Engaging the World

“The world is going to hell” He said looking at me like he expected a contrarian response. “And I wish more people would see that. But nobody seems to care although I get it, as if there’s anything anyone can do about it” “Whatareyagonnado” I replied. And then said to myself “perhaps this one might [...]
