IN-clusive of all humans). Just imagine how it would be almost impossible to try and discredit or be biased against this type of practice. One might say, "I don't like "Humins", and it would make them sound foolish. Whether you think its silly or not, it's certainly something that can change the world and how people treat one another. I'll sit on this concept.
