What life does to you

We are brought into this world being innocent and compassionate; but, as we know, life happens.

On daily basis I get absorbed by my personal problems not appreciating what I have while some innocent people out there are getting killed in the name of religion or politics or for any other lame reason, I don’t know how this makes me feel. I don’t know if I should feel sad and sit there idle lamenting the current atrocities and brutalities of the world or move on with my life and try to be more of a positive existence in my own immediate life reflected on others around me.
