Little hope for humanity

This world is frightening ... utterly frightening.  I am reminded often that there is little hope for humanity.  In Boston, families are morning the dismemberment &/or lose of their loved ones due to a senseless act of cruelty.  A marathon, full of happy people, running for one reason or another ... and some psychotic terrorist (not confirmed) has not one, but two, pressure cooker bombs explode at the finish line... twice the mayhem. Ridiculous.  I don't want to feel this but I do ... I hope they catch the crazed fool(s) & blow them up.  Why can't everyone just get along?  I work in an environment that I often make that exact statement "why can't everyone just get along?" and I get the same response "without it, we wouldn't have jobs" ... hey, I'm okay with that! Not that I'm okay with not having a job, but seriously, I'm okay with the fact that people would get along & there wouldn't be reason to have trials over some petty bull larky like someone trespassing on property, or someone's baby mama took something that wasn't theirs and pawned it for money that was used to buy drugs rather than clothe their child, etc.  I'm seriously okay with a world without that mess.  However, unfortunately, we don't live in that world & after acts that was committed today & acts that have been committed like this for centuries, I'm realizing that the only way to achieve a life such as that is to move to, or start, a commune.  I'm completely fed up with unnecessary drama, unnecessary violence & unnecessary cruelty.  I don't know where all the problems started or what to do to fix it ... all I know is that it's there & it grates my nerves like none other.  I see the worst of the worst on many occasions, and if I don't see it, I'm hearing about it ... and it will literally make you run home & hug your babies or want to go home & hide in your house with a loaded gun, just waiting for the next cracked out guy/gal to try to use your house as a way for them to get their next fix. I pray, often, that God will take these matters into his hands & will help it cease to exist ... but I'm reminded that the last time the world got like this, he flooded the Earth, only leaving one family behind (well, & one male and one female of every animal) but he promised to never do that again - so what will he do?  Because we all know he isn't going to take much more of this crap.  At least, I imagine he won't ... ... shoot, maybe he's already started the elimination process.  Maybe he's responsible for global warming?! All I know, is today's senseless act is gut wrenching ... literally makes me sick to my stomach ... and I hope that justice is served & these guys/gals find their place in a very fiery hot & humid environment ... just sayin'.  I don't want to think like that, but it is what it is ... and I've thought it, therefore, I've shared it.  Do unto others, as you would have them do to you ... but in this instance, do unto others, as they have done to you. 

(Shake #10: Hammurabi's code would be strongly warranted in many situations, but especially in today's case.)
