Anger, Frustration, and Fear

Don The Idea Guy June 1, 2020

Like you, I’ve witnessed videos and news coverage and riots/demonstrations on social media and in my city. This stuff is scary and depressing and emotionally draining.

This post was originally over 1,600 words and was mostly me trying to work through my own thoughts and emotions on the subject. Some people share thoughts in social media feeds, others head to the bar and drown their sorrows in suds. I’m a writer and a speaker, so I deal with difficult things in words.

I wrote out the entire article and was one step away from hitting the Publish button, but then decided it was too soon.

I saved the original post as a draft and perhaps someday the full content will see the light of day, but for now there is enough drama in the world. I’ll just say this…

These past few days have been nightmarish for cities across America. It’s like scenes from some apocalyptic movie come to life. Anger, frustration, and fear finally reached a boiling point after decades (generations) of mistreatment and inequality of black people in our country after the death of George Floyd was recorded and shared across the internet while he was in police custody.

We purport to value life in our country.

There are pro-life organizations striving to protect the lives of the unborn and there are anti-death penalty organizations who strive to prevent the government sanctioned deaths of inmates. There are anti-war protesters who march against sending soldiers off to die in wars and there are proponents of the 2nd Amendment who exercise that right to keep and bear arms in the interest of protecting their families.

With all these organizations seemingly focused on protecting life at every stage, why can’t we seem to stop killing each other out of fear?

Love you guys…
Stay safe.

Back from the grave!

Oh, hey. ‘sup? Yeesh. I guess the title of that last blog post turned out to be a little more prophetic than I originally intended! The prior article published on December 31, 2020 was simply meant to signify the last in a series of daily posts that I published through the entire year of 2020 […]

Don’t Lose Your Head

There are people who drive you absolutely bonkers (I feel your pain), and make you lose your cool at work. They don’t “do the work” and expect other people to cover for them, they’re constantly running their mouths all day instead of actually doing their work, they play their music through speakers instead of ear […]
