How It Feels in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017

So, I looking through BBC News stuff because… oddly I’d rather stay at work than go home… and I see “Survivors of Harvey” and “Destruction of Irma” and “Raging Fires of Montana”.... and then I see “Trump hires Chinese-State-Owned firm” and “7 Dead in Home Shooting” and in my cases I’m seeing Human Trafficking-Prostitution Exploding in Iowa and Violent Crime Rates Continue To Skyrocket and....

I had to stop and ask myself… am I seeing all of the shitty of the world because of my personal crap? Like… is this going on because of all of the negativity I’ve been experiencing at home?

And then someone posted the below image and I realized… nope. 2017 really is just a continuing natural disaster of a year. That kind of Global stress would happen despite people’s personal worlds. However, if my personal world was (shall we say) just a little bit healthier… perhaps I would be able to deal with it in better stride?
