The world has been hearing a lot about tragic happenings in the world. The mass shooting in Orlando. ISIS. A two-year-old being snatched by an alligator on Disney grounds. It seems that everywhere, people are arguing what caused these awful things to become even an idea, let alone anything that would come to pass.

It seems to me, that much of this can be attributed to hate.

ISIS, as mentioned earlier, is becoming something to fear for many Americans. This fear has begun to impact not just us as a nation, but specifically many people that are thought to be associate with ISIS because of their race or religious beliefs. Many have talked about citizens of the United States proclaiming loyalty to them, which has made us as a nation paranoid. I cannot help but draw a comparison to the Red Scare. Multitudes of people were accused of being communists, and anyone that was curious as to what it was- not interested in joining, simply curious- was immediately of questionable morality by anyone that happened to find out. Now, many people that consider themselves Muslim are under fire because so many are assuming that because they are the same religion that ISIS claims to be, they must be in league with one another. Obviously this is not true, but it spurs monumental amounts of hate- both from Americans towards Muslims and vice versa.

The man that caused the disaster at Pulse in Orlando, Florida, Omar Marteen, did so because seeing two men kissing angered him. And officials are saying he called 911 to pledge loyalty to ISIS. Many people are sending what condolences they can, but then turn around and argue endlessly to try and find a solution.

"We need more gun control!"

"We need to find a way to shut down ISIS!"

Lots of people are speaking out, but how many things are getting resolved?

Even events not on an international scale are stirring up hatred. Since the beginning of 2016, a child has fallen into a gorilla enclosure in Cincinnati, and a small boy was attacked by an alligator when he wandered too close to the water while he and his family were going to Disney. While many are wondering about the thought processes of those involved, others are saying that the media and even those handling the incidents are pulling the race of the families into the matter. The boy attacked in Disney was white, and the other was black. The parents of the latter are being called into question and even their records are being pulled, especially because many were outraged at the gorilla being put to death as a result. Meanwhile, we as a nation are sympathetic to the parents who lost their child in gorilla. Granted, one of the children did not survive their encounter. But people are saying that these differences are heavily highlighted because the races of the families are different. They believe that the family in Orlando has been given more sympathy because of their skin color, and the opposite is true for the family in Cincinnati.

Now, I do not possess any solutions to any of this, but as I've watched all of this, all I can see is the amount of hate. Towards the Islamic community. Towards the LGBT community. Towards people of other races, beliefs, anything that makes them different from anyone else, there is probably at least one human being that will hate them for it. While the amount of hate in our hearts grows larger, more violence will come. More arguements. And guess what? Even more hate. I'm genuinely concerned that all of this hate brewing in our communities and in our minds will be another disaster tomorrow. Someone else being blamed because we love to blame.

I don't want to see more shootings, or articles about assault. I'm so tired of seeing people hurting people. I am estatic for the day we all come and work together instead of against one another.
