Where will the madness end? This past Friday, July 22, 2016, a lone gunman killed nine people and injured 16 others in Munich, Germany. Another tragic event to add on to the unrelenting chaos occurring in our world today.
What does it take for people to realize that there is something seriously wrong in this our world right now? There are things, evil things, out there running a muck. Recently, it has been that something horrifying happens every week. We saw 49 killed in the shooting in the Orlando nightclub, we saw the viral videos of African American men being shot and killed by officers, we saw the attack on Dallas PD leaving five officers dead, we saw 84 people being run down on Bastille Day and now we see nine dead in Munich. When is enough going to be enough?
CNN reported that eight days after the attack in Nice, France, a teenager on a German train felt inspired by the ISIS attack and stabbed passengers before being shot dead by police. If the evil in this world is so easily inspired to take action, then why can't the good in this world be just as easily inspired? Why is it taking so long for people to use their voices and attempt to make change in such disturbing times?
When traumatic events used to occur in the past, I would say, "What is wrong with this world?" but these past few months have me saying "What isn't wrong with this world?" Everyone says "Pray for Orlando," or "Pray for Nice," pray for wherever an attack has occurred. But now, more than ever, I think it is time to pray for the whole world.
