A Moment of Reflection

As a child, life was much black and white. Distinct lines of assuredness. As the age has passed, the lines have been cracking. Too many holes in the walls. What was right, now has many exceptions. What was wrong, now seems to have many supporters. It truly has become a mass of grey. Are we living through chaos? The storm before the calm? Are we in the midst of humanity's decline or reckoning? Is a new species to take the worlds center stage? Is it just the birth of a new human paradigm for the ages to come? Too extreme? Perhaps. But the constant accounts of a world in pain, leave one to pause for a moment of reflection.
