How's the World? Messy...

When I hear stories of the suffering that happen around the world every day, it makes me sad and very often angry at mankind, although once I think about it more, I know that not all humans are evil: only a very small majority is. Additionally, I am overcome with feelings of insignificance and helplessness, because I know that no matter how hard I or anyone else could try, every instance of injustice can never be solved in our lifetimes. I know that my sympathy does nothing to help people across the globe. I think that as Catholics, one thing we can do to fight injustices is to pray not only for victims, but also pray for the strength to take a stand against it. It is hard to fight such large-scale problems, but it is what we must do, and praying will give us that strength. The articles stresses that we must also keep in mind injustices when we vote or become involved in causes. I believe that we should try to picture ourselves as the victims, and is that way we can see how badly we need to fight for others.
