Discouraged

I've been getting a bit discouraged lately. The topics I've been writing about lately have been pretty grim, and although reading about them is difficult, writing is even more so. My purpose to writing this blog was to bring current world issues to the attention of other people, but instead I feel more like I'm just talking to myself. If you read this blog and it means something to you, please let me know, and please pass on a link to your friends so they too can learn and be affected. I appreciate the comment I've received thus far, and believe me, I love the idea that I'm helping people learn more about the world and it's current issues. Thanks for reading thus far...
