2020 tragic horrific year

Everyone has waited for 2020 and the evolutions to extend and soar our children and people into the high tech future. Some have thought to start seeing people driving in flying cars, live in houses that hover over the ground. But sadly and tragically we have went into a year that has brough on tragic and horrific details for our history on this small blip of a year to last years.

Our beginning of the new year led us into a quarantine of a lifetime. Everyone scared to go out to the grocery store for contracting a virus they have little knowledge of, and having to wear masks where ever they go. Kids are learning in a new way and new environments, If they go to school its a couple days and they are wearing masks and can't play as they normally would and the other days are on the computer at home. Or they are on the computer everyday mon thru fri, this is all grades.

I have a 5 year old starting kindergarden in a new school and is doing virtual all week. Now my question is, How is a kindergardener suppose to learn virtually? When in this age range and grade they are learners that need the contact and physical connection to what they are learning. So yes with that they need someone to be there to help them with what they are suppose to be learning. In this time of world, it is hard for a household to stay barely afloat with one person working if they are working. This time and age it is needed for both parents to work and sometimes another source of income as well just to keep things going with necessities with kids.

In the past 3 weeks alone, I have stressing over the deadly virus and how this new way of living is affecting the kids trying to get stable in a new place we are trying to set a life up for our kids. But I have also come across the horrific scenes of whats going on around our world. People going off bout history in the past that, yes I agree is horrid, but we do need to work on. but please tell me how does burnin businesses and people's houses down and killing people, Kids and inocents, going to prove your point? People yelling black lives matter and burning cities and businessess down with kids and people in them, and want justice. I agree there is alot on the black history that is just wrong and horrid, same in other ethnics, but the ones dying and buildings burning are not the reason any of those things happend in the past so way should they have paid.

All lives and ethnics matter. Shouldn't matter what color, size, religion, or what ever should give anyone a reason to harm another. We are downing and burning and disgracing the wrong ones. The ones that should have paid probably will only pay in front of the Lord himself when that time come. We need to come together and leave past in past because too many people have died for the so called cause of someone else's bullcrap of beliefs. So much that our soldiers are coming home and killing themselves which brings me to another point of this horrific year. A veteran coming home and having issues falling back in line in his home turf. His family falling apart, and him seeing all that over yonder he was asked and led to do. To come home and with feeling like he did not matter even after puttin his life on the line to come home and get swept to the side and watch what he was fighting for fall apart and get takin from him, to feel that he had no choice but to take his life on media in front of everyone live. He blew his head off on live web cam for everyone to watch, including kids.

We the people had starting tearing each other apart for a long time now, but for 2020 to come around and throw this horrific stream of devasting events, States on fire, states going under water, Hurricanes ripping through peoples homes, Viruses killing millions and putting everyone in quarintine, and people killing themselves online for our children to see to people burning cities and everything to the ground. Where is the compassion and love for others.
