Who are we?

I am sitting here watching the coverage of the incredibly horrible wildfires in the Los Angeles area, and I’m hearing such heartbreaking stories, and I then go on Facebook and I see two different worlds.

One world is about people feeling the pain of those affected, and of sending up prayers, and sharing ways to give, to help those who have lost their homes and all of their possessions. These people are expressing sadness, and are looking for ways to help.

And then…. There is the other world that is those who are jumping on a political bandwagon, already blaming the elected officials, and thinking that this horrible disaster is because one side didn’t seem to care enough. It makes me sick.

I am so disgusted and sad because EVERYTHING has become a divided political issue in this country. Even this, a horrible natural disaster of extreme dryness and strong winds spreading fire storms, has quickly turned into one side against the other. Instead of all Americans feeling empathy about other citizens going through such a life changing event, it is about who should have known better, and how some didn’t do their job, and…. Whatever….. it is so inappropriate…

If you can’t do that, then please, just stay off of social media. Because, really, you don’t look like a good person. You are showing us all how you have a hardness in your soul, not thinking about the incredible pain of others, and that you are too caught up in political games. Supporting a man with no soul.

It is sick.

STOP IT!!

Please. If you are going to to go on social media, at least show that you are a caring person and post something about feeling bad for those so effected, and offer ‘thoughts and prayers’ (like you do for gun violence) and have some caring for others.

Get over yourself.

Look inside.

I don’t know. How is it that some Americans have gotten so callous? Why are some so into themselves that they have to post heartless comments?

Thankfully, natural disasters bring out the helpers. Some instinctively jump right in, and they do what they can to help strangers, and they don’t think twice about it. Mr. Rogers’s mother said to look for the helpers. They are there.

But, others immediately jump in and make accusations. They blame. They find what went wrong.

Ugh. Go away.

Really. Who are we??
